2016 Rio Olympics | BASKETBALL | August 6th thru August 21st | USA/NBC/SN |

The defense by the Americans has been superb.

They def have improved as the tournament has gone alone. In a way they're kinda lucky this seems like a transition year for some other countries cause they've needed most of this tournament to work on D and to gel.

 

[GKJ]

They could take down the basket for the rest of the game and the Americans will still win

 

[Halladay]

up by over 40 with 8 minutes go, I think this lead is safe for a Harrison Barnes appearance.

Lucky? You mean point shave against teams they would otherwise destroy so their betting proxies back home can cash in for them?

 

[KaylaJ]

yeah, sure, that's exactly what i meant. thanks for pointing that out for me since i obv couldn't do it on my own...

 

[EC09]

Destruction. Once more.

[Tecumseh]

That's very debatable.

Id like to revist our Jay Wright > Jim Boeheim discussion .

There's always one conspiracy theorist.

Sheer domination from the US today. USA basketball (both the men and the women) are still far ahead of the world when they're sharing the ball and giving maximum effort. Major props to guys like Kyrie Irving and the 3 Warriors (and Durant) for coming to Rio after such a long postseason, especially considering how many other millionaires didn't show up (cough golf cough).

Just watched the Australia Spain replay.

That foul call that gave Spain the winning free throws was an absolute ********* call.

It was, but Spaniards always get calls like that one, it's nothing new that the refs gave them a push when they needed it.

Not watching the replay now. Thanks for the heads up.

My bad if I spoiled it.

Nah you saved me from buying a new remote control. If that play was as bad as you guys are saying there's a good chance that i launch that remote across the room.

At least you didn't say Boeheim.

He literally wasn't even touched.
