Did you genuinely thought they had a chance tho ? That 3 point loss was a fluke, Spain or Austraila would have put a better fight. Good Game tho silver aint all that bad.
There's always a chance, specially with crazy Serbs when it comes to any sport.
The thing is, 2 out of our 3 top players (NBA players) couldnt play in the olympic tournament, and their absence was crushal for better fight(one is a center, and the other one is a center-winger), hence we couldnt fight them harder under the basket. Plus our boys were tired after two heavy games vs Croatia and Australia, hence our shooting vs USA wasn't even 30 percent as good as it was vs Croatia/Australia
And no, with all due respect, we were winning almost to the end of the 1st quarter, Australia and Spain wouldn't get that chance.
I mean lets be real, we were schooling Australians just 3 days ago in the semi-final, then same way USA school'd us.(went to 30 points)
USA was obviously playing with 30 percent of their power trough the entire tournament until they reached the final, when they went full power to make sure they win the gold.
