Make sure that that's ALL he gets - no medal!

Why weren't you able to convince him to come back to Portland?

(And it's "chien")

I tried FAMS!

Batum-shakalaka!

He said that as a French person he just couldn't go back and have to pretend that CJ makes good wine.

 

[Pinwheel1]

Gotta say, it was very un-Luka-like to offload the ball like that. I mean, it was a smart play, given that he'd just attracted France's best two defenders, leaving the paint open, but...

In the NBA that is not a block that is a dunk. That Slovenia guy blew right by Nic. Batum was lucky he decided to lay it up.

OR.....maybe it was a clutch ass defensive play in crunch time?

Now we know why Nic DIDN'T come back.

Dame....5 points and 1 assist in the semi-final game?

 

[Fairly-Hard]

I know a couple of years ago Ben Simmons had the highest field goal % in clutch time. But whatever

I agree. Was just pointing out the way media and a number of people who apparently know are spinning this.
Apologize if that came off as snark.

Batum with a French Rejection

Hopefully he will be French Fried after tomorrow night.

Remind me again why we want to trade CJ for Simmons?

cuz Simmons is a much better player than CJ? And Dame will figure it out when he has more than 2 weeks to prepare. I still think Dame can play off ball in the NBA where he has more room to attack and he actually plays like he cares. My comment was only about these past two games.

And besides, the objective is to build a better team-- not necessarily just build it to Dame's strengths. He's at his peak right now as a borderline top 5 player and we're still a first round team. Maybe it's OK to try something different?

Everyone knows those are a Belgian invention. Him and his teammates will be French kissing! (Fuck your New World prudishness)

 

[Rastapopoulos]

This is silly: FIBA would almost certainly have preferred Luka in the Gold Medal game - he's the best player in the Olympics by far. But maybe being a poor loser is what drives Doncic.

I appreciate Doncic giving us reasons not to like him.

Keep whining, Luka!!

Doncic does lead the NBA in the 'most punchable face' category. Now, he leads the Olympics as well

Well i hope they do it behind closed doors.

 

[AldoTrapani]

Bro, at some point you just gotta' stop. No way you actually think this shit you post. NO WAY!

Dude read the thread it’s not just me fam

 

[AldoTrapani]

You don't think that Dame is having--relative to expectations--the most disappointing Olympics of any player on the men's BB team? Who would you say has been more disappointing?

Love big bro but he’s a huge bias Lillard guy

 

[SIeepwalker]

France going for the gold babyyyyyyyyy

One more way he is taking up Kobe's mantle.

I thought that was Jokic.

Be careful sharing this. You'll have people telling you it isn't fair to compare players that play separate positions. Even though it is a fact Durant is by far the best player on the team.

Durant is certainly the best player on the team, but he’s also clearly at the top of the pecking order. Any shot KD wants to take, KD takes it and nobody says a thing no matter how awkward of a shot it was. Everyone else is deferring to him and that’s been a part of the problem at the starts of games.

I don't disagree with any of that. I still think Durant is the best if not the 2nd best player in the NBA right now. He has been quite good whenever we need something on Team USA. Also seems to be leading well.

I never liked that guy.

And it's not close.
