All Giannis’ fault and all 11 Euro scrubs did their job; this is the message i am getting from the usual suspect. LOL

I never said any such thing. And in fact, I credited his great scoring. You love to do that, where you imply a poster claimed something they did not.

The biggest reason Greece lost that game was Walkup. Giannis' zero D the whole game was the second biggest reason. But Walkup is the biggest reason. He's been the worst player at the Olympics so far.

I am just going to assume ahead of time that you will read my post saying Walkup was the biggest problem for the loss of Greece, and in response that you will make a post about me that I somehow claimed it was all 100% Giannis' fault, because that's what you like to do.

Canada pretty small team. I like that we’ve used our size so far.

UcanUwill wrote:Calathes and Walkup should just not play together. Toliopoulos is least known player of theirs, but he should play more, he is seriously the only guard of theirs who is a shooter. I guess Larenzakis can shoot in theory but even he is mediocre at best.

Spain instantly put 2-3 zone when Walkup subbed Toliopoulos, and that was the game. Why put up two non shooting guards when you are trailing with few minutes left? This Greek team is brutal.


Maybe to NBA only fans and guys from Europe like you that say you only watch EuroLeague. If you watch European basketball other than just EuroLeague, Toliopoulos is pretty well known. He was an amazing player at the junior club and national team youth levels and he's probably the best guard in the EuroCup.

Toliopoulos is definitely a more well known player than other guys on Greece's team like Moraitis, Chougkaz, and Kalaitzakis.

To the people who have had Brooks on your NBA team, is he at least bearable because he's on your team, or is he a dick for everyone?

Loving the looks the Boomers are getting. Layups at the ring and shooting 12/18.

Canada shooting 5/10 from 3 has kept this tight.
