NBA Season - now 24/25
-
The US had a very good win against Serbia but the best part has been the wash up of Tatum not playing.
-
lol NBA fans are in general olympic level haters
-
The +- numbers for Serbia when Joker was on and off the court was the most telling stat of the game.
Even with him on -26 without him.
-
Serbia are a big side so the rotation never really went down Tatum’s path.
I thought Kerr got the lineups pretty good last night.
White is such a good player to just have as a non-ego, play hard D, not worry about his own shot player. Jrue is the same but probably a bit more aggressive offensively.
KD was simply on fire. Hit some ridiculous shots too.
-
Two upsets in the women’s tonight - Nigeria bringing down the turnover prone Opals and Germany (in their first Olympics) defeating the Euro champs and medal favourites Belgium.
The Aussies played like they were rattled for most of that game. The Nigerian guards were superb.
-
The first half between Oz and Canada was excellent. Giddey, Daniels, Landale and Exum superb.
Second half the wheels fell off the Aussies. Poor rotations by Goorjan, bad use of timeouts when Canada were making a run, and Mills offering zilch.
Massive game coming against Greece.

Mills was terrible - not just offering zilch, but his poor shot selection killed them.
How good was Landale though? Giddey was excellent too.

McVeigh had a good game against Spain too. Some of these NBL players are doing their best to look good while in the international shop window

And the turnovers too.
Their best lineup is Jock, McVeigh, Exum, Giddey, Daniels

If you haven’t seen the game, try and watch the highlights of the Japan vs France game. Was pretty good.

Okay then. It went to OT (Japan actually should’ve won in regulation) and one of the Japanese guards was lights out. But Wemby took over in OT and France got the win.
Huchimura was ejected (harshly) in my view but Japan hung in there.

that US team is quite ridiculous. The Sudanese went on a little run in the 4th this morning, and then the US kick it out to Durant who drains a huge 3 and it's curtains. The talent discrepancy is stark (not surprising given 3 of the Sudanese have been on a Taipans roster recently).
Durant looks incredible this Olympics.

3-on-3 is fucking weird with the rules though. I reckon there is enough of a difference to negate the obvious talent advantage an NBA player would have.

get the fuck out man - are you honestly telling me that a team of Brown, Brunson, KAT, Randle couldn't deal to these other clowns?
They'd win in a canter

12 second shot clock, no pull up 3s on the break? absolutely zero post up game? Soft NBA fluffybunnies would be blowing in seconds
