Team USA Olympic Basketball

I hope so. I think they'll beat Germany to get into the medal rounds. I think they can beat France to get to the final. I think it's possible they beat the US if the US plays like shit and Slovenia plays lights out. And of the 3 other non-US teams on the US's side of the bracket, they've already beat Spain and Argentina. Australia's their only unknown for the bronze match.

A gold is probably too high a goal for Slovenia to expect, but damn. The fact that they are primed and to medal right now is pretty fucking epic for that tiny of a nation.

LOL I forgot that the knockout stage happened in like normal US timezone times.

So I was right about the Slovenia beating Germany part, we'll see how the rest plays out.

Rubio torching team USA

If Ricky Rubio bounces Team USA out of the Olympics we're going to need a Redeem Team 2.0 in 2024.

The fuck got into Rubio? He's torching us.

 

[bksballer89]

So many missed open 3's

 

[wildturkey]

Getting destroyed on the glass and can't make a basket

 

[bksballer89]

Can't ask for better looks

So is Pop gonna make any changes or just stay small and keep shooting 3s? At least Dame has tried attacking inside a couple of times

Nice back to back hoops for KD

 

[bksballer89]

Great way to close the quarter

Forgot Jerami Grant was on the roster. I didn't watch the Iran game but I do not remember seeing him at all in any of the other 2 games

Lmao. It's a miracle this is somehow tied at halftime

Think I might go to bed to preserve this good mojo. At the very least, I won't go to sleep pissed

 

[bksballer89]

Love how fast these games are though.

1240 start and we are at halftime in under an hour lol

 

[bksballer89]

Had no idea USA played a 2 point game in the 2000 olympics.

 

[bksballer89]

Really great 3rd right now for the good guys

Played like ass to close out the 3rd after this post.

Up 6 heading to the 4th

Looks like they got this. The days of cruising to a gold are long gone though and that's as it should be.

Ricky Rubio with the game of his life but team USA win by 14.

Australia likely next and Luka or rematch with French if they make the finals
