2021 Tokyo Olympic Basketball...

[ForCuseSake]

Lavine has been crapola this half.

 

[Alsacs]

Might have to try McGee? Rudy is just too big for everyone out there.

USA needs a DeAndre Jordan type Big every cycle just for these type of games.
Tatum is giving Durant support.
LaVine and Holiday defense has been really elite this game.

France won’t win trading 2s for 3s.

Lavine has been crapola this half.

LaVine has worked hard on perimeter defense.
The offense has been Durant and Tatum iso.

Agreed.

I don’t feel so confident in the outcome though. KD has been insane and we’re only up 5.

 

[ForCuseSake]

He’s both grabbing and instigating contact and flopping at the same time.

All their guys are. They’ve ground the pace to a halt with that nonsense. Refs letting them get away with it.

Some of the off-ball shenanigans have been absurd.

You nailed the description of how I would expect a French center like Gobert to play.

 

[OrangeDW]

FT’s are the difference. We should be up double digits with how KD has played.

 

[ForCuseSake]

LaVine has worked hard on perimeter defense.
The offense has been Durant and Tatum iso.

All of the guards have played great perimeter defense so far.

Holliday and Lillard have at least attacked effectively. Lavine not so much.

 

[Alsacs]

Bam and McGee are going to be needed.
Durant/Tatum/Middleton at forward.
LaVine/Holiday backcourt.
Lillard has been garbage this game.

 

[OrangeDW]

are you kidding me? These refs are a joke.

 

[OrangeDW]

Draymond should just hit Gobert with the patented flailing arm dick punch and see what happens.

 

[ForCuseSake]

Starting to wonder what’s a foul in international play after that last sequence

 

[cuseattle]

Random thing... The scoreboard operators at the Olympics are quicker and more efficient than the NBA.

Run through a rebounders back and knock the ball out of bounds...not a foul. We know that much.

 

[ForCuseSake]

De Cono can’t drive without pushing off.

 

[OrangeDW]

KD!!

 

[JeremyCuse]

Durant just taking over, hes hit several shots that are indefensable

Lol, had the exact same thought in the first half.

Took me 10 minutes of the first quarter to adjust.

 

[Alsacs]

De Colo is an annoying gnat who deserves the Draymond cheap shot.

 

[OrangeDW]

Really? That’s our defensive adjustment?

We can’t like...double team and rotate? The way every NBA team always did? Maybe that type of team defense is gone, since nobody in the NBA has a low post center that anybody doubles anymore?

 

[ForCuseSake]

De Colo is an annoying gnat who deserves the Draymond cheap shot.

He’s the type of Euro hoopster I’ve always loathed.

 

[OrangeDW]

3rd quarter= Dame Time?

 

[ForCuseSake]

3rd quarter= Dame Time?

He’s doing better on O but he’s still taken one or two early in the clock deep 3s that didn’t work

 

[Alsacs]

The announcer keeps mispronuncing Ya-bu-sele’s name.
He sucked for the Celtics.

 

[OrangeDW]

Draymond with a great pass.

 

[ForCuseSake]

Members bounce for LaVine!
