Boogie at the Olympics

[Siranthony]

Really hard to watch team USA wipe the floor with other teams so easily. Really not much point to it. I'd rather have some college kids be the underdogs.

Interesting... I can't say as though that's the first time I've heard that particular sentiment but, usually, I only hear it expressed by #IHateTheNBA guy, not by actual NBA fans.

Hmmm...

+ Boogie responding by fouling out in 9 minutes

Hahaha

Something tells me Cuz isn't gonna be plotting any secret "Superfriends" alliances while he's in Rio.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

It's safe to say that he won't be plotting with Draymond Green, at any rate.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Cousins was at the pool tonight, with other members of Team USA, cheering on the swimmers.

It's much harder to watch team USA lose with the college kids -- as they did in '88 and other years. All the other countries are playing their pros and best players, there's no reason we shouldn't do the same. Let them catch up.

She’s got some footwork, but I’m top dog,” Cousins said. “I told her she’s the third-best post player here behind me and DJ (DeAndre Jordan). She’s a little mad about that.”

Oh come on Boogie, give her more credit than that. She's probably a better actual post player than DeAndre "Pick and Lob" Jordan.

 

[whoopdeedoo]

Boogie with two fouls early again. The combination of quick whistles and what seems to be a focus on bodying up guys on defense isn't working in Boogies favor. They don't like big men bang much.

 

[KingsFanSince85]

HMM. Team USA trailed Australia by 5 at the half and only won by 10. At one point, Australia had 5 NBA'ers on the floor at the same time and don't even have Ben Simmons participating.
Why anybody would still want a collegiate roster is beyond me.

 

[CyKings]

Cousins with a sweet spin move and dunk

 

[dude12]

The refs in international ball sure like that travel call.....very different

 

[CyKings]

Vivek sighting

 

[PurpleHaze]

Wonder who that attractive obviously tall brunette sitting next to Vivek is? Good 6-8" rising above shorty.

 

[Bricklayer]

All the Team USA centers melting down against the refs...except for Boogie.

 

[CyKings]

funny exchange between Bogdan and Boogie

 

[whoopdeedoo]

Cousins and his future teammate getting into it a bit

 

[whoopdeedoo]

funny exchange between Bogdan and Boogie

The replay showed it looked fairly innocuous, all the whistles made it feel very aggressive live time.

 

[CyKings]

this would be more interesting if Vlade suited up

 

[PurpleHaze]

Vlade at the arena "scouting" very close to Serbia bench.

 

[whoopdeedoo]

Boogie best player on the floor tonight. Only one that's making others better.

 

[Bricklayer]

gee, can't imagine how Raduljica could have been in foul trouble.

also, USA's backside defense on bigs has been awful. Whenever Boogie steps out everybody else is playing like a superstar prima donna.

I'm on a few other sites now and most are blaming Boogie for it. What I see is KD being EXTREMELY lazy and not doing anything when his guy beats him and the team switches.

 

[Bricklayer]

Cuz might also be the PG in this game. Lack of a real PG is being felt.

 

[dude12]

Lots of foul trouble for bigs on both sides

 

[dude12]

Is Durant going to show tonight?

 

[Bricklayer]

Cousins 4 assists

Irving 0 assists

illustrates the problem

 

[whoopdeedoo]

Irving is an odd fit for Team USA in my eyes. When you have so much scoring from other positions I don't see him being one of the top options.

 

[whoopdeedoo]

Durant has been atrocious on defense.
