The Official NBA Season Thread: Fries Discourse | Mavs vs Jazz

[Moheezy]

I come in peace but what do you mean by it's not organic?

As in, there really wasn't any professional or local 3x3 runs happening in the Middle East. Fiba decided to run a tournament there (Which was dope) so that's what I mean. It didn't really grow here the way 5x5 became popular back in the early 2000s due to And1 Mixtapes.

They hold games during the NBA season, which the players can't compete in.

Feels like the retired NBA players could kill in this. Imagine Joe Johnson or Jamal Crawford.

underhanded free throws

Don’t you have to play in that overseas league to be eligible?

If they want more eyes on this they’re gonna have to waive that

How does Brazil advance already?

Top 2 third place teams go through, based on point differential.

Brazil is -7, Greece is -8.

Spain made a buzzer beater while up 5 against Greece which ultimately put Brazil through.

Greece depends on the Serbia-South Sudan game for the point differential of the third place team in group C (which will be the loser of that game).

Appreciate this!

Guess I'm rooting for a close Serbia-SSD game

Who do you want to go through?

Serbia is currently +15 (smacked PR) and SSD is currently -6.

Winner goes through as the second team in the group. Serbia can still go through with a loss of 22 or less; SSD can only go through with a loss if it’s by 1 pt.

I can’t even find the tiebreaker rule for if SSD were to lose by 2, or Serbia by 23.

I'm good with either three but I want to see how far Serbia and SSD could go. Greece seems like the 3rd best unit even with Giannis

Serbia loss seems the most likely route then. Tuff

Big 3 should just have their best formally qualify for FIBA like everyone else. Would be good publicity for them if they succeed. Give them a bonus if they qualify/compete in FIBA/olympics.

38k for gold medal, couple weeks of 10 minute basketball sessions ain't bad when Big 3 players getting ~100k for the whole season

What team USA starting lineup looking like if Jrue is out with ankle injury?

 

[Maximus Meridius]

Ah man

 

[rolaholic]

3rd shot

Nick gonna carry the torch!

What team USA starting lineup looking like if Jrue is out with ankle injury?

Could literally be anyone other than probably Hali in that spot

Basically just need someone that can play a little defense to make up for Steve’s lack of it.

Since Embiid is promised a starting job, probably Embiid, Bron, Tatum, Booker and Steph. I think it's important to keep KD tied to the AD-Bam frontcourt in case things get congested between them.
