team usa are always going to be better, they have a much larger talent pool than any other country

micah, Thursday, 11 August 2016 04:24 (nine years ago)

canada's gotta make the next olympics

lettered and hapful (symsymsym), Thursday, 11 August 2016 04:24 (nine years ago)

i'm still really bitter about missing this one

lettered and hapful (symsymsym), Thursday, 11 August 2016 04:25 (nine years ago)

think they have a replay online?

Spottie, Thursday, 11 August 2016 04:26 (nine years ago)

if you could form teams by continents it would actually be really cool imo

micah, Thursday, 11 August 2016 04:26 (nine years ago)

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.

6 god none the richer (m bison), Friday, 12 August 2016 02:27 (nine years ago)

he seems like he would be a good dad.

"It's just winks and blinks with Manu, mate," Mills said.

circles, Friday, 12 August 2016 02:31 (nine years ago)

coach K sucks.

Spottie, Friday, 12 August 2016 23:15 (nine years ago)

7 point game in the 3rd vs serbia

Spottie, Friday, 12 August 2016 23:16 (nine years ago)

KLay has been soooo garbage these olympics

Spottie, Friday, 12 August 2016 23:20 (nine years ago)

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

6 god none the richer (m bison), Friday, 12 August 2016 23:22 (nine years ago)

probably just smoking too much weed and not caring

Spottie, Friday, 12 August 2016 23:23 (nine years ago)

he also may just hate the smaller ball

Spottie, Friday, 12 August 2016 23:23 (nine years ago)

Spottie, Friday, 12 August 2016 23:38 (nine years ago)

4 pt game 7 min left

Spottie, Friday, 12 August 2016 23:43 (nine years ago)

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

6 god none the richer (m bison), Friday, 12 August 2016 23:45 (nine years ago)

man kyrie is fun to watch

A True White Kid that can Jump (Granny Dainger), Friday, 12 August 2016 23:49 (nine years ago)

yeah seems like he and melo are the only ones that are going all out.

Spottie, Friday, 12 August 2016 23:50 (nine years ago)

all 3 warriors been pretty bad/invisible whole olympics from what i've seen

A True White Kid that can Jump (Granny Dainger), Friday, 12 August 2016 23:53 (nine years ago)

yah, draymond still got the effort but his offense has been bad

Spottie, Friday, 12 August 2016 23:54 (nine years ago)

marv keeps calling Jokic "Jokavic"

Spottie, Friday, 12 August 2016 23:57 (nine years ago)

A True White Kid that can Jump (Granny Dainger), Friday, 12 August 2016 23:57 (nine years ago)

USA zero ball movement

Spottie, Friday, 12 August 2016 23:57 (nine years ago)

Spottie, Friday, 12 August 2016 23:57 (nine years ago)

Spottie, Saturday, 13 August 2016 00:00 (nine years ago)

Spottie, Saturday, 13 August 2016 00:01 (nine years ago)

Spottie, Saturday, 13 August 2016 00:02 (nine years ago)

went for the steal, no?
p george: "we're relying on our natural talent too much. makes it easy to guard us". sums up team usa since I can remember.

A True White Kid that can Jump (Granny Dainger), Saturday, 13 August 2016 00:04 (nine years ago)

Was just surprised that was a pretty big gamble. Paul George otm.

Spottie, Saturday, 13 August 2016 00:14 (nine years ago)

uh apparently the press and or people have started calling this USA group "The Meme Team" so let me be the first to say aussie aussie aussie oy oy oy

Clay, Saturday, 13 August 2016 19:22 (nine years ago)

The double overtime Brazil-Argentina game was excellent

lettered and hapful (symsymsym), Saturday, 13 August 2016 21:01 (nine years ago)

yesssss nocioni hopped in that wayback machine. scola was trash. manu couldnt shoot worth a shit but did plenty of manu things. campazzo was trying to get nominated for best baller in a short body award.

6 god none the richer (m bison), Saturday, 13 August 2016 21:07 (nine years ago)

Missed that game :/

Spottie, Saturday, 13 August 2016 22:00 (nine years ago)

Manu's chasedown perimeter block was sweet

lettered and hapful (symsymsym), Sunday, 14 August 2016 00:12 (nine years ago)

Treeship, Sunday, 14 August 2016 00:39 (nine years ago)

Clay, Sunday, 14 August 2016 03:53 (nine years ago)

Lol I was gonna say something but I think I've hardmanned Treeship enough

brimstead, Sunday, 14 August 2016 04:29 (nine years ago)

Boogie is not a good fit for this team. or for int'l ball.

A True White Kid that can Jump (Granny Dainger), Sunday, 14 August 2016 18:18 (nine years ago)

or for the kings. he might be bad at basketball.

6 god none the richer (m bison), Sunday, 14 August 2016 18:25 (nine years ago)

like i know he's incredibly productive, but he just turned 26 and seems to be kinda bad at defense and passing and knowing where to be.

6 god none the richer (m bison), Sunday, 14 August 2016 18:42 (nine years ago)

yeah he reminds me of Melo. v 1 dimensional.

Durant been sleepwalking thru this tourney so far.
