Oh fukk you ri battet and Dillon brooks
Deport both these fukkers

We need to allow RJ to explore his jamaican basketball roots in the future...

Losing to Brazil is an absolute disgrace

They only lost by 4 points. If Barrett chips in 8 points and Brooks chips in another 8, it’s an easy win. These dudes average 16-17 ppg a game in the NBA but are getting out hustled and outplayed by euro league players. I’d be fukking embarrassed

RJ wasnt about to hustle today 3 separate times he stood and held his position under the basket and allowed a brasilian to grab a rebound where he refused to even move.....

Do not attach me to this embarrasment im not on this team or work for the team,im here they over there....

Nahhhh you outta pocket this how I be when USC lose lmaooo be highly upset

[aceboon]

Are the games for today all over?

yea, with the time difference games are usually done by like 11:00am-12pmEST

 

[Miggs]

RJ Barrett in 4 games so far...

12 PPG on 41/39/30 yes thats right 30 % FT shooting in 4 games...

It hurts me to be defending such a fukkn clown.

If I remember correctly he was locking Giannis up in the last FIBA Cup too

Just was never able to get anything going in the league

I think part of his problem was always that they had this dream of him being a giant wing. Clearly his strengths were his insane length, shot blocking and some athleticism

I think (maybe I'm wrong) he didn't look terrible in Houston. When they were playing him mainly at the 4 and 5

Yeah looking at the numbers Houston was his best spot, they mainly used him as a 5.

the consistent fickleness of Canadians in regards to their teams is comedy

Can't believe DR lost to PR.

Can't believe DR lost to PR.

I'm still bewildered by how our 2nd leading scorer took 8 shots and Antonio Pena took 7.

Had DR won, it wouldn't have clinched anything, but they would have had the comfort of knowing whether they got in before they even played Serbia.

But that wasn't Tremont Waters. That was Steph Curry in a Puerto Rican jersey.
