wow so sloppy and lazy
kyrie on a nasty hero-ball streak
― Clay, Wednesday, 10 August 2016 23:43 (seven years ago) link
im underwhelmed by usa tbh, maybe its their coaching but they dont play that well as a team
― micah, Wednesday, 10 August 2016 23:45 (seven years ago) link
haven't had to yet. just one pass and jack a three
― Spottie, Wednesday, 10 August 2016 23:46 (seven years ago) link
think this will whip them into shape a bit tbf

Doug Collins has like 3 things he says about each player and just repeats them to death.

aus might be the closest they get to real competition at this olympics

Australia not too bad, thrills baynes ingles delly even bogut isn't a dinosaur yet
― Spottie, Thursday, 11 August 2016 02:05 (seven years ago) link
aus might be interesting in another 4 years
baynes and mills should still be decent and delly, simmons, exum & maker could show
― micah, Thursday, 11 August 2016 03:56 (seven years ago) link
xp
yeah, other than australia which has some great young talent (if this team comes back with a seasons ben simmons and dante exum? could be cool), im worried about the international competition getting weaker in relation to US. argentina will be trash in 2020 sans manu and scola and delfino and nocioni...holy shit theyre old. spain probably wont have the gasols in 4 years (maybe marc?) and other than rubio, who else? nene and barbosa are on their last legs for brazil. it's weird, it feels like the nba got more international but the international teams arent closing the gap that well. is it that good (but not great) euro players stay in the euro leagues and dont get to face NBA-level competition?
croatia and serbia are developing some good youngsters, so maybe the eastern euro squads make a leap with australia next time.

should say "seasoned" ben simmons
― 6 god none the richer (m bison), Thursday, 11 August 2016 04:17 (seven years ago) link
team usa are always going to be better, they have a much larger talent pool than any other country

canada's gotta make the next olympics

i'm still really bitter about missing this one
― lettered and hapful (symsymsym), Thursday, 11 August 2016 04:25 (seven years ago) link
think they have a replay online?
― Spottie, Thursday, 11 August 2016 04:26 (seven years ago) link
if you could form teams by continents it would actually be really cool imo
― micah, Thursday, 11 August 2016 04:26 (seven years ago) link
Canada could maybe be okay next cycle xps

well yeah, im not suggesting absolute parity, but 2004 happened. spain made some things competitive once. i guess australia is in that spot now. but im more thinking of outside of the us, there seemed to be many countries getting in the mix for medals and it feels like some of those power countries (russia gone, argentina and brazil will be, what will spain look like, etc) arent necessraily getting overtaken by equally powerful teams.

visions of the future competing with KD for touches???

usa looks vulnerable, tho i never feel like theyre doomed due to ability to jack up score very fast.

US women six straight golds v nice

USA really feelin themselves now. Both teams suddenly realized how good/not as good they're supposed to be. USA spends so much time being scared to lose that it often causes them to nearly do just that.

lol this gold medal game might be the most one-sided one they've played all summer, even more so than the pre-olympic exhibitions

In this Olympic final Durant = MVP. Melo has played like crap, but then, so has Draymond. It's just that Melo got way more minutes than he deserved and Draymond only got in very late, after the game was getting sloppy.

i havent watched it yet but apparently the reffing in the bronze medal game was totally cooked
― micah, Monday, 22 August 2016 01:14 (seven years ago) link
excited for coach k to be done so they can let pop run this thing. this team really wasn't fun to watch at all. they had one play today that was cool where there was like 6 passes in a row lead to a KD three but thats about it. probably split the mvp of the whole thing between KD and Deandre.

Melo getting emotional in his final interview was cool
