Kind of wore out late and missed shots that could have given US the lead but still impressed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fergasun Posted September 8, 2023 Share Posted September 8, 2023 Hot take 10 years ago: NBA players suck and have no heart. Hot take now: NBA scouts must suck... why is a guy dropping 27 in them not in the League? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Evil Genius Posted September 8, 2023 Share Posted September 8, 2023 Admittedly I didn't watch a minute of this competition, but the rules are different right? The Americans play their whole life with one set of rules and then internationally there is another set? That must be weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abdcskins Posted September 8, 2023 Share Posted September 8, 2023 Dammit!!! First of all I recorded the game planning to watch it, but then of course I open the ESPN app as soon as I wake up. USA should never lose, plain and simple. I respect all the other countries and there is certainly tons of talent out there. But our B or C team or whatever you want to call it should win. Really really sucks, I am not happy with this result at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ixcuincle Posted September 13, 2023 Share Posted September 13, 2023 People didn't pay 200 dollars to watch backups because the coach was too scared to play talent. now guys like Zion and Ben Simmons will actually have to play. remember when Zion was fully healthy last season but didn't play in the playoff game 😂 "Teams must refrain from any long-term shutdown -- or near shutdown -- when a star player stops participating in games or plays in a materially reduced role in circumstances affecting the integrity of the game." remember when Dallas was out of the playoffs and just started bench warmers the last 2 weeks. **** that. this issue was one of the major issues affecting an already flawed nba.

Ball Security Posted September 14, 2023 Share Posted September 14, 2023 Small world. Kevin Porter Jr of the Rockets allegedly beat up his girlfriend in NYC over the weekend. Gruesome. His girlfriend’s sister has posted cryptic messages threatening retaliation. The girlfriend’s sister? Dwayne Haskins’ wife. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, if it’s not spelled out, then teams will game it. If they want this rule to have teeth, they should make them play like 85% of their average minutes. I don’t like the requirement. I get it. But the team’s goal is to get their players healthy through late June. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spaceman Spiff Posted September 27, 2023 Share Posted September 27, 2023 I don't know how much better the Bucks just got. Certainly from a star power perspective they did but I don't know if Lillard for Jrue and Grayson Allen is a net positive for them. Jrue meant a lot to them. NBA always has the best offseason out of all the sports, hands down. Phoenix trading Ayton is a bit of a headscratcher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Giannis and Dame are easily Top 5 at their respective positions (that may even be underselling), and seeing as a lot of successful teams today are now building around either a dominant big or dominant pg, I'd say having both definitely makes them better then they were.

Both these guys (Giannis, Dame) need to score. Jrue didn't. Jrue was a better defender, Dame is certainly a more dynamic scorer. IMO, the Bucks just traded defense for offense. Like I said, it'll be interesting to see how Dame fits into a team where he's not the man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hersh Posted September 27, 2023 Share Posted September 27, 2023 Dame just wants a shot at a championship. Apparently when asked last year if there was one player he could pick to help him win he said Giannis. Plus Giannis doesn't have to carry the load and there will be better floor spacing.

No Nonsense Posted September 27, 2023 Share Posted September 27, 2023 The overreaction is ridiculous. They might as well cancel the season since the Bucks are virtually guaranteed to win the title. At least according to the Inside the NBA crew. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hersh Posted September 27, 2023 Share Posted September 27, 2023 Jrue won't be in Portland long either. It would be funny if he ended up in Miami. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Philly should be working the phone right now trying to bring Jrue back. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
