Lol Dominos (AUS vs USA game thread).

[midnightpulp]

:lmao 1-6 against a bunch of white Australians

It's early, but I felt like getting a dig. Hope Team USA wins, though.

Consider this game thread if anyone is watching.

My nigga Bogut carving them murikans up

[BatManu20]

AUS is playing well. USA is playing selfish Iso-ball. Aussies are up by 6 with 2 min remaining in the first half.

[midnightpulp]

Dominos: 2-8, 5 points, with 2 TOs. Complete shit.

[140]

So is the spurms best PG tbh :lol

[Bynumite]

Pre and post Kobe team USA obviously lacks leadership and mental edge imho. Salute to Kobe Bean Bryant a true patriot and leader.

[BatManu20]

Australia up 5 at half. Surprising, but they've looked great in these Olympics so far. I fully expect us take over in the 2nd half though.

[BatManu20]

Patty doing work. 5-7 with 15 pts at half.

[Robz4000]

Mills > Dominos. This can no longer be disputed.

[midnightpulp]

Too bad Patty couldn't have one fuckin' game like this in the playoffs, the only basketball that counts. But I guess he needs the baby 3 point line.

[140]

Delly is a real nigga tbh

[Trainwreck2100]

:lol playing Draymond Green and giving up 60% shooting. This ain't the fucking NBA play a real damn center

Never send a Dominos to a Lebron's job.

This team is filled with chuckers. Not an elite dribble-drive penetrator (Kyrie likes to chuck more these days) in the lot. Bogut would've been in foul trouble already if Westbrook and LeBron were on the team.

[KobeOwnsDuncan]

Im sure Durant will do better than Bronze

[MI21]

Australia doesn't have the depth to beat the US, but yeah, Durant has been disgusting. Any danger of making a play for someone else Kevin?

Only because the rest of the world is in rebuilding mode right now. Durbeta is still a scared pussy.

What station is it on? I have 5 minutes to waste.

[BatManu20]

How many open 3's have we missed? This is ridiculous.

He wouldn't if he had to face a prime Manu in the semis.

[spursistan]

Durbeta as your top Dog :lol

[spursistan]

really think gsw will miss Bogut's basketball grunt work...surprised how healthy he looks in Olympics after that injury.

[Splits]

Melo saving the day

[Robz4000]

:lol Thompson clearly dribbled it out of bounds and the refs ignored it

[Molotov]

:lol Today's NBA.

Wardell is going to influence a generation of shitty American basketball players.

[apalisoc_9]

FIBA melo is an amazing shooter :lol

Easily the best FIBA shooter to ever play the game. :lol

[DMC]

Patty went off on the yanks. Patty should be the starting PG next year but Pop doesn't like a PG who shoots early in the clock, which is why he like Tissot who dribbles the clock out before dumping off for someone else to worry about.

[UZER]

Yes.

Tryna dismiss Olympic basketball again because Jim failed to win outside of NBA refereeing and CIA Pop's system, I see :lol

MJ, Kobe, LeHype, Shaq, Bird, Dream - and several other first ballots all disagree with your take.

They all won in the playoffs and Gold. -10 points son. Act like somebody mid. SMH

[Ghazi]

^ nobody cares about Olympic basketball.

We do. You did too when you started to get your shit pushed in, tbh.

Kobe: 2 Golds
Jim: :lol Golds

Thanks for the reminder :lmao

Nope. Bronze Medal vs 2 Golds is the tie breaker

[midnightpulp]

3 Finals MVPs to 2 is the tie break, since you know, those are actual individual awards :toast

There's no tie-breaker needed for 12, tbh.

Both are white media awards. White media hates Kobe.

[LkrFan]

White media induced rankings. I guarantee you HOF players and coaches don't think there are 11 players better than Kobe. That includes Jim.

Comments made by MJ, Bird, Magic, and other legends made about Kobe. Hell, even comments made by LeHype, Melo, D-Whistle, and other current stars have all made very positive comments about Kobe. Pop, Riles, Phil, and other future HOF coaches have as well. Jerry West and other GMs too.

Comprende?

Not really. When asked about a wildly popular player, ex players tend to be complimentary, they know what the press wants, they know what people want to hear, so they play along.

Bird is a Celtic. Why would he of all people be complimentary of a Laker? Because game recognizes game. That's why.

Accept the fact that Jim didn't rape a white girl - that's the only reason why white media ranked him higher than Kobe. Otherwise, Kobe got him in rangs (6) and Golds (2). Conclusion: Kobe > Jim.

Because he's best buddy with magic.

Duncan is better than Kobe in every single measure. There's no contest.

The 6 rings thing is tiresome, you have to drag in personal life to even have a conversation, and even then Duncan wins. All you can compare are team accomplishments but you avoid missed playoffs and destroyed teams. Look at the numbers, Kobe has always been a 2 or at best a 1b in all championship teams from a statistical perspective.

[LkrFan]

Stop right there. Magic sided with Shaq. There is no reason for Magic to prop up Kobe unless his greatness was undeniable, which it was.

False. Kobe rang 5 times in NBA, 3peated and B2B. Jim did not. Kobe also went Gold twice. Jim, not so much.

Neal with it. Kobe raped. Jim got raped (for $27 million plus a non-disclosed amount to Amy in hush money; probably $50 million :lol). Plus Kobe don't need permission from the state of California for weekend visitation rights like Jim does in Texas. And Kobe is still married (6th rang - which is a personal accomplishment per midnightpulp :toast)

When Jim has to drag the likes of Kwame Brown, Smush Parker, Chris Mihm, Chucky Atkins, Brian Cook and Luke Walton to the playoffs without Pop coaching, holla at me. Otherwise, STFU. :downspin:

Magic has shown over and over again to be a corporate shrill. He sided with Byron Scott as well, was Byron Scott's coaching greatness undeniable?


False. Kobe rang 5 times in NBA, 3peated and B2B. Jim did not. Kobe also went Gold twice. Jim, not so much.

You act like Duncan didn't win twice either. You kept going back to team accomplishments.

MVPau > Garnett then, he rang twice. Chauncey Billups > Stockton too.

Still unsure how this would factor into a players' greatness. Is Magic less great because he contacted HIV? Is Jordan less great for all the underhanded things he did?

Again, Butler and Odom goes mysteriously missing. That is like saying Duncan dragged Mengke Bateer, Devin Brown Antony Goldwire, Gerrard King, and Danny Ferry to a title, and mysteriously left out Robinson, and Stephen Jackson.
