Ant partied too hard for his birthday

Ant playing one of the worst games I've ever seen from him. Absolutely no effort or awareness on defense. No idea what he's doing on offense.

If we come back to win, its all because of Curry.

Also, Kerr should not be coaching this game. He's been exposed as nothing more that a decent coach that had a truly a great team. Spoelstra should have the job.

Absolutely agree about Kerr

You know who would be great for this team in 2028?! Jaden McDaniels.

Knows how to buy into a role despite being insanely talented. Defensive menace. And a IDGAF attitude.

In the gold medal game, who will Ant try harder to put on a poster, Rudy or Victor?

Not sure Rudy will play much. 4 mins in the QF, 5 min in the SF, that finger injury/coach might keep Rudy down most of the game.

Rudy struggle but Wemby too. The way french play without good passing guy does not allowed them to get bucket inside. Speed is also another factor. Defense intensity is really high on this team and Rudy is too slow for this style of play. Wemby is a but better but is far from being an important player, Yabuschele, Cordinier, Lessort who are all shining in Euroleague are the leaders. I do hope Rudy retire from French team after getting in final in France and focus on staying healthy and efficient for us.

NBC seems to be delaying the broadcast to 2:30pm, to show USA in Women’s soccer at 10 am, then some track finals.

Stay away from the news.

Ant hits a 3 over Rudy, trash talks him, Rudy looks unfazed

Ant trash talking Rudy

I love it

From a TWolves perspective, I’d like to see Ant and Rudy go off, but I want to see Rudy set some bone-crushing screens on Ant, so he will realize he should start taking advantage of those screens, rather than always wave them off during the season.

Decent start for both after one quarter.

Perfect response from both of them!

It’s a Michael Jordan reference.

In 1990, the Bulls drafted the European star who stayed overseas for two years. In 1992, the DreamTeam faced his Croatia team for the gold medal in the Olympics. Jordan and Pippen both kept demanding to guard Kukoc, and make his life miserable. Welcome to the Michael Jordan experience, Toni!

Can confidently say that Anthony Edwards has played his last Olympics minute this year, after that pass.

Put it this way, I was born in the 80s.
