Anyone up for this game?
Magic Splitter shall dominate it :lol
Also, Derrick Rose is probably playing in the United center for the first time in a long time.
Tip off in about 30 minutes, btw.

Splitter should score 10+ in games like this. Marcelo is setting him up but goddamn he's a shell of the player he use to be. He looks old now.
All that said, this has the feels of a glorified pick up game. If Brazil hits some threes, it might turn into a good game.
Splitter with the sick pass to Nene and 1 :tu
hoping for a Rose injury
That's stupidQuote:

He looks much worse now, unfortunately.
In other news, Klay Thompson's goatee is absolutely hideous.
why? fuck him.Quote:

First time splitter is tentative around the rim
Anthony Davis is a beast. Should be a Spur tbh
:lol that Brazil backcourt looks worse than Lakers backcourt :lol
Yup Marcelo is a poor man's version of Nash...before and nowQuote:

Huertas getting his shit stolen holy fuck I knew the crime in Chiraq was bad but it's on display live here
Why do you dislike him so much?Quote:

Keep in mind that this generation only qualified for olympics one time.
Brazil with the amateur move of not attacking Harden... they'll figure it out
Harden still flopping :lol
Is Nene playnig? I missed the start of the game
Harden chucking and flopping....
Yes, he started.Quote:

Wow that A. Davis extension
Brazil is beyond horrible but team USA looks crappy.
7 pt game
lol Harden. Someone tell him these FIBA officials won't fall for his bullshit flopping
Curry-Irving-Harden and Brazil cant cut the lead.
this Team USA has no clear cut leader now, tbh...
Hettsheimeir looks pretty solid. He's too good to play in brazilian's league.
Tiago taking Davis to school :tu
:lol USA
shitty team :lol
Rose out for the season with a cut above his eye?
:lol
Solid move there
Nothing but ISO players that play fundamentally unsound and mediocre defense.Quote:

Some awful stuff.
We are so spoiled getting to watch good basketball from the Spurs.
Splitter is so fortunate getting to go against Duncan in practice.
Splash Bros gonna save USA
haven't seen 1 good non-fast-break team play from USA. simply pathetic
Plumlee is shit.
:D
Coach K original plan was 'give it to KD and move out of the way'... now it's more complicated....
:lmao Playing a fucking zone. Boheim thinks this is that shitty product college ball puts out
If I run USA basketball I would get Budenholzer as head coach.
His style of coaching fits FIBA basketball, imo.
team USA should be worried because brazil is playing like shit and still a close game
A good set offensive play with screens for a layup...
Impossible.
Barbosa is Brazil's cancer.... all ISO shit...
Go team Aussie, Brazil, and France tbh. this US team sucks
Harden just knows how to attack a defender out of position
This game sucks, both teams playing terrible
Now I know why DOK hated him so much lolQuote:

:lol Harden
I despise that guy
Splitter :tu
Splitter :)
Lmao now the world can see what a fraud Harden is. There couldn't be a more annoying player to watch. And this is with me rooting for the team he plays on rn.
Harden not going to get most of those calls in Spain...
If Nba GMs are watching this game, Barbosa should start looking for a job in europe (or even in Brazil) :lol
Harden is horrid. Only chucks and flopsQuote:

Barbosa is just great. When he has to pass, he shoots. When he has to calm the game down, he rushes. When he has to shoot, he passes. When he has to foul, he doesn't. When he doesn't, he fouls. HE IS A CANCER. IMAGINE HAVING TO WATCH 12 YEARS OF BARBOSA IN YOUR NATIONAL TEAM
Unfortunately for Brazil Huertas is having a terrible game. Good news is that Splitter is easily Brazil's best player. Amazing game by Splitter so far.
They really can't, it takes some athleticism in tighter spaces, they don't have any real athletes in their backcourt.Quote:

Have you watched Brazil's previous games?Quote:

Watch Machado come in, and the difference skyrocket to 20+ pts
You just know its gonna happen elemento
he's like 32 now... age caught up to himQuote:

Aside: Harden needs to sit. Bad D, too much dribbling, he is a ball stopper in these disjointed games.
Brazil should hire some american coaches for their U-17 and U-19 teams to teach those fuckers how to play defense and against defense. The brazilian coaches just teach them to chuck trees all day and ignore defense. Some talented kids go play in the soft and bitchy Spanish league. Not a good deal.
Huertas just plays well against euro defense.Quote:
