olympic BASKETBALL!!

[The Wizard of Moz]

The fucked up thing is, watching this as a Cavs fan (or just an NBA fan), it's fairly obvious that certain players are shutting Irving out on purpose -- this has been going on since the exhibition games.

I guess Coach K and Thibs thought that American pride would supersede their competitiveness; but some folks are just sore losers -- or in Durant's case, followers rather than leaders.

I think it was a poor idea to put so many Warriors on one team; particularly Draymond Green.

but didn't you see? Kevin Durant spoke highly of Kyrie! He's a good guy, remember?!

Irving has received so few passes, it's ridiculous.. So many ball hogs... And I understand Irving is wanting to defer to team ball because of Coach K, but c'mon...

I think it was a poor idea to put so many Warriors on one team; particularly Draymond Green.

You fool. The Warriors are all selfless. Not only will they have no problem meshing together, they will actually all have the problem of deferring to each other too much. These guys only care about winning! Ask Klay!

These players who believe they've "earned" their right to jack up shots at the expense of getting the entire team in an offensive flow is driving me nuts. I expect it from Melo and Durant but Thompson needs to get his pencil-dick head out of his ass.

Fun fact: Klay Thompson is a combined 1-11 in Team USA's first two games.

It's crazy isn't it? Like, I've never seen Team USA play like this before. Quite often they would pass too much.

I think they are missing LBJ's leadership.

I think they are missing LBJ's leadership.

Definite possibility. In 2012 you had LBJ, Kobe and CP3 all providing veteran leadership to keep the young guys in check. This year the only vet on the team is Melo, and he can’t even keep the young guys on his own Knicks team in check.

Hit the nail on the head. They have no semblance of leadership. Your two veterans are Melo and Durant...a money-chasing volume scorer and a ring-chasing, shrink under the pressure pussy don't make for much of a leadership base.

The only players i've seen communicate to their teammates from the bench have been Irving, Green, and George.

Kyrie not looking good tonight. I keep saying it, but Australia has a really good squad, they'll be our biggest competition this year.

 

[Joe Henderson]

Delly ballin

Durant simply refuses to pass the ball. I really don't know if he doesn't care about the US winning, only is doing this tournament to boost his public support, or actually can only play in isolation. Damn.

 

[NorthCoastBias]

Team USA's offense is ass.

1. KD is a fraud

He gets rattled and whines over EVERYTHING and he hasn't even received a fraction of the criticism others of similar status have gotten over the years. He left his OKC bubble where they handled him with kid gloves. Can't wait to see how he responds.... and if this is any indication, it'll be glorious. He pouts more than Draymond!

2. Cavs will miss Delly

I get why they felt like they had to move on from him ($$$) but I'm not sure the combination of Felder and Mo will come anywhere close to filling that void (And I'm a huge Felder fan).

2016-2017 GSW preview for you guys, god have they sucked in the Olympics so far.
Anybody watching the game can see what hard nosed tough as nails defense does to low IQ ISO players.

BTW Klay Thompson has played 17 mpg and averaged an astonishing average of 1ppg on 9% shooting which is hilarious to watch.

Also its so hard watching Delly balling & playing great, hard for me to accept that he won't be on the cav's next season, I will forever miss him, wish me matched

 

[NorthCoastBias]

Kyrie is fiddling with his shoulder. Some Austrailan fuck hit it with a hard pick at midcourt.

 

[melecoaze]

Rooting for Australia but Bogut is a fucking thug. Cousins should fuck him up.

 

[Rich]

Way too much whining on team USA. Australia plays hard, team USA whines in response.

 

[Jordan]

Durant, driving into triple-coverage and has a lane to pass to a wide-open Kyle Lowry... Instead of passing he opts to shoot the ball with four hands in his face. Fucking retarded.
