Five-ring circus: The Thread of the XXXIII Olympiad

Jesus, Mary and Joseph, Steph.

 

Can't leave it close enough for the refs to fuck ya.

 

Yeah, the U.S. might win a basketball gold one of these days if the refs (and others) would stop fucking them.

 

They succeeded in knocking about a dozen off the margin.

 

At least the US can win without the ref’s help

 

So, my crush on Durant still remains. In the last few minutes of the game, he gets a block shot. He gets a rebound. He gets fouled. He drains two from the free-throw line and he’s smart enough to get the ball to curry on those three possessions down the court. And you don’t have to sub for him defensively.

 

The USA clings a fingernail on world basketball dominance and they earned it in these Games. They better hold it in 2028 in the Southland.

In Brisbane 2032, who knows?

 

Steph was unreal and AD is so freaking good. The refs let so much go by the French defenders, it was comical.

 

Wembanyama will be a god walking the earth in 28. If he's got a couple other NBA All-Star caliber teammates (ie, Gobert level) he'll be tough to beat.

 

I saw a tweet which said that if Mike Breen called the game, not only would Steph's last 3 been the first triple bang, it might have been the first quadruple bang

 

Wemby was great. Curry was legendary.

I felt so good for him, because he's made it clear that this would be a crowning moment in his career.

That last three, you could only laugh.

 

Gonna be honest, it was really refreshing to watch nba players and not hear Breen or Doris Burke.

Is there anyone besides Doris' family who would choose her over D Wade?
