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

So you didn’t expect the Celtics to win even tho they were the better team, better record for the entire season?

I've seen teams with championship pedigree win over young teams before. This year I was confident the Celts were ready because of how they obliterated the entire league all year. My only question was health.

He isnt better than the 4 wings playing in front of him. And Jrue and White are specialists. Im rolling with Kerr.

Kerr has successfully hoodwinked y’all into believing he has no choice but to play a 10-man rotation featuring 5 guards and 3 centers, god bless

Basically everyone on that 2nd unit besides KD was horrible last night, the idea that the gap between them and Tatum is so big that you can’t even give him a chance is definitely an interesting stance

Just because you have more talent does mean you are going to blow out every opponent, thats a silly argument. Last regular season the Celtics beat Detroit in OT by 6 points, these were far and away the best and worse teams in the league and at that point Detroit was 2-28. Anybody can compete on any given night.

I ALWAYS KNEW THIS
WOULD BE A DANGEROUS GM
SIMPLY DUE TO THE FACT WE
PLAYED THEM 3 TIMES IN SUCH
A SHORT PERIOD.

EVEN THE HEAT TOOK ONE
FROM THE CELTICS WITH NO JIMMY

Tatum isn't better than Ant? Since when? Ant might end up being a better player but he isn't currently... Tatum is 3x First Team All-NBA... some y'all don't watch bball and it's showing

It’s just interesting how all of a sudden Derrick White is more valuable than Tatum but when Celtic fans wanted to him to be an all-star they laughed at it

This unfortunately as old as Joe Louis. He lost to Max Schmeling in their first matchup in the 1930s. Schmeling was German, had backing of Adolf fukking Hilter of all people and alof of CACs in America were shamelessly were rooting for Schmeling to beat Joe Louis, even though Joe Louis was an American

Joe Louis eventually avenged that loss, but some things will NEVER change

Boxing fans are the absolute worst with this. You'd swear most of them are from sundown towns

Not just CAC Boxing Fans, it's all of them. Whether it's 1924 or 2024, from the East coast or West coast, old or young, from Football or Basketball, Republican or Democrat, etc etc

Every last one of these CACs that inhabit the earth is racist, and it will always be that way

That sequence of Curry and Bron taking turns scoring, then KD with the iso with Melo visibly cheering his ass off in the lower left corner.

Niqqas really bringing in “NBA baggage” when the presence of US flag is supposed to erase all that shyt. fukk all that.



all of that shyt started with the negative coverage coming into the 2004 games. I will never forget some sport announcer, outright rooting for the US to lose and talking about Allen Iverson’s durag and mentioning gold teeth. It was the most racist shyt I heard and much of that shyt was triggered by the dumbass dress code stern enforced

I wonder if these racist people cheered against the men’s usa basketball team in the 1992, 1996 and 2000 Olympics.

Kerr’s is using 4 wings in his rotation. Jayson Tatum is the odd man out. He isnt better than the other 4, except for maybe Book. Book is a much better jump shooter tho.

Who is this oatmeal face goof?

A racist piece of shyt. He owns barstool sports.

 

[GreatestLaker]

Tatum is 3x All-NBA because he was considered a top 2 forward for two seasons and a top 5 player for another. Whether or not he would’ve made it in 2004 is not apart of the voting criteria

Tatum at no point in his career was ever a top 5 player. Quit with the bullshyt.
