2024 Olympic BASKETBALL Thread (Pt. 2: Let the Games Begin!)

[lambchop]

BTW.. anyone knows why the halfcourt line looks like there are two dicks in it? Is this a continuation of whatever that was in the opening? I cringed for whatever they were thinking so stopped watching it.

You're talking about the images opposite of the 2 basketballs? Its the court outline.. has a 3pt, restricted area, etc. Its also on the court inside the 3pt line.

Also, idk how you see 2 dicks really..

Every time they dribble pass the halfcourt line i kept thinking " what the heck is that thing??? It looks like..."

I cant unsee the two penises now. However, they are poorly drawn for sure.

I'm happy NBC realized people want to have choice to watch whatever they want like CBC (Canada's Olympic Broadcast Company) has had for years now. Finally don't need a VPN just need to use Peacock and now I can watch whatever sport live that I want to! No more 'time specific' events you can only watch on 'primetime' that isn't live, etc.

Anyone think Brazil can keep this close?

Leaning towards France making a statement out of this game for a big blowout win. Not too impressed with Brazil in the qualifiers. i think Riga was the weakest among the OQTs.

Betting should not be allowed for the Olympics (or any games). Athletes who miss the podium is already mentally drain and devastated, they don’t need to go to the comment section and people yelling at them because the betters lost money.

Athletes shouldn’t know about betting and betting odds. But as you can see, at times they know the lines and play around it accordingly, LOL.

I agree with this. Keep the Olympics pure. However I will still be betting on the games

Can’t control people gambling but associations can control their athletes from knowing (and doing something about it) about betting/betting lines.

How do they do it? Cut them from technology? If they want, they can always look it up, i doubt a lot of them care, they know their odds from different outlets, and I am not talking literal betting odds. Also, athletes who heartbrokenly loses medal chance, I doubt they care that much about their loss impacting betters, even if those betters are online. Some idiots can always target family numbers or stalk athletes online, but stuff like that always been a thing, you cant outlaw entire thing over extreme rare examples, its like when weather newscasters get hate mail cause weather is bad.

Bro what network is this game on?

We are getting away from the topic. Best that's discussed in another thread and not arrest this Olympics thread.

NBC and all its other networks like USA and such. But if you have the streaming service, Peacock, you can watch any of it.

Totals for the Brazil-France game is at 157.5. i expect France to show off their defensive prowess and limit the Brazilians to maybe 12-15 points per quarter.
