Basketball at the Olympics

[DUB]

Australia 71 - 77 Greece

Aus FTM/A - 10/21

Shaedon should be playing with Canada

He’s not good enough make this squad; yet. Hopefully he is one day, but someone’s going to have to light a fire under his arse.

 

[DUB]

Meanwhile RJ Barrett has looked great, both at the Olympics and for Toronto. He’d look great next to Scoot and Shaedon. *sigh*

But Scoot's not Canadian!?

Yes, Shae is definitely at least fourth in line in the Canadian backcourt now (Shae, RJ, Murray) and possibly fifth, given how well Nemhard is playing. And that's not even considering Mathurin. And Lu Dort has been a good soldier for so long he's likely ahead in the pecking order too.

Why doesn't the USA play Steph/KD/LBJ/AD/ANT together?

 

[SlyPokerDog]

USA should have sent a 3x3 team with championship experience.

Like our 3x3 championship forum team!

 

[PtldPlatypus]

Any predictions for the quarterfinals?

 

[SharpesTriumph]

Germany Canada Serbia USA

Heard we, USA, were the top seed. Do we play winner of a game or just lowest ranked seed?

 

[SharpesTriumph]

France could certainly beat Canada, good we avoided those teams this early. Greece is dangerous with Giannis.

 

[Quatro44]

I’m sure US beats Brazil. The other 3 games you can flip a coin.

Agreed

FWIW France is coming off of a loss to Germany. Canada a close win.

 

[SharpesTriumph]

Read that US plays winner of Australia Serbia

I'm gonna go with Greece over Germany
France over Canada
Serbia over Australia
United States will have no problem with Brazil

Currently 13/1. Go put $100 on that and you get a days paycheck.

Draft kings has Germany beating Greece and Canada beating France. Both -7.5

Jimmer flamed out of the NBA quickly. Not sure why we put our trust in him for this event.

We should have had Skip To My Lou & Professor do it.

 

[SharpesTriumph]

I almost care as much as which team won summer league.

(Whoever that was)

The 16 finalists last Spring, before the 4-man team was chosen.

They'll play with a silly looking ball, on a silly looking court, with silly rules.

Nope! You are not an insider! You don't even know the game! Where do you come off with the takes you have?
You do know shoes though.....

The guy/gal that does mow those walls did a great job!

A bad morning for NBA MVPs. FIBA Patty going off!

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Giddey's a nice player but he sure has a punchable face.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Serbia starting to hit their layups and it's tightening up in a hurry
