Re: Basketball - Semifinals Aug. 18/19
If they lose, I pin this entire olympics on Coach K.
He's playing it like an all star game with these mass substitutions and pieces that don't fit.
You've got iso players all playing together.
Draymond Green (had most assists from this group) should be starting for the mere fact that he's not looking for his own shot.
Do these guys even know what "moving without the ball" means?
Lowry
Klay
Durant
Draymond
DJ
= 20+ point lead.
shooting, defense, passing, continuity (klay been hitting DJ, klay plays with dray, durant joining them)
Honestly it's competitions like this where real nba stars show up and who gets exposed. That doesn't mean scoring the most, it
means who's gonna help you win no matter what role they play.

No worries, they won't lose. It is all hero-ball for the US yes.

Draymond has been a horrific lost player in the olympics

Klay keeps trying to draw those NBA lean in fouls. Should be clear after however many games you're not getting those.

We're one vintage USA two minute frenzy away from busting this open.

KD has had some comically lazy passes turn into turnovers in these Olympics.

FIBA travel interpretation drives me nuts.

You knew they were calling it as soon as the pass was thrown.

Deandre and Demarcus are two low IQ centers.

That was a travel in NBA until 2008 in NBA they changed it because Lebron travelled so much. It is BASKETBALL rules not FIBA interpretation.
