Australia playing great. Not looking too good for France.

Re: 2016 Rio Olympics basketball tournament game thread

I'm loving the green court actually.... France has new Unis also

Re: 2016 Rio Olympics Men & Women's Basketball Tournament Discussion

Man really disappointed by this first game. Bad defense, getting killed on backdoor all game long, outrebounded (was expected) and a stagnant offense. It's all Tony Parker on O.

Re: 2016 Rio Olympics Men & Women's Basketball Tournament Discussion

Announcers said France playing Washinton Generals defense after letting Bogut drive to the lane like LeBron and dunk.


I didn't know FIBA had the side ways break away rims too.

Tony Parker should be resting and getting ready for the NBA season

Had to update the post with the schedule


Surprised France got blown out like that in the first game and couldn't recover.

As I said in the other thread, we are favored by 47.5 points tonight.

They actually took him out when he was doing well, which is where they started getting killed after the first half.

Yeah if the guys come out focused they'll do well, but I don't know about 47 if China can play better defense than France they won't be that bad.

Re: 2016 Rio Olympics Men & Women's Basketball Tournament Discussion

French teams always suck outside of Europe.

Re: 2016 Rio Olympics Men & Women's Basketball Tournament Discussion

But you can't get blown out like that in the very first game

[23]

Re: 2016 Rio Olympics Men & Women's Basketball Tournament Discussion

Crazy how this day and age a dude who cant shoot free throws is starting for the US team.


Anyway they aren't blowing anyone out by 47 if they play this slow pace

Re: 2016 Rio Olympics Men & Women's Basketball Tournament Discussion

The buzzer sound is awful.

Re: 2016 Rio Olympics Men & Women's Basketball Tournament Discussion

If the Warriors played Team USA who would win? You can give USA LeBron and anyone else not on the Warriors.

Re: 2016 Rio Olympics Men & Women's Basketball Tournament Discussion

Gawd why did they ask Lowry to come?
