  1. What's our inverse magic number? i.e. losses + opponent wins until we're dusted.
  2. Yeah those things are fucking good. Diced onions is a good add.
  3. Lol... bro. They would have advanced on points were it not for the 2nd goal.
  4. US ladies hoops playing like shit.
  5. That's going to work really well when the DB doesn't know what route he's running, tries to press in the wrong direction and gets burned for a 75 yd TD.
  6. I was talking about this yesterday with someone. I think Morocco is getting a perception bump because they beat a "football giant" - but I'm not convinced this Argentina team is very good. At the same time, I think Morocco is legit. They proved they're a legit footballing nation in Qatar. I'm just not sure how much credit they deserve and fear they should instill for beating an Argentine U23 side. I mean, fucking Mexico won this tournament 12 years ago. Their national team hasn't done dick since then.
  7. I have never seen "3 on 3" basketball sanctioned at any level in the US. There are 3 on 3 tournaments and they did 3 on 3 for the exhibition "Big 3" thing but it isn't something with a defined ruleset or competition format. It's why we can't get a good team there - because our best players aren't wasting their time playing random 3v3 tournaments for points like they're trying to make the WSOP. It's a made up variation of the 2nd most popular sport in the world that's existed for over 100 years. I'm fine with it being a thing - I'm just not going to get into a tizzy over OMG THE USA 3 V 3 BASKETBALL TEAM ISN'T GOOD. It's like if they played 7 on 7 soccer on a smaller field and gave a medal for it. The super passionate soccer countries wouldn't care at all. They barely care about the Olympics U23 tournament.
  8. They went like half of the US basketball game yesterday without a scorebug. I didn't know it was 1993 still.
  9. Who gives a shit. It's a stupid made up sport that shouldn't have a medal associated with it. The women did win gold in Tokyo, fwiw. Let kyrgeserbistan or whoever win it as a consolation for getting their asses whipped in actual basketball.
  10. Schauffele coming out just stroking the ball. 7 under through 17. It's so cool seeing the even distribution of all the flags on the leaderboard.
  11. Hat Creek is good. Which ones have drive thrus, though? Always saw it as a counter-serve spot.
  12. This. Good God he was unwatchable in Tenet. Didn't help that he was next to Pattinson who is, well, a professional actor.
  13. I agree. But I don't think Kerr is going to bench his Golden Boy. We may need Curry down the road - just doesn't feel like this team actually will need him so far. Hopefully he turns it around.
  14. Overall not a bad game. Curry needs to get his shit together. LeBron was sloppy in the 1H but I'm not worried about him. Still waiting for Tatum to do fucking anything positive with the ball in his hands. I thought Booker was really good. I want to see more Ant minutes. Kid is the future. Also not sure how well the LeBron/KD/Curry lineup works. Feels like too many cooks.
  15. Seriously. This shit isn't going to fly in the QF. Dude needs to check his pride at the door next game. Kerr could also take some fucking accountability and bench him.
  16. Curry is getting abused by this guy. Kerr needs to sack up and sit his ass.
  17. That's a horrible offensive foul call. Also Curry making up for not making anything by playing shitty defense. I'd take Haliburton back in.
  18. Ant and KD feel like the heart of this team. Yeah I'm not giving LeBron and Curry the "they got scouted" excuse. C'mon. One of them is hot dogging around the other one is bricking everything.
  19. LeBron and Curry have been absolute dick. Get it out of your systems, I guess.
  20. 1. Tatum has been good on D. His goofy-ass offense will keep him on the bench in bigger games, though. 2. LeBron is dicking around too much. Pass the ball. 3. I hope Curry is saving his 3s for the medal rounds. Fuck me he can't buy one. 4. The team D is just ferocious. Total buy in and personnel mismatches all over the place. The 1 on 2 steal Ant had on the inbound was disgusting. 5. D White is awesome. Perfect FIBA player. It might. Jokic is likely going to be a problem for them, though. Bam is chewing them up inside.
  21. There's just no fucking way anyone beats this team. Up 19 - Durant gets a breather - LeBron and Curry check in.
  22. Tatum has been making Tatum look bad. But - more than that - Durant has been making Tatum look bad.
