Tokyo Olympic Basketball Tournament Discussion

[brutalitops]

Compazzo just complained to the ref about Ingles trash talking him after hitting the 3 on him

Getting Jingle'D hard

How **** good has SExum been?

Great last. Started the game shooting like ass, amazing defense. And hitting shots. Argentina got murdered

[ConstableChaos]

Rubios dropping 38 on USA, Mills is getting 60

[Sofia]

32-8 quarter

[Sofia]

Nice moment for Scola

[Diop]

Scola is great

[ConstableChaos]

Your superstar Doncic's Slovenia beat this team by 18 - Aussies dropped em by 38 with Dellavedova somehow playing some minutes

[QPR]

Thybulle is like playing 2K on hall of fame level. Just seems to intercept or get a hand to everything.

[Phreak50]

Feels like a USA vs France gold medal game and a Slovenia vs Australia bronze tbh.

[brutalitops]

Daring to dream we have a chance against USA

That was a filthy last quarter

[EmperorLocky]

USA are obviously huge favourites but they are beatable. C'mon boomers!

[The Moose]

can't wait for the semi final

[syntax]

Carry this confidence over to the next game please Exum... Wow what a game.

[DaBolden76]

Semi going to be huge. Boomers v USA rivalry lives another chapter. I’m banking on Jingles to be up and about. Past years it has been Heal v Barkley and Gaze v Carter… I think this game is going to be tight but Boomers to have a chance they will need to play the perfect game.

[Pachinko_]

Εven the refs were applauding Scola. Amazing.

Daring to dream we have a chance against USA

Slim, but it's there. It exists.

Interesting enough Serbia wanted to naturalize Doncic. Born in Slovenia to Slovenian mother, his father was born in Slovenia to Slovenian mother too. Doncic never played in Serbia. You would be ok with his naturalization just because his grandfather was Serb? What a joke. And Luka is not Tobey. If Serbia or Spain had gotten him, it would had been game over for everyone for next 10 years.

No, I wouldn't. I never said any such thing in that post.

And the Tobey and Randolph naturalizations were enormous. Slovenia would not have won a medal at 2017 EuroBasket without Randolph, and with him they won gold.

They would not win a medal at the Olympics without Tobey, and now they have a chance to do so. So let's please not pretend that those two naturalizations didn't have a huge impact on the results of tournaments, because they did.

You said, it’s different, if a player played in that country. How on earth can Mirotic pretend to be Spaniard? I at least understand why 2 mio country has problems with bigs, but why would 45 mio basketball country need foreign players?

I’m not pretending anything, rule allows it and much bigger nations than Slovenia are using it. You should complain to Fiba.

[Dupp]

Rip America. Shoulda avoided our bracket to get silver

[ellobo]

is the Spain vs. USA game tonight at 9:40 Pacific time or tomorrow night? I can't find it listed on the TV schedule for Spectrum

It's only on NBC's streaming service. Which sucks, but hey, it's only $5 for the month.

I'm seeing all the games live on the nbcolympics.com website. They even have replays the next morning of the games that are in the middle of the night for US Eastern time.

There are streams of all the broadcast and cable network coverage, plus separate streams of specific events (such as basketball games).

The catch is that you have to log in with your cable TV account. So if you don't have one of the eligible cable TV services, you may not be able to access it.
