OT: London 2012 Olympic Basketball Thread

Can't believe Prigioni decided to finally try the NBA so late in his career. No doubt he can still play, but why come over so late?

Is he taking a paycut? Hard to say every player seems to value things differently. Some might want to just say they did it before their career is over.

Kobe has looked so old so far in these games.

Scola's game always looks so much better than his numbers.

You watch him and wish Boozer could do half that stuff, but the stat sheet says its a mirage.

Miss Nocioni. He goes hard, even if it hurts you.

Just punch Luis, we can lose any single player and still be good. :lol:

Lol at Melo/Williams.

Barcelona is such an amazing city. Gaudi's architecture is a thing of beauty. Must go back soon.

Carlos Delfino has so much more game left than Noc.

But we'll prob get a PG to finish things off.

I wish the NBA would adopt the FIBA ruling on timeouts. Only a coach can call timeout and only on a dead ball.

It would eliminate all that bailing out on about to happen turnovers and jumpballs, plus it improves game flow.

I agree with you 100% I could do with less timeouts too, that's never going to happen b/c of tv-ads though

But I do think Scola's impact goes beyond the numbers. Makes offenses run better, and he fires up teammates. No surprise, despite a total lack of talent (mainly due to injuries), Houston has stayed decently competent in a tough conference the last few years.
