Olympics and USA Basketball

I’ve been watching everything on the NBC Sports app. What’s really annoying is that when I’ve tried to watch a replay of anything, there’s like 5 commercials. Even if I’m only forwarding like 30 seconds.

Could Moe’s impressive olympics’ play inspire more looks in the NBA or is the game that much different that it doesn’t matter at all to NBA personnel folks?

I think NBA teams will value his track record in the NBA moreso than a couple solid weeks in the Olympics. Especially since he’s still struggling with things he struggles with in the NBA (defense and fouls)

Wow…really bad sequence for Moe. Missed two shots, bad pass, double tech, matador defense, then a dumb foul on a fast break.

See? Exactly like I was saying.

Well I guess I’m the only one sacrificing a well rested day tomorrow to catch this game! I hate to say it, but after the first half thank god for Draymond on this team. He actually gets international basketball.

I’m up, spent the game with some doofuses on Reddit tho. The semis are gonna be a whole lot of fun if AUS and France win. We’ll be lucky to get bronze tho

The semis really are gonna be something else. No guarantees for the US, Australia will be gunning for them. Everyone is picking Slovenia over France but I think France should definitely be favored there.

In this way, it’s probably an advantage that Australia beat the US in the pre-Olympics exhibition. US won’t be caught off guard. Will still have to beat them (and they won’t lack in confidence).

I agree. Slovenia has Luka but France has the better overall team.

nearly 50 years ago now but I’m still not happy with the refs. Young Doug Collins put the US up one then the shenanigans commenced

Right in them

This is some of the best switching defense I’ve ever seen.

It’s going to be extremely hard for Team USA to win a bronze at this point. In fact it may be impossible. Not sure luck can save them at this point

Aussies are absolutely shook on O. The only way they can score right now are Jock Landale post ups

Def will not win bronze…smh.

They got like 2 or 3 of those mismatches and even then he blew at least one of them. They were really down to drinking coffee grinds at that point.

The France-Slovenia game was a tight one. Batum with the block at the buzzer.
