Suns players and Team USA Basketball in the Olympics

[Ronin]

I was like "oh no" when Durant waved off the screen. Luckily he made it

Team USA took the game from Serbia. The table was set. They could have folded but stepped up big time.

The defense came up huge.

The Gold Medal game is on Saturday with Team USA vs France.

 

[Mainstreet]

Devin Booker and Kevin Durant played the entire 4th quarter.

Awesome game by Stephen Curry.

Bogdan Bogdanovic: “We tried to talk to referees; they didn't try to talk to us, but it's ok. The USA doesn't need that type of help against us. We didn't have that type of help when they were grabbing us with two hands and all that. We played the best we could.”

Go pound sand Bogdan. Y’all choked, missing multiple wide open 3s that could have been daggers to end the game. Blaming the refs after blowing a 17 point while having multiple chances to put the game away is weak sauce.

We were down by double digits most of this game and yet Book was a +16.

 

[Mainstreet]

Bogdan Bogdanovic could have well become a Sun as they drafted him #27 in the 2014 draft.

One could see it in his eyes postgame. He wanted to win this game badly.

Too bad he never suited up for the Suns.

This says it all. It's not about team rivalries but winning for the USA.

Jayson Tatum getting no time in this game.

Which is the correct decision. There is nothing he does that KD or Lebron don't do better.

The right 5 played the 4th quarter. That group played great together.

 

[Mainstreet]

Lebron James in the huddle saying "One more…" plus much more.

I think Wade nailed it too, those open shots are a lot harder to make late in a tight game with that much riding on it. They missed 3-4 wide open looks.

Really happy for Embiid and Curry both were having a tough Olympics and both were huge.

LeBron is just ageless.

Curry and Embiid came back to form at the right time for team USA, while Ant disappointed under pressure.

Book getting some love for being the consummate role player: https://www.cbssports.com/olympics/...ker-was-an-unsung-hero-in-americans-comeback/

Unfortunately my hope for the upcoming NBA season is unchanged regardless of the performance by Book and Durant at the Olympic Games.

Have you talked to your therapist about this?

 

[Superbone]

Oh I’m very optimistic about the upcoming season. My point is, that optimism has nothing to do with Olympic play of either Durant or Booker.

Ah. Better talk to a communication specialist then.

If there was ever a setup for an upset, it is this Gold Medal game. Home team advantages.
