OT Mens/Womens Olympic basketball thread

Can we have this here? We don't have much going on in the NBA right now.

USA womens team just blew out Senegal 121-56

USA mens basketball vs Lithuania coming up at 10.

Lithuania is playing Brazil. I made thew same mistake. I think the website was wrong or unclear or something.

No it was the info on the TV.

 

[GriLtCheeZ]

No it was the info on the TV.

I saw the Comcast website info. Even texted a friend that the game was about to start.

Well hell, tell him to come to the forum to talk about it!

 

[Strenuus]

I'd rather sleep. Just about as good of entertainment.

The women's team is beasting....I only saw 1st qtr of the game against Australia....exhibition games..but they embarrassed the hell out of Canada. Brittany Grimes hasn't impressed me much yet but the team defense of the women's USA team is awesome

 

[BigGameDamian]

Diana Taurasi hit 5 three's today.

Diana Taurasi hit 5 three's today.

She shoots like Curry from deep..quickest release in women's hoops!

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Spain - Croatia is a nailbiter. Dario Saric is the nearest thing to Sabonis since the real thing. (Just 6 inches shorter)

 

[Rastapopoulos]

It's Sixer vs. Sixer (Sergio vs. Saric)

 

[stampedehero]

Blowouts are boring. I like to the US teams battle and scratch out a win

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Saric wins the game with a block on Gasol! Wow.



It seems almost inevitable that we will trade CJ to the Sixers for one or more of their front court players. If we can't get a healthy Embiid, I rate Saric second. He could be a taller Kevin Love.

Care to expand?

To me it has been made pretty clear by the team that they are building around Dame and CJ. In 3.5-4.5 years ,if the due does not pan out, then yes, it would seem inevitable a trade would happen, but now?

Not happening. Sorry.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

I'm sure the Warriors thought they were building around Curry and Ellis, too.

Lol okay, no.

Lol except those 2 never led them to the playoffs, McCollum is a LOT better than Ellis ever was. It's funny how having 2 scoring guards immediately draws comparison to Curry and Ellis.

"Well, look at Golden State! They traded Ellis and now they are winning championships!!!"

-Even though the Ellis move was irrelevant to their rise, which was because of drafting Klay Thompson and Draymond Green.

 

[BonesJones]

That Croatia v. Spain game was fun to watch. Great atmosphere. USA would beat both by 30+.

Well, duh. And it would be boring.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

McCollum is a LOT better than Ellis ever was.

1. Prove it.
2. Even if he is, is he as much better than Ellis as Curry is than Lillard?

It's funny how having 2 scoring guards immediately draws comparison to Curry and Ellis.

Hey, I could've said Steve Francis and Cat Mobley. You prefer that?

 

[Rastapopoulos]

I would have no problem with having two small guards if we had Hakeem Olajuwon anchoring the paint.

 

[Wizard Mentor]

1. Prove it.

Easy. CJ doesn't give interviews like this:

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

Holy shit Chamberlain Oguchi plays for Nigeria? Lol

 

[BonesJones]

1. Prove it.
2. Even if he is, is he as much better than Ellis as Curry is than Lillard?



Hey, I could've said Steve Francis and Cat Mobley. You prefer that?

Lillard is much better than the Curry that was playing along Ellis.

 

[Chris Craig]

Easy. CJ doesn't give interviews like this:

That's like Kobe saying he's as good as Jordan

 

[SlyPokerDog]

The men's team was down huge to China and battled back from an 0-2 deficit to barely win, 119-62.

The men's and women's teams won by the exact same score???

 

[Trackjack]

I will watch the women play as long as Green on the men's team I will not watch.

 

[Dougnsalem]

What the heck is up with our NBA players, and nut shots??? There should be some kind of hazardous duty pay in their contracts....

And how can he continue upcourt, as if he never had the ball to begin with??? There's a drug test just waiting to happen....

 

[Mediocre Man]

Only thing more unwatchable than the NBA is NBA pkayers pkaying against uncle Ferdinand from Peru or whatever.
