Olympics Basketball Thread: Team USA... Yo WTF??! seriously...Team USA falls to 0-2 in Olympic exhibitions after loss to Australia

[MCP]

There are still people on here who think that the USA only have to turn up and they'll win.

Like others have mentioned, the rest of the world has caught up with you'll

People kill me with this "NBA is soft" bullshit.

But they are.

Euro basketball Is more like 90's basketball and these cats want those prima donna touch fouls.

Most of today's NBA players are more athletic but lack fundamentals and basketball IQ.

I remember during the last strike Derron Williams went overseas and got 5 million and couldn't handle the contact and they damn near ran him out of the country for crying that he wasn't getting calls.

Please do not comment on African history ever again.
You do not know anything.

Royal Niger Company
Following the revoking of its charter, the Royal Niger Company sold its holdings to the British government for £865,000 (£108 million today). That amount, £46,407,250 (NGN 50,386,455,032,400, at today's exchange rate) was effectively the price Britain paid, to buy the territory which was to become known as Nigeria.

You full of shit.

Independence and Civil War: By an act of the British Parliament, Nigeria became an independent country within the Commonwealth on October 1, 1960. In 1963 Nigeria became a republic within the Commonwealth.

Nigeria is a British business entity. Like I said the people are a mix 3 main tribes with sub tribes that speak different languages. No genetic code. Thank you.

Commonwealth

1. an independent country or community, especially a democratic republic.
2. 2.
   an international association consisting of the UK together with states that were previously part of the British Empire, and dependencies. The British monarch is the symbolic head of the Commonwealth.

Straight facts.

I wish it was legal to through white men through glass windows like it apparently was back in the days.

 

[playahaitian]

This is the part I have a problem with. A pitcher can yell and pose after striking a batter out, and that same pitcher will throw at you if you watch your home run leaving the yard. That's some bullshit. Pedro was right. When someone says, "He played the game the right way.", what they mean is: "He played the game the WHITE way."

Preach.

This isn't a team. This is a gathering of talent.

Didn't think they would win

Senseless.

Durant and Lillard were trash. Pop ain't the coach for this team.

Pitiful

 

[DC_Dude]

Poorly constructed roster by USA

Take it to the rack with the intention of MAKING THE SHOT, not looking for contact and a foul call. A bunch of dudes at the the 3pt line waiting for the pass. I know these dudes grew up on the some of the same court we used to play on. Take it to the rack when shit gets close!!! Fuck this country club ball man!!!

It seems like they don't have chemistry.

This is what has really made the current game poorly played.

I am not feeling the Olympics this year even before this debacle.

 

[godofwine]

Barely watched the NBA all season. Only saw one game of the finals. Not a fan of the new game or the players who are talented but not teammates

 

[alexw]

The game changed when kd received his 4th foul. I thought dame would take over but he refused to shoot. Lavine, Green, Tatum are worthless. Should've been Trae, Zion, and Mitchell. Pops lineups don't make sense. The game has changed yet he coaches as if it's 2002. They need a pure pg. I don't understand how these rosters were constructed.

 

[easy_b]

Seriously I have a theory why do United States basketball team is horrible at this point you seen plenty of comments on this board about how soft the NBA has gotten well the softness is showing when we play international games.

 

[KingTaharqa]

Kevin Durant legacy taking a hit guys. He just giving talkin points to his detractors.

"No LeBron" is trending.

No you faggots, yall swore KD is better. This team doesn't need LeBron, he washed anyway. Stop using him as an excuse now that the Frenchies are roasting your asses right now. Hold your own nuts!!!

 

[parisian]

I can tell you the only player the French team feared was KD, besides him they were pretty sure they could stand to everybody else on that US squad
