Olympic Games Paris 2024

Embid is so frustrating to watch. Dude thinks he’s a 6-2 shooting guard and he’s so slow.

Curry is carrying this team

 

[NDBoiler]

Was that Paul Pierce on the sidelines towards the end of the game who kept trying to direct the offense 😂

He balled out in the 4th quarter, though. And he was the only one doing anything to slow down Jokic. But I know what you mean.

What a game. That 4th quarter comeback will be remembered for a long time if they go on to beat France for the gold.

 

[Some Irish Bloke]

There have been four triple doubles in Olympic history. Lebron James now has two of them.

I will say, it is refreshing to cheer for guys like Lebron and Curry when they're on the team you're rooting for, not destroying your own team

 

[NDRock]

Great game. Old guard stepped up. Gotta give credit to Lebron. MFer out there at 39, looking like Sam Jackson from Django, and getting it done for the US. Respect.

It was driving me nuts when he kept switching off of Jokic at the end of the game.

Serbia's clock management was right from the Bob Davie book of the late 1990s. Sheesh.

I mean to add that to my reply; 100% I have no idea why Durant and Embiid were switching. I know Serbia made a ton of 3s in that game, but in crunch time ,when they were obviously trying to feed Jokic, you don't switch Booker onto him. Ever. That's an automatic bucket.

Only player in Olympic history with 300 points, 125 boards, 125 assists.

Haters gon hate, but the guy is an all time great. Period.

 

[Fbolt]

A great player yet still weak. I hate.

Kobe would have cleared point wise if he was able to join the 2004 team

 

[ndfanatic78]

Defense was atrocious in the first half. Stepped up in the second.
Feel for Serbia they should have won with the way they played through 3 quarters.
Respect for the US men to step and remember what defense is in the 4th.
Steph was unreal shooting like usual.

 

[pumpdog20]

Embid got them in range and then Curry and Lebron took over! Hell of a game!

 

[notredomer23]

Kerr needs to look at tonight and get Derrick White out of there. He provides nothing and was a -16

They look at him like a utility player/glue guy. He's supposed to do the things the superstars don't want to do, but he's not been very good at that.

That first quarter was atrocious. If it wasn’t for Curry keeping it close, this game is lost.

Team needs to watch film of the Dream Team playing D.

Oof, that's brutal. I can't believe Haliburton couldn't be the glue guy and be more successful?

Ha. I loved the DT but they were playing plumbers back then, not guys who could shoot like Serbia or who had a 3 time NBA MVP in his prime leading the way.

 

[Terry Jillery]

Lady wrestlers 2 for 2 in going to finals. Good opportunity to win the team title from Japan who are the long time queens of women freestyle.

Can’t wait to watch Dake.

I think I saw Melo calling plays lol

 

[SDIrishFan]

I think I saw Melo calling plays lol

It was for sure Melo

 

[SaltyND24]

Oh he definitely called out that KD iso for the middy that sealed it.

Who tf thought Derrick White was Olympic team worthy to begin with?

Should have been Spida or Kyrie.

Level of competition is much better, but the Dream Team had guys that played defense, Jordan, Pippen, Robinson and Ewing.

Hate to see Lyles end up with COVID. You could tell he didn't have that final gear in the 200. Still took the bronze. I'm guessing he won't be on the 4 X 100.

Yep, I believe it was announced that his Olympics are done……very disappointing, especially for him.

 

[RDU Irish]

Catching a cold as you are in the middle of competing in the Olympics sucks. That blond gymnast had a cold knock her off her game a bit too. Good to see they aren't treating it like the plague and letting athletes make their own decision on competing.

 

[pumpdog20]

Can’t wait to watch Dake.

Smoked 20-12 in the semis. Will wrestle tomorrow for bronze.
