Tyrese Maxey: “He works on his game, he works on his body, he works on staying healthy. People don’t see that, but he does. It’s like as a singer, I can be a soprano and a baritone. It’s unbelievable. I’ve been playing a lot and scoring those types of numbers with Joel. Now, without Joel, all the focus is on you, like heavy. I saw so many different defenses. Utah was in like a box-and-one from the jump. I didn’t even see box-and-one in high school.” Source: YouTube

I’ll be live with @AshNicoleMoss & @JohnGonzalez on @CBSSportsNet at 2 ET for another Beyond The Arc. Lots of USA Basketball to get to — KD and LeBron shine, Embiid’s so-so fit, the Kerr-Tatum situation, Brown vs Hill, & more. – 1:38 PM

Talent and depth are paramount in international play. In Sunday’s 110-84 rout of Serbia, Team USA once again proved why its unrivaled in both.
Jayson Tatum and Tyrese Haliburton did not play. Joel Embiid was far from his best. Yet the Americans won by 26 points anyway.

A few different times in this game Booker has sought out Embiid in that midrange area to try to get him some rhythm. – 12:32 PM
Evan Sidery @esidery
If you’re wondering why the entire arena boos Joel Embiid every time he touches the basketball, it’s due to his choice representing Team USA.
Embiid chose to play with the U.S. over France.

Nikola Jokic has the best efficiency rating of all Serbian players.
Joel Embiid has the worst in the game. – 12:24 PM
Evan Sidery @esidery
Have to wonder at what point Steve Kerr decides to experiment with Team USA’s frontcourt rotations.
Lineups appear to flow much better from a scoring perspective whenever Anthony Davis or Bam Adebayo are on the court compared to Joel Embiid. pic.twitter.com/rrEN4uRxBE – 12:19 PM
Dane Moore @DaneMooreNBA
Naive to think AD or Embiid or Bam can guard Jokic in the post without a double.
Think the Wolves laid a better blueprint: A sturdy 4 guards him (KAT) with a rim protector in a spy role off the worst shooter (Gobert). Gobert finally beat Jokic in the playoffs because he stopped – 12:07 PM

USA with Embiid: -11 in 6 minutes
USA without Embiid: +20 in 14 minutes
Cool of Steve Kerr to try and even the playing field a bit 😏 – 12:06 PM

USA is two different teams, with and without Joel Embiid.
Serbia is two different teams, with and without Nikola Jokic. – 12:00 PM
Cameron Tabatabaie @CTabatabaie
Embiid has never had teammates this good, it sort of tracks that he is struggling to fit in with this group
All of the other guys on Team USA have experience playing with superstars in the NBA and internationally – 11:58 AM
Jeff Wade @SkinWade
That floor in Paris is dope
And when Ant can go all out on defense cuz he’s not needed on offense he’s a MJ prime monster defender.
And Embiid is getting worked
Those are my immediate election thoughts on TwitterX – 11:53 AM

The problem with Anthony Davis in early for an ineffective Embiid is less potential time for the Davis-Adebayo pairing. – 11:27 AM

Joel Embiid was getting booed every time he touched the ball in his first Olympic stint in France. He was asked about that at camp in Vegas earlier this month.

Joel Embiid’s fit in Team USA might cause some problems during the Paris #Olympics basketball tournament, as the 76ers star has been exposed in defense on multiple occasions 🥴
Moreover, Steve Kerr has a few unusual plays like WTF and “Too small”: basketnews.com/news-209662-jo… – 7:00 PM
