Old Going For Gold: USA Men's Olympic Basketball - Next Up The Main Event vs France (8/10 @ 3:30pm ET)

[stepbackj34spud]

Steve Kerr is a Jackass. Nothing to do with ability of the players he’s randomly sitting each game. Booker played 24 minutes and scored 2 baskets. You been barking at this tree for minute, can’t cope with the fact Tatum matched Paul Pierce’s rings and surpassed his accolades before he hit his prime.

Tatum getting DNPs on the olympic team has nothing to do with Paul Pierce.

JT winning a chip on a stacked team while not winning ec finals mvp & finals mvp isnt surpassing Paul Pierce.

JT plays with 2 other guys that get minutes on the olympic team before him, the finals and ecf mvp and a big man that averages more points than any season KG ever did as a Celtic. Not to mention Al Hortford

You’re a fool if you think Tatum better than Pierce. A 30 year old Paul Pierce would get minutes on this current olympic team.

It does tho. Nggas have no bball IQ and there are no PGs who lead the show

These new nggas are trainer babies. We gon be down 10 and need some good shots and leaderships and dudes gon come down and know nothing but tween tween hesi pull

Dudes got get their Halliburton jokes in but he’s gonna be a huge piece going forward. Morant too. It’s slim pickings for dudes who can lead and run the show

Haliburton is this squads Jaren Jackson, he’s not making the next Olympic team. With the talent they’ll have in their primes in 2028, and guys just entering their prime, they are going to be just fine.

they not coming back 15 down against the dream team tho

JT led the Celtics on every single offensive category, Not gonna get into a back a forth with ya. Being better than someone has nothing to do with getting minutes in the Olympics what kind of logic is that?

Damn near the entire dream team is in the HOF.

You realize Porzingis last season averaged more points than KG ever did as a celtic? Do you not realize that was the most stacked team ever, or are you really dumb?

The media has you fooled.
The best players on the olympic team play, period. Tatum is the only first team player ever to get a dnp. He has two dnps.

Just imagine the think pieces if they lost. What would have been the fatal flaw?

To me it’s something I’ve noticed in the Olympics and in the similar format the all star game: The death of the point guard.







If Lebron isn’t playing they get waxed. He’s the only one with the IQ to get them into their stuff and control play. It’s a problem in the years to come

Fair point. Would need to go with Hali if he wasn’t
