Boogie at the Olympics

[dude12]

To start the second half, Irving showcases his skills and misses a driving layup, Melo forces a 3 with a defender up on him.....this first unit is not so great to watch.

 

[whoopdeedoo]

Awe, they gave Cousins a steal for that "pass" that ended up smacking off the backboard first. Give him a rebound! MORE REBOUNDS, WE WANT REBOUNDS!

More of this for Team USA in stunning overall gold metal performance at these Olympic games. And so happy that Boogie can add this prized possession to his trophy case.

If they lose, we know who to blame the jinx on.

I hereby declare the outcome jinx-proof.

Gold for Team USA.

I think the answer to that would have been Cousins right?

I know how this works.

Their coach might have had a 40pt play hidden up his sleeve. You never know!

I didn't know that Eric Musselman had Serbian citizenship!

Apparently, all it takes to get naturalized over there is a really kick ass power point presentation, made to the proper immigration authorities.

Sure, he was dominant in the paint today.... But his constant pouty faces were a distraction and brought the team down. Trade him to Australia for Bogut, I say!

Melo very emotional in after game interview. Appreciative of the Gold.

Those were the tears of a man who knows he ain't never gonna win a ring, and this is as good as it's gonna get for him.

Lol....but Derrick Rose, Noah..........goes to look up roster.

 

[Hoovtrain]

Great game by Cousins. US saved their best game for last. That was a clinic

 

[Jimbob]

I was a bit bummed by the Australia Spain result.
Bogut was spot on about the officiating.
Otherwise happy Cuz had a game and got his gold, but would have loved to see Bogdan hit some of those 3s.

After the fact dumb question: Is there no 3-second rule in FIBA?

 

[PurpleHaze]

After the fact dumb question: Is there no 3-second rule in FIBA?

Yes, but different than NBA 3 second rule. Two major differences between the FIBA rule and the NBA rule. In NBA, the three second count applies only when the ball is in bounds in the front court (in FIBA, the count is in effect whenever a team has control of the ball in bounds), and in the NBA, the three second count is suspended if the ball is loose. If that helps explain. During one of the games I recall commentator mentioning "looong 3 seconds and other one said, "this Rio time."

dont know if anyone posted this yet.

I just came post this lol. Saw this on Facebook with Demarcus saying "the future is bright 916."

 

[Kingfanpaul]

Boog-danovic

 

[KingsFanGER]

So Papagiannis is the only rookie or in Bogdanovis case future Kings player without some public support by Cousins? I remember Boogie making the same "the future is bright comments" about Malachi and Skal, but never saw a glimpse of a comment about Papa. But I admit I don't use social medias. So did I miss something?

 

[Entity]

so nobody notices the #916 hastag? is he saying BB is coming this year? camp doesn't camp start in september with is 9-16

 

[ESP47]

916 is Sacramento's area code.

 

[Entity]

yeah well that makes sense also

 

[Bricklayer]

deoverrated cousins has been a complete non factor in the olympics....surprising to no one except his homer fanbase.

Not that PER is a good statistic to really live by, but at least it's good press coming Cousins' way!

[gunks]

Whatevs Brick,

If Team USA wasn't saddled with Cuz, they woulda been a lock for platinum.

 

[IfAt1st]

Brick, with the statistics revealing the opposite, how do you explain the vast majority of people who watch basketball came away from the Olympics with the opinion that Cousins is a defensive liability and an overrated lazy ineffective guy?

It's downright creepy how easily Demarcus is demonized in EVERY group he's in.
He doesn't even have a homer announcer or "reporter" who defends and praises him.
I don't know of one other star in the NBA where that is the case.
