#Warriors fans root for USA (Steve Kerr!) vs Canada in #FIBAWC: watch party/live chat/commentary/PVO
24Game is being broadcast on ESPN+ (aka ESPN Plus). #Warriors #GoldenStateWarriors\n\nTOPICS & TIMESTAMPS:\n(to be filled in as we go, timestamps are not available until after the stream has ended)\n0:00 USA without Ingram again but also JJJ and Banchero due to illnesses, per Jake Fischer
1:00 Kelly Olynyk and Dwight Powell are the centers for Canada and I think Portis and Kessler can handle them, also Canada isn't that deep of a squad and I do think Mikal Bridges can contain Shai Gilgeous-Alexander thereby we should we this game convincingly
5:00 my diatribe on the good elite European teams, predictions of USA over Canada, Germany losing and Serbia being a huge problem next summer, also Zagars, Obst
18:00 more diatribe on America's cultural problem
24:30 end of last diatribe
25:00 on what I think of CP3: always has a chip on his shoulder, the low amount of turnovers will help balance the chaos of Steph
30:30 tipoff: Kessler starts
54:45 overall been disappointed by Brunson's lack of and-ones
55:00 Marc Spears said on a podcast that he's heard that CP3 will start but it will only be in 5-min spurts
1:06:00 Brunson finally gets an and-one! 2m42 Q2
1:21:00 Bogdan Bogdanovic is the perfect example of how it's more important for him to win gold for Serbia than it is for him to win the NBA Finals with the Atlanta Hawks
1:32:45 epitome of mistakes: 7m30 Q3 Kessler gets switched onto Shai, Mikal shades over because of it, leaving Dillon open for three, Edwards fails to read it on D and closes out way too late, Brooks splashes
1:55:00 Brunson blows layup, then gets outrebounded then commits and-one foul, but Steve Kerr has zero political power to not start Brunson
2:34:00 late OT, Reaves steps out of bounds, FIBA court: 49' wide, NBA 50' wide
2:57:00 KERR POSTGAME AUDIO (WITH MIKAL)
"We just ran out of gas. We couldn't get stops."
"The narrative about USA basketball...do we need reminders? We're past that. These teams are really good."
"It's hard for us to build continuity for Team USA...try to learn what wins a FIBA game...history of United States basketball, when we've won, what has been the reason, when we've lost, what has been the reason...got to the semifinals, we were right there. We couldn't get enough stops...try to build the best two-way team...but everybody's trying to do that."
"A lot of people besides those three have been sick as well."\n\nNext livestream: 4:45AM today for Serbia-Germany
