The Final Game As Team USA Head Coach – And A Third Gold Medal – Is In Sight For Coach Mike Krzyzewski
| Quote: | Krzyzewski will coach his final game as the head coach of USA Basketball in the gold-medal game against Serbia at 3:45 p.m. Sunday at Carioca Arena 1 in Barra’s Olympic Park. Krzyzewski could become the first U.S. men’s basketball coach to lead teams to three Olympic gold medals.
The U.S. advanced to the gold-medal game by defeating Spain, 82-76, on Friday. With points at a premium, Klay Thompson paced the U.S. with 22, leading the team in points for the second time in three games. |

| Oh wow Serbia. I had to step out and missed the game but who's even on Serbia squad I should look I didn't know they had it like that. Hopefully it'll be a good game. The game with Spain today started out OK but then it just...no. So hopefully just one good game, give me one good game with the USA team is all I ask lol |

With offense struggling, Jordan steadies Team USA
Center's activity on both ends gets U.S. into gold medal game
| Quote: | "It was a different type of game," Krzyzewski said afterward. "It was a very hard game. It wasn't easy flowing and both teams had to make big plays."
Jordan made a lot of them. With the 6-11 center being disruptive on pick-and-rolls and at the rim, a potent Spanish team was held to just three scores on its first 10 possessions, allowing the U.S. to build an early, 14-7 lead that it never gave up. Jordan blocked Nikola Mirotic on Spain's third possession, deflected a Sergio Llull pass on the next one, and forced Llull into shooting a tough, rainbow foul-line jumper two possessions after that. |

Trust me; Serbia is loaded and will present quite a challenge.
Serbia has an extremely talented team that plays solid all-around basketball on both sides of the court.
Nikola JOKIC (Nuggets) is their only NBA player, Bogdan Bogdanović (drafted by the Suns in 2014), Miroslav Raduljica and Milos Teodosic are IMO NBA-level bona-fide ballers.
The USA better bring their A-game. |

I think it will go down to 2 FT's by DeAndre.

Oh right Jokic. Serbia has random guys that play throughout the league but then you pull them altogether on one team and there you go.
Well so far in this Spain Australia game all the NBA folks are playing like NBA folks so Patty Mills and Pau and Mirotic, etc. all those folks are doing well. Except Andrew Bogut. Which I turned on the game in the third just as Andrew Bogut had fouled out. Bogey's decision-making continues to be questionable. |

If he has a bad game and we lose I think I'll start buying into the idea he is a choker. |

| Our offense sucks but Serbia only scored 15 points and that won't get it done against us. |
