Congratulations to the USA for winning the gold medal, Durant was spectacular, he carried this team, and thanks to Tatum and Lillard who also showed their support when Durant was in foul trouble. It was a big effort, they have a good lead, France comes back but they hold on.

Also, congratulations to those who bet on France as they cover the spread.

It really was a spectacular win for the USA team, 29 pts. 6 Rebounds for Kevin Durant the big man that surely gets it all done, Jayson Tatum has 19 Pts. with 7 Rebounds, Damian Lillard and Jrue Holiday both got 11 pts. while in France Evan Fournier and Rudy Gobert both did 16 pts. while Gobert has 8 rebounds and Guerschon Yabusele has 13 pts. a sure victory for the USA, and the finals Gold Champion.

Congrats to all bets for the USA and congrats to both the USA and France for a tremendous game they have shown.

France stood no chances against the USA from today as they played high basketball. I still believe they had luck to not play with Slovenia but now after I saw that only Luka played on that team , I'm sure they would have beaten SLovenia as well.

Massive congrats to them as Duran just became the top scorer of USA at the Olympics and also he has 3 Olympics title just like Melo. Once again , congrats USA.

France seemed to be a better team than Slovenia, they were not dominated, they keep fighting but USA has just too much firepower in the game. At the start, France build a good lead but team USA comes back with some big shots, courtesy of Kevin Durant, he is the MVP of the team and that's very obvious.

Massive congrats to them as Duran just became the top scorer of USA at the Olympics and also he has 3 Olympics title just like Melo. Once again , congrats USA.
But this time he is the one who lead the team, and it seems like his injury was fully healed as he also have a big attempt to dump over Gobert, but that did not succeed though.

Kevin plays his best when it matters the most, I guess he saved the best in the last game, the US almost played a perfect game people have doubts when they were beaten in their exhibition, but they blend well, and all they executed all their plays perfectly it's not what you might call a very close game but still exciting to watch since it's for the gold, so congratulations to the US team.

Boomers won!
It's the first time in their whole Olympic competition to have a medal.
I have high expectation for Luka but Patty Mills (42 points) and Joe Ingles was just dominating the game.
But this is a good sign for the Slovenian team, maybe at this point, more players in their home country will have more passion for basketball.
This is also their first time to go that far at 4th place.

I did not expect that kind of ending, Australia defeated Slovenia by 14 points, damn, I think Slovenia was the favorite in this match but it turns out Australia is too much for them. Maybe they are still disappointed with 1 point loss against France.

I had doubts about the performance of the US team when the tournament started, but they proved the opposite with each game. By the way, Lavine made between the legs dunk in the last seconds of the fourth quarter, but it wasn't counted. Anyway, I guess that this moment became a good final point of this match.

Both teams showed respect, though France really felt disappointed as they have a chance to win the Gold, but team USA maintained their composure and they never let France led in the game when they took the lead. Good leadership by Durant and good coaching by Gregg Popovich too.

It's not surprising USA got gold medal, this is final game so it's not like a group game. It's more intense, more competitive and there is no room for simple errors. Scoring difference is not much but this is also expected. You can't beat your opponent in double digits easily in Olympics finals game. Kevin Durant played big this time, as he should be. Well deserved gold medal for USA and congrats to France for silver. They should accept the fact that you can't always beat USA, especially in a final game.
Slovenia missed bronze medal but Dončić is still young, they can try again at least three more times. Congrats to Australia for bronze medal. Patty Mills dropped 42 points and brought that medal to his country.

USA - France game was really exciting to see. Just as I expected, we saw a very close game. France were the only team which can put up a great fight against USA. And they didn't surprise me by doing so. At the end of a very good competition, USA were able to win the game 87-82 and won the gold medal. Durant also didn't surprise me by his great performance (29 pts, 6 reb, 3 ast). He had a big role on the win.

The other game between Slovenia and Australia for the bronze medal was also great. I was expecting to see Slovenia winning it. But Australia really surprised me. They defeated Slovenia 107-93. Doncic had a really good performance actually (22 pts, 8 reb, 7 ast). But I assume that they weren't expecting P. Mills to play this good. He literally won the game by himself. He got 42 pts, 3 reb, 9 ast.  He wasn't playing that great until this game. But he was the player of the game in this one for sure.

This is exactly why I honestly believe that Euroleague needs to grow bigger and bigger. If we could get euroleague to grow bigger, and have a lot more games, then they can grow a lot bigger as well.

Think about it this way, only 18 teams in a euroleague season right? What if you added more teams to that? Make it 30 teams? That way they will be able to actually increase the game count as well, even if you make it twice against everyone league method, that would allow teams to have 58 games, plus playoffs just like NBA would mean that every team could have as much as 87 games, that would mean 7 game series for 4 rounds which is hard, but anything in between 75 to 87 basically, and that is seriously amazing profit making.

With that they could get team planes for nearly every team, or at least euro league could have some planes for teams who do not have it and can charter. That will allow some good players to grow there, get paid a lot there and maybe not leave for NBA, or at least give them a chance to fight against USA a bit more because they have some huge league there as well.

I'm happ for Australia win. After all, it's one of powerhourses in basketball and it's something unbeleavable that's just first their medal in Olympics. Mills is great player, but when he play for his national team, he becomes even better.
I got impression that Doncic minds still were in lost semifinal and it didn't let him to play well today. Too much talking with referees, to many bad emotions. But it can be somehwat justified, he is still very young.

This is exactly why I honestly believe that Euroleague needs to grow bigger and bigger. If we could get euroleague to grow bigger, and have a lot more games, then they can grow a lot bigger as well.

Such thing wouldn't work in Europe. First of all because Euroleague teams also have to play in their national leagues, and combined it with Euroleague, number of games per season is already close to 100. Then they would have to leave national leagues and play in Euroleague only. And such closed league wouldn't be good for European basketball, same like European Super League in football.
Also, with 30 teams, level of competition would drop significantly. In Europe there is not enough teams with big enough budgets and Euroleague level rosters.

USA started slowly again as usual but then they picked them self up early enough, It really was an interesting and close game, even though I lost my bet.

I was really surprised with Slovenia losing again to Australia, it initially seemed to be Slovenia vs USA finals, but now they ended up without a medal. Mills was really firing up even in the game against USA, but the team was just too much to handle for them.

Hopefully we'll see more teams get challenge USA in due time, because right now it seems they really don't even need to try extremely hard.

Doubts was created because they lose on 2 consecutive friendly match before the Olympic started and on their first Olympic game, they’ve lost to France but their game was started to get better after that lost until they reach the finals and beat France for the Gold. This is actually a good game, France didn’t give up easily and they played a very close one, its just that USA are more experienced team especially on dealing with such situation, both teams deserve the medal.
