Great, the only game I can watch live is the gold medal game.

Anyway, looks like Quarterfinals Game 1 is at 9 am (Rio time). That's rough, man.

 

[pmatic]

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Thanks Ska

Damn, I'm not going to be able to watch many games live 

 

[lawdog1]

TBH, I never really have watched all that much Olympic basketball. Considering the Olympics only come around every four years, I'd rather watch track, swimming, gymnastics, etc. than watch preliminary round basketball. I pay more attention when the medal rounds start.

 

[atransta]

I'm usually really excited to watch Team USA but this team is just meh to me. No one really exciting besides if KD gots super hot from 3 or if Melo is as well.

Same. Plus the comp isn't what it's been over the past 8 years

2008 was must watch, every game

 

[krispacinla]

Not me. It only happen every 2 years to watch these superstars on the same team, so I embrace it. Although Harrison Barnes should not be on the team

 

[pmatic]

 

[krispacinla]

^^^ That team was unbeatable. not even the 08 or 12' Teams could beat it. MJ, MAGIC, BIRD, CB34 Damm. I was younging in 92'

 

[nick.]

 

[awwsome]

@ Draymond calling anybody a fat boy.

WE KNOW YOUR PAST SIR.

 

[addict4sneakers]

Draymond might need to get the D'Angelo Russell data plan

I'm not sure what this means. These are elite athletes out there.

We just saw Demar Derozan almost pull off one of the greatest dunks ever. I guess "exciting" is subjective but based on my definition, putting 12 guys on the floor...of which 99% are all-stars in the most competitive basketball league in the world...I'm not sure how that isn't exciting.

 

[Hank Scorpio]

When the gap between gold & silver is so massive, I feel like USA should get all 3 medals

What's pathetic is that this isn't even the best USA Mens Basketball team. Not even top 3

Its not exciting to me because there's no real competition or doubt in the outcome. Just a bunch of great players being on the same team isn't exciting to me unless there's some actual drama in the games. Its similar to why I often find the NBA all-star game boring.

Idk man

Wasn't Magic and Bird pretty much done by then?

this
the competition also wasn't as tough as it is now. 92 was nice, but i personally think 08 was the best
olympics bball is really a showtime exhibition for fans to watch team usa put the beatdown
team usa could bring their Z team and still be able to come away with the gold. time to bring back the collegiate athletes and let them get some shine.

 

[atransta]

Can't go in the offseason thread so I'll just say it here.


Westbrook is THE GUY and I'm so glad he's my favorite player in the league.



KD.

What did you get banned for brodie?

I would rep you right now but I ran outta reps 

 

Still hurts man, I know I should move on but if KD stayed I think they would have won it this year.

 

[krispacinla]

Idk man

Wasn't Magic and Bird pretty much done by then?

Not really. Magic was still in peak shape, besides the Aids virus and the scrutiny by fans and the league. I think if it wasn't for that, he would have balled another 4 or 5 years in his career. Bird on the other hand had a ton of nagging injuries. Not sure how much longer he could have played.


The competition was low key compare to 2008. Only good team was Yugoslavia/Croatia. old boy ZAN TABAK and Dino Radja where on that team. of course KUKOC AND PETROVIC (RIP) ALSO.

KD.

RUSS is my favorite player also. Lowkey, KD lost a lot of my respect for him

 

[atransta]

Was low key real sad when Russ dropped out for two reasons

1. Last chance of saying Prime Westbrook dunk on everyone in the Olympics 

2. at how awkward and 

 

 it would have been seeing Russ on the team with KD, Klay, and Dray

So if Russ leaves next year and both planned to move on from OKC. What does that say about your opinion?

 

[Hank Scorpio]

2. at how awkward and     it would have been seeing Russ on the team with KD, Klay, and Dray 

Was probably the main reason why he's not playing.

If that is true, he's weak in my eyes.
