Sure, Dame sucked, but MIDDLETON SUCKED MORE! And he's an NBA Champion.

Thybulle is awesome. I’d love to have him here

I'm sure Philly would consent to a Dame-for-Thybulle trade.

Glad he missed out on a medal, but Doncic was pretty superhuman. That said, I wouldn't be surprised to see a couple more Slovenians make the NBA soon - Prepelic, for example.

Team of the tournament:
Durant
Doncic
Patty Mills
Ricky Rubio
Gobert

Could really have helped their countries:
Ben Simmons
Goran "not Zoran" Dragic
Schröder

US women play for gold this evening. Let's get a twofer!

Sorry, but it's hard not to root for this Queen:

I remain convinced that we intended to draft him but Philly surprised us by not taking Nas:


(But maybe that's giving our FO too much credit.)

Another reason to love Thybulle:

CAPTAIN AUSTRALIA!
We'd be very smart to sign Exum.

is he still a free agent?

 

[BBert]

Refs allowing Slovenia to be very physical, but Australia can’t touch Doncic.

No one can.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

is he still a free agent?

If this is still up to date...

FIBA Patty is unbelievable

Damian Lillard played through an abdominal I jury in the Olympics. His injury will require further testing upon his return to the US.

Yeah they decided to keep that one under wraps.
Lillard did what he was asked to do by Pops. You simply don't get a better team mate than Damian Lillard.

I hope he is better by the start of the season

Pretty sure a injured Dame is still someone the other teams always covered. He was seldom left open and usually had a better wing defender on him, which helped all the others games. I think most of us wondered why he was not more aggressive, looks like with his injury he was used as a decoy to open up the game for others.

KD bringing Patty to BK while Dame bringing Ben to PDX… Ben McLemore. Watch out Denver Nuggets

 

[tykendo]

No one can.

Sounds like the NBA as well

Looks like Dame and Bam really bonded

Was glad to see the Aussies win Bronze over Doncic to claim their first ever Olympic medal!
