Baynes has the stupidest hair. That is all.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

No doubt the USA will win this (and win the Gold) but I didn't expect them to have quarters like they've had against Venezuela and now Australia.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

46-39

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Delly is guarding Durant! And Durant is 0 for 5...

 

[Rastapopoulos]

France just beat Serbia by 1 point. Tony Parker hit a game winning fade away after being on the bench for most of the fourth quarter.

De Colo threw an alley oop with like 7 seconds to go when they were on a fast break and should be trying to end the game . Serbia had a decent shot to win the game at the buzzer

Oh SHIT. I switched off because I thought France had blown it!

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Andersen can still score!

what station is the USA -Australia game on?

 

[ripcityboy]

Damn. Aussies are Ballin.' Good match for once.

 

[BonesJones]

Looks like we will only win by 30 now

I don't even expect us to win by 10.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Australia up 54-49 at the half! Coach K about to blister some lockerroom paint.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

I still think the top college players should replace nba players for the Olympics, I still think we'd medal too.

You might want to check your history. Why do you think the Dream Team happened?

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Apparently this is the first time since 2004 that the US has trailed at the half! I would bet my house that the Boomers lose by 20+, but Australia should get a medal for this at least.

 

[Pinwheel1]

Bogut 6-6 from the field at half.

Per Stein "touchiest of touch fouls sends DeMarcus Cousins to the bench with No. 3 early in the second quarter." Jordan has 2 as well.

Bogut has ZERO fouls...........

Sesame Street? Wth lol

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

I'm convinced this is the ISOlympics

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Bad bad bad bad bad news for Team USA, Carmelo is now the all-time leading score in Olympic basketball history. I doubt he'll ever pass the basketball again.

Aussie's have played together for a long time and it shows...they're playing their game

This is exactly like watching a bunch of four year starters from somewhere like Witchita State or Butler playing against Kentucky.

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

I hope Durant plays like this for the rest of his career.

I hope Durant plays like this for the rest of his career.

I hope he pisses of Green before the season starts

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

This is what happens when Carmelo is your captain

 

[Rastapopoulos]

USA shooting terribly.

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

Lol our switching defense is terrible

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Australia briefly takes the lead, 72-70. Melo restores order. He's the only calm US player right now.

He's used to being extremely mediocre, makes sense.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

SCRAPPY!

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Melo pulling the US asses out of the fire. 8 straight points.

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

Coach K's blood pressure must be through the roof right now.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

I would bet my house that the Boomers lose by 20+

Phew - glad I didn't.
