So that leads to another question. If CZR wins when is the next Olympic qualifying tournament?

So Serbia will meet the USA after all. Serbia will have to win qualifying tournament in order to play Olympics.

Is my (and everyone else’s) initial hot take of “Rudy Gay” coming to fruition?

Isn't he injured?
What's up with the minutes distribution here?
Gobert was dominant and played 34 minutes.
Turner, Plumlee and Lopez play a total of 16 minutes.
That means Gobert was matched up with a SF or smaller for over half his minutes.
US gets outrebounded 44-28

Wonder what the US attitude will be? They are already qualified I think. But they won’t want to lose again and be further embarrassed.

Serbia cannot qualify for the Olympics in these games either (best two european teams are France and Spain) so these games dont carry any compwtative importance for any teams..

I happen to know a couple of journalists who follow Serbian national team in China, so they are the source of information. I heard a lot of other crazy stuff too, but I wouldn't believe anything 100% at this point, since now is a great time to make up some stories and create even worse vibe than it is. Hopefully we'll learn more things when the team comes back.
As for the game today, I don't think it's going to be super competitive. Neither team is playing for what they came for, so the only question is who'd manage to find some motivation.
The biggest thing for me on this tournament is the fact that Bogdan found his rhythm, shot and confidence. If Serbia went all the way, he would've been MVP for sure. Having said that, I hope he can continue with such strong performances when the season starts too. No more playmaking, no more playing fake SF.. play little more like Peja used to, but from the SG position.

Well, who else can play his position? Jokic at 4, Bircevic, Simonovic?

Just goes to show how overrated Mitchell really is. Undersized chucker who struggled half the season last year. 5/7 games he has scored 10 or less for Team USA and when you’re a focal point on the team, that is not good. Had 1 really good game against France and his overall FG percentage is 44%, but very unspectacular.
Team USA was filled with role players and it showed. No wonder Fox and Bagley left.
Edit: other teams have improved and Europe and the world are catching up, but we lost 3 times! That’s crazy.

I felt like last season a lot of people of overlooked his poor efficiency. He has to get better in that department to become a real star.

As Peja said, if Serbia went to the finals he would definitely be in consideration for MVP. he was definitely that for our team. i feel if we had one more consistent / high level performer like that Serbia would have done much better.
