Asik is your starting C? Good God.

You know, last year the Rockets wanted a Lee for Asik trade, and the Bulls said no.

Fucking idiots.

 

[BadAss2961]

loving these travel calls. Wish it was like this in the nba

These FIBA refs really do put the NBA to shame.

 

[charsace]

USA perimeter defense is hurting them.

 

[Knux-Future]

Free throws arent free

I just so happen to be staying in the same hotel with the Australian swim team. I couldn't resist the chance to watch them train and prepare for the Olympics, so I asked if it would be ok. They were excited to have me there. I loved the attention to detail they put into their training and the methodical approach they have. I was lucky because on this am Stephanie Rice , 3 time gold medal winner in Beijing and the best women's swimmer in the world was training. I had the chance to see the best in the world prepare and she is FOCUSED. I took pics with the swimmers and they gave me some speedos lol. The Olympics for me is a great chance to learn from the worlds best and figure out what makes them tick all while representing your country. What a great opportunity and honor.

It truly writes itself.

 

[Shadow780]

Our defense is shit.

 

[giga]

How are we only down 2 lol. Feels like 10.

 

[Conflict NZ]

Wow they actually called a reach in against Williams? That must be at least his tenth.

 

[985boi]

Why is the clock still running after a made basket in fiba?

 

[Syphon Filter]

Rubio.

 

[Raging Spaniard]

Because we dont bend over for commercial breaks

 

[rando14]

shameball

 

[K.Jack]

Wtf why does Coach K not have any of the B-level NBA bigs?

Robin Lopez? Hibbert? David Lee?

Comparing these guys to the prospect of having LeBron guarding a Gasol brother, wtf?

 

[Mothman91]

Tyson in with 2 fouls.....he's about to get his third in the next few possessions.

FIBA game. Only Lee has the versatility you'd like, but at 6'9 is he better than LeBron at guarding bigs?

 

[Syphon Filter]

why isnt bosh playing btw?

 

[thekad]

these refs suck

 

[The Frankman]

Tyson in with 2 fouls.....he's about to get his third in the next few possessions.

What he's doing is not a foul in the NBA, but he's not adjusting.

However that last call was BS, that's not a FIBA foul.

why isnt bosh playing btw?

Egg hatched.

Andddddddddddddd Lebron/KD at the 4/5

 

[diehard]

I still think Favors should be there with the huge lack of Bigs

I've been arguing for Josh Smith for a long time. No one wants his defense apparently.

 

[AlphaSnake]

Melo is feasting

 

[The Frankman]

I've been arguing for Josh Smith for a long time. No one wants his defense apparently.

Also the fact he's dumb as bricks.

 

[thekad]

Hey Matrix, check out Asik's defense:

In the future Drummond and Hibbert will play for Jamaica and form the Jamaican twin towers. So shut your bumbaclot about Hibbert playing for the US.

 

[giga]

YNB is on the team. Your argument is invalid.

 

[Iron E Man]

Fucking idiots.

Russ Bengtson ‏@russbengtson
The Bulls offseason: They basically did the Dwight Howard deal without getting Dwight Howard

basically sums it up.

 

[The Frankman]

YNB is on the team. Your argument is invalid.

And you want them to be dumber?

DAT CARMELO D.

 

[giga]

And you want them to be dumber?

DAT CARMELO D.

If it means we get some D in the post, yeah.

 

[K.Jack]

......but at 6'9 is he better than LeBron at guarding bigs?

I can be damn sure of which one of them won't ever complain about having to do so.

Plus you'd free up Bron to roam the passing lanes more.

 

[The Frankman]

In fairness Bosh should be here, he pussied out.
Dwight is hurt.
A lot a good bigs-WF THAT'S A TRAVEL?

 

[charsace]

And you want them to be dumber?

DAT CARMELO D.

People hate Carmelo beyond reason. Carmelo was a 25 and 9 player at the 4 when Amare was out and he played good man to man defense in the post.

 

[Knux-Future]

Melo beastin

 

[Mothman91]

Melo on FIYAHHHHHH.

 

[rando14]

Carmelo unleashing

 

[The Frankman]

Jesus CHRIST Carmelo.

His game a perfect for FIBA ball.

 

[Grover Cleveland]

Carmelo's EN FUEGO

 

[giga]

Two steps is not a travel.

 

[thekad]

smh

 

[The Frankman]

Two steps is not a travel.

Russian Refs.

 

[charsace]

Jesus CHRIST Carmelo.

I've said it once and I'll say it again, the best 3's in the league are also the best offensive 4's.

 

[santi_yo]

Two steps is not a travel.

Two?

 

[HenryHSH]

Carmelo and the fountain are both wet? ROFL

 

[giga]

Two?

Yeah that was a pitch perfect euro step.

 

[diehard]

Why does Lebron go for layups on the break like that?

Needs to dunk over someone, poster-like.

Intimidation would be worth more than 2 points.

 

[The Frankman]

Carmelo and the fountain are both wet? ROFL

...

I didn't even want to say anything. That was literally Ernie Johnson 1996-bad.

 

[Colonel Nasty]

Morey just reminded me Josh Harrelsons twitter handle is @BigJorts55

 

[linsivvi]

Too bad Knicks fans won't be seeing Melo beasting like this in the games that count.

 

[Mothman91]

Carmelo and the fountain are both wet? ROFL

Yeah...I was like wtf??

 

[diehard]

Too bad Knicks fans won't be seeing Melo beasting like this in the games that count.

He doesnt get gimmies like this in games that count
