the garuba kid the rockets drafted is gonna be a really good defender in the NBA, only 19 and he was matching bam athletically. not sure if he has much offensive skill at the moment but he looks like an ideal small ball 5 as far as defense goes

good win for USA, spain was playing really confidently and crisply in the first half. the US basically needs to play like the heatles and just force a bunch of turnovers w/ pressure on defense and get out in transition. the half court is still a bit junky tho frankly they had some sick team possessions in the second half but when they have guys like jrue, KD, bam, tatum, draymond etc out there they can really leverage their athleticism and get easy baskets.

they were simply just not shooting well in the first half. bam had fumble fingers last night.

semis vs the Aussies just started

Bam really cant hold the ball at all

pure rim rest (Spottie), Thursday, 5 August 2021 04:22 (four years ago)

i wonder if it’s something about the bell

J0rdan S., Thursday, 5 August 2021 04:46 (four years ago)

australia is playing a great game so far

J0rdan S., Thursday, 5 August 2021 04:46 (four years ago)

this is brutal down 12 and 0-9(?) from three

pure rim rest (Spottie), Thursday, 5 August 2021 04:48 (four years ago)

ugly first half

hard to win a basketball game not making threes but the USA also is getting killed at the rim

J0rdan S., Thursday, 5 August 2021 04:50 (four years ago)

getting killed in every aspect of the game

pure rim rest (Spottie), Thursday, 5 August 2021 04:51 (four years ago)

hate pop benching lillard for this entire stretch

J0rdan S., Thursday, 5 August 2021 04:57 (four years ago)

lillards been bad tho

pure rim rest (Spottie), Thursday, 5 August 2021 04:58 (four years ago)

he needs to play bam too they need his size on his court, aussies had a lay up line to the rim with dray at center

J0rdan S., Thursday, 5 August 2021 05:00 (four years ago)

felt pretty similar to the spain game, just needed the three point shooting to normalize. australia is a better team tho

J0rdan S., Thursday, 5 August 2021 05:02 (four years ago)

dray got into foul trouble and played soft and pop stuck with him cos of how bad bam was playing. this team is just so poorly put together

pure rim rest (Spottie), Thursday, 5 August 2021 05:02 (four years ago)

all these guys are just used to having the ball in their hands all game and getting into a rhythm. dudes like jrue, book, draymond, middleton keep the ball moving (generally) cos they play off ball some. dame, lavine, tatum are stuck in mud out there

pure rim rest (Spottie), Thursday, 5 August 2021 05:16 (four years ago)

and KD just washes it all away lol

pure rim rest (Spottie), Thursday, 5 August 2021 05:23 (four years ago)

KD is really remarkable

J0rdan S., Thursday, 5 August 2021 05:24 (four years ago)

one of a kind

pure rim rest (Spottie), Thursday, 5 August 2021 05:25 (four years ago)

well that escalated quickly

pure rim rest (Spottie), Thursday, 5 August 2021 05:33 (four years ago)

this team is kinda janky and has had some rough starts but i’ve grown an affinity for them. when they play well they’re fun to watch, a lot of guys i like rooting for

J0rdan S., Thursday, 5 August 2021 05:34 (four years ago)

Feels so good watching all good vibes olympics KD

i agree, i like how imperfect it is. makes for more interesting games if anything

pure rim rest (Spottie), Thursday, 5 August 2021 05:35 (four years ago)

lmao draymond

pure rim rest (Spottie), Thursday, 5 August 2021 05:36 (four years ago)

it’s a great context for him you get the full KD experience in an unimpeachably positive format

J0rdan S., Thursday, 5 August 2021 05:36 (four years ago)

my heart is so full of love for draymond and his many strengths and weaknesses

J0rdan S., Thursday, 5 August 2021 05:37 (four years ago)

not a revelation but if the USA hits threes they aren’t going to lose

J0rdan S., Thursday, 5 August 2021 05:41 (four years ago)

nets getting patty mills is kinda unfair

J0rdan S., Thursday, 5 August 2021 05:44 (four years ago)

i see jrue still cant make layups

watching france vs slovenia right now. i love how these games are reffed. they just let them play for the most part but 'non basketball' plays like hacking on fast breaks are two shots and the ball which is awesome.

pure rim rest (Spottie), Thursday, 5 August 2021 19:43 (four years ago)

USA starting this game 2 for 37

frogbs, Saturday, 7 August 2021 02:39 (four years ago)

i haven't been watching the games until now, but somehow the ball + the rims seem so different.

circles, Saturday, 7 August 2021 02:46 (four years ago)

my jinx worked

frogbs, Saturday, 7 August 2021 02:53 (four years ago)

good job. it helps that kevin durant is very good at basketball, too, though.

circles, Saturday, 7 August 2021 03:03 (four years ago)

must be pretty cool to have Durant on your team

frogbs, Saturday, 7 August 2021 03:05 (four years ago)

curious why the USA is just willingly switching the pick and roll allowing gobert to play like he’s shaq

J0rdan S., Saturday, 7 August 2021 03:14 (four years ago)

Yah the game plan vs Gobert is sus

pure rim rest (Spottie), Saturday, 7 August 2021 03:50 (four years ago)

jrue has been the second best player on this is team

J0rdan S., Saturday, 7 August 2021 03:54 (four years ago)

batum has been weirdly absent

J0rdan S., Saturday, 7 August 2021 03:55 (four years ago)

Until that 3 yeah

pure rim rest (Spottie), Saturday, 7 August 2021 03:56 (four years ago)

Really good bam game

pure rim rest (Spottie), Saturday, 7 August 2021 04:00 (four years ago)

Jrues shot selection <<<<

pure rim rest (Spottie), Saturday, 7 August 2021 04:05 (four years ago)

shout out to the french coach for benching gobert for like half the fourth quarter

J0rdan S., Saturday, 7 August 2021 04:09 (four years ago)

France doin a lot of bad basketball things

frogbs, Saturday, 7 August 2021 04:09 (four years ago)

Nice to see dame have a good game finally

pure rim rest (Spottie), Saturday, 7 August 2021 04:11 (four years ago)

tatum feels like the carmelo of this team where he’s extraneously good for the role of third option

J0rdan S., Saturday, 7 August 2021 04:12 (four years ago)

de Colo has musketeer aura
