New: I sat down with Brad Stevens for a lengthy interview in Paris.
In part one here, we discussed the Tatum and Jaylen Olympic predicaments, Porzingis’ recovery, trying to repeat as champs, and a lot more. bostonglobe.com/2024/08/09/spo… – 11:34 AM

New: “It’s not what I’m not seeing from Jayson; it’s what I’ve seen from the other guys..It’s just hard to play 11 people, even in an NBA game…It’s a math problem more than anything.”

A great line from a Le Monde journalist to Steve Kerr, who tells him that for the home nation, playing this game against the U.S. for gold “is like playing the Super Bowl on top of Mount Everest.”
That seems big. – 7:10 AM

USA’s Steve Kerr on Gala’s “Freed From Desire” at end of France-Germany: “They kept playing that European anthem that I can’t get out of my head. Everyone was bouncing around. I took my phone out & videod the crowd because it was so special just to see the energy and enthusiasm.” – 6:21 PM

Steve Kerr: “Serbia was brilliant today and I’m really humbled to have been a part of this game. It’s one of the greatest basketball games I’ve ever been a part of. They were perfect. They played a perfect game.” – 6:10 PM

USA’s Steve Kerr on win over Serbia: “Our coaches were saying Villanova-Georgetown for all of our older readers & viewers. [Serbia] played the perfect game. They forced us to reach the highest level of competition that we could find. Our guys were incredible in that 4th quarter.” – 6:05 PM

The Great Escape. The US will play for gold after rallying past Serbia. “They forced us to reach the highest level of competition that we could find. And our guys were incredible in that fourth quarter, and they got it done,” Steve Kerr said. apnews.com/article/2024-o… – 5:41 PM

My biggest argument for Jayson Tatum – and this shouldn’t be an argument – is that you can play LeBron and Tatum and Steph and KD and Embiid and switch almost everything and you have the best point guard in the world to still run your offense – 5:41 PM

Big problems. For the US, for Steve Kerr. Whatever the plan is, might have to throw it all against the wall now – 4:22 PM

Kerr, time to play Tatum vs. Serbia. Size, versatility, may have shown a couple of months ago he can be trusted in big moments. – 4:01 PM

First-half takeaways:
— Tatum should get Ant’s second-half minutes
— what’s the point of Jrue and White if Avramović is going to cook like this?
— Avramović should get a max from someone – 3:45 PM
