Slow start

 

[bksballer89]

International ball is so refreshing. First quarter is nearly done and there has not been one timeout/commercial

 

[tlance]

USA forcing way too much early. Very little ball movement.

2nd unit has been better because of their awesome perimeter defense. This group should play more than the first unit against Serbia. Love The energy that George, Lowry and Butler are bringing.

DURANT loves the international game

 

[tlance]

33-20 when K goes back to the starters.

Should cruise to gold now. I like that K played George extended minutes. That defensive upgrade over Melo made a big difference.

Brazil can suck my dick for choosing this game time

And what is the alternative?

Closing ceremony is in 2 hours. If this isn't the last event on the schedule, it is very close to it.

Today is the last day? Didn't know that. I just know the gold medal basketball game started 11am on a Sunday on the west coast.

Could be worse.

It could start at 9PM on weeknights like every prime time sporting event on the East Coast. When you have to wake up by 6, that is brutal.

I don't remember stuff like that. Lol

East coast receives enough bias. it's hard to feel sorry for you folks.

True, but most of the best NBA basketball over the last 18 years has been played west of the Mississippi. No chance I am staying up to watch a 10:30 start during the regular season.

 

[Hornsstampede2.0]

So much for all the whiney complainers.

It wasn't our best lineup, and we still did not lose a single game.

GOLDEN AGAIN.

 

[douggie]

Kyrie Irving becomes only the 4th player ever to win a Gold Medal and an NBA Title in the same year. Can you name the other three?

 

[tlance]

LeBron in 2012 and Pippen in 96 were 2.

I am guessing Kibe was the other. Not sure what year though.

 

[tlance]

Kobe I mean. My next guess would be Duncan.
