Game Thread: OT: 2016 Summer Olympics

Well, Sushi just broke it down pretty well I should say.

I agree with his take and believe Klay's role and #s will change less than anybody else. You are getting too hung up on the idea of adding Durant and failing to consider the specifics of who these players are and how they play. Is it possible that they struggle to develop chemistry? Sure, but not likely.

In other words, you should be hoping for Cleveland to somehow get better, instead of worrying about OKC failing.

LOL. That should read GS at the end.

just for the record coming into today Kyrie Irving had by far and away the most assists on the team and a very solid a/to ration -- is shooting 50% from the field and 42% from 3.

he won the FIBA World Championship tourney MVP 2 years ago.

guy is an amazing international player.


the guys that are struggling are Klay- who is shooting like shit, Draymond who has given Team usa practically nothing- Barnes and Derozan who prob neither should be there-

too many guys taking to many 3's too.

Draymond 1/9 from 3
Lowry 1/7 from 3
DeRozan 0/2 from 3
Butler 2/9 from 3
Klay 10/35 from 3 for 28%
Paul George 7/21 from 3.


Durant, Melo, and Irving are the only ones shooting 3's at a decent clip.

*this was coming into today btw....website doesnt have todays stats accumulated yet.

Klay has been the best player in 2 of their last 3 games......

Also your last sentence confirms you have not watched any of the games and depending on stats to tell you everything.

Australia looks like shit. 10 points scored and there is 5 minutes to go in the half

Or, it confirms that he is not really sure what he is watching. That is another possibility.

Kyrie was the single biggest reason the offense was bogging down during pool play.

USA vs Serbia

 

[gohusk]

Damn, Japan just won the silver in the 4x100 relay but might lose it due to the anchor stepping on the line.

 

[gohusk]

US DQ'd in the 4x100

 

[wildturkey]

USA vs Serbia

Got the more favorable match up at least. Australia could have pulled an upset if we were to play like we did in earlier in the games. Serbia "shouldn't" pose that much of a threat.

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

its stuff like that where i find it ridiculous for people to speak in absolutes like they KNOW what is going to happen.

We have no freaking clue either way.

Like the post you made stating that no way in hell the Heat could win a playoff series if Bosh was out?

 

[Mecca]

Deandre played well.

Happy for my guy and he CLEARLY deserves to start.

Jordan is much better for this team than Cousins, and it isn't close.

if Kyrie ever leaves Cleveland some time down the line I will guarantee you it will be for the Los Angeles Lakers.

Our team has been meh so far. To much carmelo IMO. The more warriors the better IMO

Yeah this been the worse team since 2004 but unlike 2004 this team should win gold

i think this team suffered from a void of leadership too. Who are the "vet" leaders on this team?

Carmelo.

Wait!!...you said "leaders"...nevermind.

 

[bksballer89]

Spain wins bronze medal on an absolute shit blocking call which gave them 2 fts and the 1 point win.

 

[bksballer89]

Gold Medal match about to start. Last game at team USA for Coach K and likely Carmelo Anthony as well who will be 36 at the time of the 2020 Olympics.
