USA Mens Basketball Olympics Thread

  Awful call on Carmelo....Jesus
  
  Refs have taken over....foul every time down the court

  Wtf that was a terrible flop
• Fly4Fun

  

  I HATE flopping. It ruins games whether it be soccer or basketball. I think leagues and the olympics need to clamp down on it.

  Too many 3's lebron is the only one attacking

  Spain is the St Louis Blues of the Olympics. They just grind any excitement and rhythm out of the game. I mean literally Spain just draws fouls, fouls or makes sure to slow it down. I think Spain has a shot to win this game though

  Half
  
  USA 59
  Spain 58
  
  Spain is hitting shots....USA mostly bricks. The referees are not allowing any flow whatsoever with 33 fouls in 20 minutes. They look horrible when LeBron is not on the court.
  
  Gotta play defense and LeBron and Love have to stay on the court. Williams, Westbrook, Kobe need to shut down the outside shooting of Spain.
  
  I'm not a fan of violence or any type of thuggery....but if Tyson wants to get tossed and pick up a technical by beating the shit out of Rudy Fernandez....I'm good with that.

  Doug Collins is dying from these refs.

  I'm sure Carmelo doesn't care about winning an NBA title because he's won a championship in college. Let me guess, Laettner was better than Shaq in high school? Give me a break.

  You are completely clueless. No one is saying Laettner had a better basketball career and I think the NBA might be a little tougher to dominate....this was a Laettner basketball HOF and we thought he would be because he was one of the most accomplished collegiate players ever and it isn't an NBA HOF....it's college, women, overseas as well.

  It's hard to believe the best big guy we could get is Tyson Chandler.

  Kobe let's Llull go right by him?
  
  Paul now being Paul

  I honestly wish someone would beat the fuck out of Rudy.
