After crushing Team Canada in Vegas, the US almost lost to Germany and South Sudan. They were losing, and should have lost, both games.

They are favouring LeBron and and injured KD, who hasn’t played in any of the warmup games at all, over younger players, or those who can play roles. They are playing LeBron and Embiid together, instead of AD who looks better but is a lesser star.

But the sports books still have them as a 7-1 favorite 🤷‍♂️
