Phew - glad I didn't.

Dude, you live in Flint.

Dude, you live in Flint.

I could get $5,000, maybe even $10,000 for my house, NO problem!

Is Flint like Gary Indiana?

 

[PDXFonz]

Patty Thrills aka The Australian bomber aka One man one mission aka 2 legit 2 quit aka Pat Stacks aka Mr. Carry you far

 

[rasheedfan2005]

I like patty more than team warriors of america.

 

[BigGameDamian]

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.

I remember reading a thread a couple of years ago reading "The dude just scores!"

I'm talking about basketball.

Patty looks much better when he's not playing with Lamarcus...hmmm

 

[illmatic99]

Bogut and Patty were incredible. There's a reason CP was so high on Stacks back when he first burst onto the international bball scene like 8 yrs ago.

Is Flint like Gary Indiana?

We wish!

They had Michael Jackson. We have Michael Moore.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

"You can buy a house in Flint for $14,000"

Sure - if you want to way overpay...

Seriously? Michael Jackson is from Gary Indiana?

When I drove through it in 2001, it was mostly a ghost town with half the tall buildings downtown boarded up.

 

[BlazerWookee]

Go Boomers!

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Lots of Blazer connections in the Spain Nigeria game (including the name Aminu):
Rudy, Sergio, and also Ike Diogu and Ibekwe, who was on our Summer League team possibly more than once.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

I don't know why Claver keeps showing up to national team duty. They NEVER play him.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Llull is such a scrub. They should keep HIM glued to the bench.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Spain's best players are all old. Croatia is going to be killing them for years to come.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

US outscored Serbia 9-0 to start the game, but they've scored the same number of points after that, and Serbia is only down by 9 at halftime. Raduljica has played really well. He's like a Serbian Chris Kaman.

 

[riverman]

I tried to imagine Mike Rice calling these games...I don't think he could do it

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Serbia cut it to 4 - 77-73!

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

This team is an embarrassment.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Jokic having a much better game than he has so far this tournament.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Draymond Green has been pretty much a non-entity. Actually, none of the Warriors has stood out.

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

If I were coach K I'd make the team watch D2: The Mighty Ducks.

That'd get them to play as a team, if it can't... Nothing will be able to.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

94-91!!!

Uh...yeah...

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

Serbia choked that wide open 3.

The 2004 team could probably beat this team.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

THEY HAD A SHOT! THEY COULD'VE TIED IT! 94-91 is the final score.

The US was up 18 at one point.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

How many quarters has the US team lost already? I think they even tied one with Venezuela.

It's kind of a shame neither Spain nor France looks particularly strong this year. The US may have seen the best team already in Australia.
