They're ball movement for the open man. They were doubling Joker at times and leaving a
00:07
guy wide open every time. And you know, it's a kiss of death with that guy, Joker, when
00:11
he finds the open man and they were like shooting corner pockets, switch all net splash threes.
00:17
I couldn't believe they went cold, Kyle, honestly.
00:21
Yeah. That's why the one where, you know, I was talking to you about it before Doberts
00:25
was wide open on the right wing. Serbia was, I think, up by four points with like two and
00:29
a half minutes left. He had been hitting those all night, the balls in mid flight. And I'm
00:32
like, wow, they're really going to lose this game. And then he somehow missed. And that
00:36
kind of, again, catalyzed the United States comeback. But, you know, to your point, that's
00:39
kind of the, you know, the risk that you play against Nicole Yoke. It's like, he's so gifted
00:43
as a passer that if you double team him, he's going to find the open man, like a sixth sense.
00:47
It's incredible. There was a play in the fourth quarter also where I think it was LeBron James
00:51
came to double from the baseline. Someone cut, it might've been Bogdanovich cut baseline
00:55
and Yoke it's before LeBron could even get there on the double team through a head pass
00:59
behind his head, right to Bogdanovich for an easy layup. But, you know, bogey was a
01:02
killer yesterday. He, it looked, it seemed like he gave himself a little bit of like
01:06
added motivation. He was talking trash with Mello courtside. And, you know, I know Mello
01:10
was probably letting Serbia hear it back in 2016, when the United States beat them in
01:14
the group stage and then smoked them by 30 points in the gold medal match in bogey was
01:18
on that team as well.
01:19
So maybe that's why he had a little bit more to his game. But, you know, like you said,
01:23
he was a huge, huge reason why they had built the lead they did. And then, you know, those
01:27
are real tears at the end. Like Serbia has to feel like they really let that one slip
01:32
away. And that's where, you know, the United States, like with the momentum that they're
01:35
carrying going into the gold medal match, I don't know how they could fall flat on their
01:39
face after a game like that.
