Tokyo Olympics 2021

[ztejas 44,114]

Fuck. Way too close. Someone else needs to step up. Cig time. 

[UDontKnow 10,557]

All that hard work and it's only a 6 point lead. Team faltered in the last 4 minutes or so giving up a 11-2 run. <deep sigh>

[shadow_operative 15,932]

it had it be this way.

[ztejas 44,114]

KD has 25. No one else in double digits.

KD also has 3 steals.

Now all of a sudden they are going to call it like Bo Boroski reffing Wisconsin/Iowa on a Tuesday night in February. Ok. 

[Baboontyme 2,876]

Bing. Knock these down Tatum. 

[ztejas 44,114]

Who's next bitch?

[Kermit 3,162]

Rubio is having the game of his life.

[Baboontyme 2,876]

Clutch second half. Looking good. 

[SilasCoade 2,622]

[Kermit 3,162]

Rufio knew how to take a charge.

[UDontKnow 10,557]

Good bye to Spain's golden generation. Glad to eliminate them and send them home medal-less.

And oh yes. 'Murica bitches!

I'm rested. I caffinated earlier. Now it's booze and nicotine o' clock plus other stuff that's gonna keep this show on the road. 

KD with 28/7/5

USA 102 - 83 Spain

So 29/2/4 plus 3 steals and a block.

Final 95-81.

Don't worry about repping me. Gotta keep that butthurt going on the basketball board. 

[Drew 2,833]

Good win for the US. Australia is going to be another tough one. But if they show up offensively and attack and play great defense they should be on to the gold medal game.

Then they’ll play either France, who’s beat them already, or the upstart Slovenia team who can’t find a way to lose, even when Luka isn’t playing like Clippers series Luka(other than the game agent Argentina Luka has been held in check points wise…he still completely controls the game on offense and most games has been the best defender and rebounder on the floor)

[BigOrange1 6,608]

i didn't have the energy to open up my laptop last night, but i watched the whole game.  another huge performance by KD.  apparently that's what it's going to come down to every game.  if he plays like that, the US is going to be very hard to beat.  if not, they're extremely beatable.

looking forward to both semifinal matchups!

3 point defense will be critical against Australia. Australia shot 45% from behind the arc against Argentina which led to their blowout win. We need to keep them around 30%-35% from 3 point range to have a good shot at winning along with a decent game from KD

Quarterfinal game tonight against Spain at 11:40pm central.
If you're wondering what channel, I don't know, figure it out. 

Actually where the fuck am I supposed to watch this though 

That's funny but I'm glad you found it.

we're so fundamentally fucked that even when the ball handler does attack the lane his four teammates just stand still on the perimeter.

I hate it but it works for Slovenia and that's what my mavs are trying to do

[956 Worldwide 35,518]

Slovenia is the size of Massachusetts and has about as many people as New Mexico. The national hobby is beekeeping. It’s insane this could be a contest.

Well, somehow, they figured out how to have some lethal, balls as big as Texas, type shooters that aren't afraid of anything.

 

Oh and Luka.  Who no one can seem to contain...because even when you limit his scoring, he controls the rest of the game so well it doesn't matter.

When you have one of the best players in the world, things start becoming more of a contest.

[Baboontyme 2,876]

Dragic is on that team, as well. He's a baller. 

I think we can take the Aussies. Obviously it depends on a lot of things but two things I like in our favor in this one are we will have a massive chip on our shoulders, and two, Holiday wasn't on the team in the first meeting. Mr. Mills, meet Mr. Holiday. Get Draymond to punch Delly in the nuts a couple of times and we'll ride this one home. 12:15 AM EDT Friday? Is that what I saw?

Thursday.

[HookEm 2,492]

I’m amazed at how poorly NBC is promoting all of this.

[Doc Reeves 6,434]

Watching USA play Spain right now is like watching UT play

I guess because nbc has zero contracts for basketball.  They don’t want to promote players that show up on espn/abc and tbs the 98% of the time. 

[HookEm 2,492]

So they devalue the asset they have in the Olympics? If so, dumb.

You’re correct sir.

[ztejas 44,114]

The legend grows just a little bit more tonight. 

I'm ready.

[ztejas 44,114]

This one's for silver, boys. 

Let's get it. 

[ztejas 44,114]

Tatum, Lavine, Lillard...

Please. Just... please.

[ztejas 44,114]

Lillard already handing them points.

Thanks bro.

Jrue such a Godsend. So glad he showed up.

THATS A BLOCK! FUCK OUT OF HERE!

Durant playing first team all D out there and his teammates just throwing away possessions. Come the fuck on guys.

NBC can fuck right off putting these games on peacock. Now I’m not gonna watch out of principle.

[Kermit 3,162]

Defense looks great. Now start making some shots (everyone other than Durant).

Defense has been okay. Some lost rotations. No idea why we can't close on this Golding fuck. Not like he's going to take it to the rack against us. 

[ztejas 44,114]

These refs blow.

[ztejas 44,114]

Everyone but Durant (and maybe Jrue) on the floor right now should be embarrassed. How much money do all of you have in the bank? How many all NBAs and all stars? How many points in the NBA? And without one fucking player you would be getting blasted out of the gym. Show the fuck up for your country. Make a god damn play. 

[Kermit 3,162]

We’re in trouble. Can’t make shit.

[MNLonghornFUKM 8,964]

Lmfao. The fuck are we doing

[ztejas 44,114]

Fuck Pop too. Durant should just walk off the court and fly home.

Yeah, this isn’t in Pop. Turnovers and missed shots are player issues. I’m about done with the Pop slander.

[cactusflinthead 27,626]

O fer 9

There's your problem

[Loch Ness Monster 3,533]

Embarrassing 

[MNLonghornFUKM 8,964]

Well was looking bleak. Just give it to KD and get out of the way

[MNLonghornFUKM 8,964]

Download the Nbc sports app and sign in to your provider…don’t use peacock bs

[MNLonghornFUKM 8,964]

KD knows that ain’t fair but keeps doing it

[MNLonghornFUKM 8,964]

And then he does that

[Saint Austin 776]

Don’t tug on Superman’s cape, Aussies. 

[perfectchaos007 6,766]

Durant is the GOAT olympics basketball player.
