Old Going For Gold: USA Men's Olympic Basketball - Next Up The Main Event vs France (8/10 @ 3:30pm ET)

[NaijaProdigy Redux]

How fast people forget that the starters cut the lead to like 5 or 6 in the 3rd, then he decided it was time to do a platoon swap and brought in an all-bench lineup that already struggled in the 1st half and immediately swung the momentum back to Serbia and led to us entering the 4th down 13

Barring a meltdown we’re about to win gold but it will be in spite of Kerr and the homecooking the refs are about to give France

This dikkhead better keep the rotation short. Make this game out of reach by half time

Frankly, Spo needs to lock Kerr in a closet.

The good news is Serbia has way better guards than France.

And also we have better bigs than Canada & Germany, I don’t see Yabusele & Lessort bullying Embiid/AD/Bam like they were Dwight Powell or Daniel Theis

Man what has this thread turn too, Y'all want them to win or not?

 

[CHICAGO]

This board has fallen off as a sports talk forum. Look, there wasn’t even a thread covering the Olympics overall. Just a thread with pics of women and a US basketball hot take thread.

There is no mention of the Serbia Germany game at all.

Breh there's a massive thread stickied at the top

I think the funniest thing about the Tatum discourse is how Celtics fans so easily just said fukk Derrick White and Jrue.

Insert DNP Tatum in the 90s and he's arguably the best wing in basketball. The talent was weak af outside of the bigs.

No he’s not. Tatum is really good, but at this point he isn’t better than peak Grant Hill. Peak Grant Hill was giving Jordan and Pippen trouble.

Gonna have to set the tone early today, that crowd will be on fire. Like the KD in the starting lineup move, just keep the foot on their necks man.

KD averages nearly 30 in gold medal games for his career, it’s the first logical adjustment Kerr has made in two years as coach

Guys like Kerr are guys that have reputations of being smart so they do too much instead of just making the easy and logical decisions.

 

[NaijaProdigy Redux]

Wait US didn’t make any subs against Brazil

 

[GunRanger]

Do they win gold?

 

[LV Koopa]

Do they win gold?

Only because of USA bench and Vuc declining. But that starting 5 is TORCHING shyt. Bojan and Bogdan already got cannons. Luka and Jokic feeding means them dudes going off for 20 a piece.
