Olympics Thread

We lack a top level scorer, Mills is too long in the tooth and Bogut made a good point abut our lead in being soft, the team is going to go to the Olympics without having played much in the way of hard competitive games.

also not picking the best defender available while still taking Delly wtf

I'm guessing Traore isn't playing for France/too young? Although, from what I understand their guard play is their weakness.

Nadir Hifi is nasty

 

[Rubashov]

Is there anybody Jazz related playing?

Ded Ex will probably start for Australia, if he's not injured....

That was a really strange decision, maybe with Ded Ex, Daniels and Green they felt they had too many similar players? Cooks missing out was interesting too. Do we really need a third big?

 

[Rubashov]

It does feel like Australia's time has passed.

Right now it feels like Canada, USA, France have by far the most NBA talent.

Yeah we have a lot of very similar players but we lack someone who can take over the game and score the ball for us at an elite level.

Goga Bitadze tried to score an own basket to force overtime. Georgia needed a 19 point win to keep their olympic dream alive and were 2 points up with seconds remaining.

Any chance Gobert/Wemby are so dominant USA can't do anything against them?

Who is on the US team?

Surprised Hifi didnt make the final roster for France. They are stacked.

So what about the Wemby Gobert difference, what about the difference between the tallest four and are rest of the little people? They won’t win a game.
