Tokyo Olympic Basketball Tournament Discussion

I can't stand the way Luka plays.

Crab dribble backdowns, hope the defender hangs on your back scared to foul, screen, screen, moving screen... It's just not basketball.

Incredible passing and vision, there's no need to play like he does.

[RB34]

At least France has one advantage

All the French players understand the Americans

But the Americans won't know what the French are saying

The irony. Manu also known for his flopping. Or Bowen played dirty. Oh wait..it's not basketball.

Pretty incredible that France shot 48% from 3 and 84.2% from the FT line, while Slovenia shot 33% and 55%... and it was still a 1 point game. That's the most frustrating part, Slovenia should have gotten this.

[DFolks]

Doncic was gased in the 4th as always. That's his achilles heel

I mean very few people wouldn't be gassed.

He is running the entire offense of the team. And the opponents are throwing multiple bodies at Luka to make him tired.

True, that's why he should be less ball dominant. Maybe not in FIBA tournaments, but definitely in Dallas

Dallas should get better and more explosive point/combo guard then.

Doncic 5-18 shooting in the biggest game of his life!

[Chuck Everett]

Team USA in the Finals. Pretty surprising considering how awful Lillard has been the whole tournament. Means, he will probably go out with a 30 point performance in the Gold medal game. Props to France and Slovenia as well. Two more games and then on to next season.

[HMFFL]

Luka is injured, he is not shooting at all, probably the wrist got hurt after hitting the refs table.

Right after I read your post there was a timeout, Luka didn't touch, look, or show any signs that his wrist was bothering him.

Let's go France and let's go Australia, make the dough boy cry a little more.

When all wil be said and done, that dough boy will be billionaire while you will still jerk off on his rare fails. Have fun.

He failed in NBA playoffs, his fails work like a clock there. And with the way Cuban runs his team it will keep on.

[Jazztop]

All the Luka haters crawling out from the depths.. dude has been awesome.

Yeah - awesomely bad.

There were seriously people saying that Doncic is better than Kevin Durant. That’s how far this board has fallen.

As for Slovenia - I’ve heard that they’re considering revoking Luka’s citizenship

[Mauro Pedrosa]

One thing that Trae has over Luka is that shotmaking ability off the dribble or using a big man pick. His floater is nasty

Note: I don't have a dog in the race since both Trae and Luka are keepers for my fantasy team

His third season at 22 in the very deep Western conference. Carry on.

And yeah Mark Cuban is running this team. That's why no big time free agent will ever play under him. Dirk's prime years proved that.

Country of 2M people being 2 points away from gold medal game is a failure?

Still had 16/10/18 game, that's insane for FIBA game. We simply missed too many FT's as a team. And France did a good job with their defense.

[Karate Diop]

France gonna get wrecked by Team USA.

Why would Slovenia do that? He's the reason why Slovenia qualifed for the Olympics in the first place.

[Heat3]

So many haters on here. Slovenia did well. A block away from being in the gold medal round. It was a great defensive play. I had no preference on who won. I would have liked to see Doncic vs USA but now USA gets a chance at revenge against France.

[DaddyCool19]

Wouldn't surprise me if he suffered a bruised wrist or a contusion. He wasn't even looking to score after the step back three attempt for +4 minutes

Who gaf what happened before the actual tournament? The guy cost them a gold / silver. That’s the bottom line

France gonna get wrecked by Team USA.

USA can't handle Nando De Goatlo.

[KokoKaizer]

Just watching & listening to the french team after the game...

USA already won

Not the good mindset...

They will party tonight (Nando de Colo words)
