[PGDynasty24]

Where is Jose Patches and his Spanish excuse-making...

[whitemamba]

time difference blows tbh

[AussieFanKurt]

Hopefully its closer than the woman's gold medal match

[Jodelo]

Just hoping the US rapes Spain!

[Latarian Milton]

US will win but it's gonna be a close one tbh, shit's gonna be fun to watch

[The Gemini Method]

Kevin Durant will lead the scoring for the U.S. and LeBron will lead in making the plays when they count. Anthony Davis' unibrow will rival the hairy advantage the team from the Iberia Peninsula havae.

[Venti Quattro]

40 minutes bitches

[ChrisRichards]

I hope this one is close. I hate blowout games.

[ElNono]

beatdown about to start, tbh

[Russo21]

USA have no chance

[jeebus]

US has no class in this game

[Russo21]

Maybe the Americans can spend more time practising on the court then in tattoo parlours... just a suggestion

[Russo21]

Ouch, hard foul on durantula there

[jeebus]

unclassy foul

[smaka]

Spainiards at it, the ugly way..

[benefactor]

Observation from my wife:

"Those guys all look like Ronald McDonald."

:lol

[Russo21]

Carmello in and LeBron switching to the centre position??! For real? Against Marc Gasol?

[ElNono]

Navarro is hot, but not gonna last

[smaka]

Carmello in and LeBron switching to the centre position??! For real? Against Marc Gasol?

[ElNono]

:lol Spain thinking they had a chance

[Russo21]

Harden doing the staring thing on the bench already. :lol

:lmaomy oh my he's a wanker

[blkroadrunners]

Carmelo feeling it

[Russo21]

Still plenty of time for Melo to shoot the US out of the game

[Banzai]

Knicks fans praying Melo brings this shooting to NY

[jeebus]

I'm glad ibaka is in; he needs to get some good goaltends on the defense.

[Russo21]

Gasol can just about dunk it standing on the ground. Time to put the rims up to 11 foot

[jeebus]

Knicks fans praying Melo brings this shooting to NY

[smaka]

Mr. Facebook at the game too.

[Russo21]

[Venti Quattro]

Nice dime from Deron lol

[Russo21]

Kevin Love has gotta work the boards like a motherfucker if the US are to have a chance, we all know he can do it.

[MannyIsGod]

USA just shitting on the Euros

[Venti Quattro]

Shut the fuck up Russo21. :lol Tony Parker is an MVP contender

[MannyIsGod]

Kevin Love has gotta work the boards like a motherfucker if the US are to have a chance, we all know he can do it.

I agree. USA don't have much of a chance to win by 40 unless Kevin Love gets some rebounds! Otherwise they'll have to settle to win by 30.

[smaka]

Rudy Fernandez has one really really ugly shot maneuver, doesn't he?

[Russo21]

He finished 5th Venti. SO yeah he was a contender

[Venti Quattro]

[Venti Quattro]

Westbr:lol:lolk

[gaKNOW!blee]

[dfens]

i swear to god these refs are not using the fiba ruleset. So many mistakes going both ways.

[jeebus]

hopefully this is a learning lesson for USA basketball in never recruiting three OKC players.

[MannyIsGod]

Seriously - Refs trying to get the gold by calling more fouls than either team scores points. :lol

[resistanze]

Fuck you Spain this ain't soccer.

[Venti Quattro]

Westbrook can't even hit an open shot, what a fucking bum.

[ElNono]

:lol airball

[MannyIsGod]

Westbrook really is a terrible PG. Just missed Love wide open under the basket.

[jeebus]

[fevertrees]

I love listening to these foreign pro Spain announcers. "Carmelo with a rare assist" :lol

[resistanze]

[Russo21]

Yeah the dude needs to look for his teammates better, he has the talent, he needs to watch some stockton/kidd tapes or something

[MannyIsGod]

Can someone just give the refs a fucking gold so they'll let the game continue?

[Venti Quattro]

Chris Paul that was terrible

[Russo21]

[MannyIsGod]

Man, I hope someone punches Rudy Fernandez in the nuts.

[Latarian Milton]

in fact there're four OKC players eligible to play this game tbh

[jeebus]

Someone get Batum back out there and have him curbstomp some refspana balls

[Russo21]

Someone put some gum in the ref's whistles at the half

[baseline bum]

Unsportsmanlike foul on going for a fucking loose ball? :rollin

Fuck these refs and this game.

[Banzai]

Rudy a faggot with a faggot hairstyle

[ElNono]

Is Pau giving us a preview of his Lakers season?

[Latarian Milton]

Man, I hope someone punches Rudy Fernandez in the nuts.

america hater rooting for team US :lol

[TheRealCB]

It was a legit flagrant tbh. Iggy was trying to stop the fast break.

[baseline bum]

No FTs there?

[resistanze]

Kobe's invisible :lol

[Russo21]

couldnt even get a last shot off, shithouse. tight half, too many fouls, this will be a close one

[MannyIsGod]

:lmao well if you take the refs out of the equation USA is probably up by 20.

[ElNono]

Kobe's invisible :lol

Pau and Kobe head to head for most irrelevant TOSBs in this game... real talk

[MannyIsGod]

It was a legit flagrant tbh. Iggy was trying to stop the fast break.

:lmao Oh ok. Yeah he fell down in the area of a Rudy Fernandez and Rudy acts like he took a bullet in the neck but sure - it was a legit call.

Someone find that sniper in the stands, tbh.

[smaka]

[baseline bum]

LOL pedophile lecturing us about unsportsmanlike fouls.

[biziofromdowntown]

i see us team goes out in the second and destroy the Spain

[Latarian Milton]

monkey ball would've been losing it but for refs bullshit calls tbh

[ElNono]

Expecting Team USA barrage of 3s in the 2nd half per the usual goods...

[MannyIsGod]

TBH if Marc Gasol starts the 2nd half he'll foul out 2 minutes in.

[Russo21]

2nd half i just want the refs to put the whsitles away and let these fuckas play basketball. If not we may as well call the game off now and have a free throw contect to decide the gold medal

[MannyIsGod]

Expecting Team USA barrage of 3s in the 2nd half per the usual goods...

Might call an unsportsmanlike foul if they are too rough with the ball though.

[Venti Quattro]

LOL pedophile lecturing us about unsportsmanlike fouls.

:lmao Pedophiles talking about physicality

[Venti Quattro]

Might call an unsportsmanlike foul if they are too rough with the ball though.

Refspaña might call a foul on the US for hitting too many shots. Who cares, they are hurting Spain anyway!

[jeebus]

:lmao Pedophiles talking about physicality

:lol having kids for the sole purpose of raping them later on

[ElNono]

I wanna see punches thrown in the 2nd half, tbh...

[Latarian Milton]

shit is like a replica of a typical NBA game tbh, refs take the leading role and keep interrupting the game with bullshit calls. it seems everytime monkeyball was about to fall, the refs stepped in to bail em out, stern is sitting there in the crowd so we know why

[Russo21]

stern the ugly mofo is there? hmmm

[MannyIsGod]

I wanna see punches thrown in the 2nd half, tbh...

Is Tyson Chandler gonna have to choke a bitch?

[TheRealCB]

:lmao Pedophiles talking about physicality
I guess it's a bad time to mention one of the refs is Greek,right?:lol

[ElNono]

Stern thought this was the Spanish coach:

[jeebus]

Are the americans really crying about whistles?

pretty much everyone around the world watching the game is.

[polandprzem]

Marc with 4 fouls

[baseline bum]

Where the father of a good-looking boy will meet me and go on at me as if I'd done him a wrong: `That was a nice way to treat my son, Stilbonides! You met him when he'd had a bath, leaving the gymnasium, and you didn't kiss him, you didn't say a word to him, you didn't pull him close to you, you didn't tickle his balls - and you an old friend of the family!'

[Russo21]

Pau- "This is my time to show Kobe im the fucken man"

[baseline bum]

Would the Dream Team be down 3 here?

[ElNono]

Would the Dream Team be down 3 here?

:lol

[Russo21]

wow another foul, im so surprised

[Venti Quattro]

We're either scared to shoot or we take shit shots if we do.

[Banzai]

Outcome of this game is in doubt tbh

[ElNono]

Pau would have 3 elbows in the face from Malone by now

[Venti Quattro]

Would the Dream Team be down 3 here?

:lmao :lmao :lmao

[Latarian Milton]

US would've been trailing if the refs didn't throw that many bullshit calls for fun tbh, i ain't being america hater tbh just speaking of the truth. honesty is one common element that most americans share, and that most immigrants don't tbh

[gaKNOW!blee]

[Ashy Larry]

[usdane]

Get Pau in foul trouble. Attack him every time.

[jeebus]

Ugh, I fear the time when chuckbrick comes back in
