2559315, Cool, so Carmelo is now unquestionably the best FIBA player ever.
Posted by Orbit_Established, Wed Aug-10-16 06:50 PM
He just saved the USA.

He's a great American and Black man and Latino.

He's one of the great American athletes ever on a global
stage.


Either you're with Carmelo, or you're with ISIS.

"He's a great player, the leader on this team, and when we have a leader like that that's going to leave it all on the floor, no matter what possession is going on throughout the game. He just stayed resilient," USA teammate Kyrie Irving said of Anthony after the game. "He's our rock. He's gonna hold us down, and I expect him to do that."

2559381, I'm curious how Coach K is using these guys.
Posted by Numba_33, Thu Aug-11-16 08:43 AM
Mainly I'm curious if Coach K allows the players to operate off the wing or if he's rigid in his offensive sets.

On paper based on what I've seen from Durant in the NBA, dude should flourish. I'm not a huge fan, but I have to imagine he'll have a breakout game in Rio eventually.
2559409, K uses wings in college better than nearly any other coach.
Posted by Frank Longo, Thu Aug-11-16 11:22 AM
And from what I've seen, his offense is far from rigid in these games.

Aussies got hot, USA hadn't played a team remotely as good as them yet, they got caught pants down. They've had a close game in every Coach K year-- I wouldn't read too much into it, they always bounce back.

Posted by Numba_33, Thu Aug-11-16 11:49 AM
>And from what I've seen, his offense is far from rigid in

You know better than me, but I thought it might be the case were Durant wasn't being utilized properly by Coach K somehow as to why he isn't dominating as expected given how well he looks in the NBA.

Perhaps he'll bounce back in future games.
2559420, he just missed a whole bunch of shots and got blocked stripped

(C)Keith Murray, "
2559412, I agree.
Posted by Numba_33, Thu Aug-11-16 11:40 AM
I'm curious why Durant isn't feasting since he has the same skill set that makes Carmelo such a beast in the Olympics with the outside shooting. And he has better handles than Carmelo in terms of penetrating to the basket, especially if the other team has a small forward or power forward guarding him. Perhaps this close Aussie game will make the rest of the team humble and hungrier and they'll respond.

Outside of wanting to see the Jamaican track team feast, I've ignored the Olympics so far this year. Looks like I'll have to watch the upcoming games to see what's going on with the US squad.
2559417, Durant is leading the team in scoring at 18.3 PPG
Posted by DJR, Thu Aug-11-16 11:55 AM
Melo is averaging 18 PPG.

Durant played well in the first two blowouts. He was bad in game 3.

Posted by DJR, Thu Aug-11-16 01:23 PM
The going was tough and he was bad. No way around that.

I'm just clarifying because he said he hadn't watched any of the games and was seemingly under the impression that Durant has struggled all along, wondering if it's K's offense, etc.

In the first two games KD scored a lot and had a really easy time doing it. Nothing fundamentally wrong with the offense or how he fits in it. He just shot bad and played bad yesterday.

Stellar offensive game. Growing more into a leadership role off the court, which is more important than medals or balls shot through hoops in MSG or Rio, but that's a whole other post to itself.



Am I with the terrorists for selfishly wishing he had better moments while playing for the Knicks? Good for him having fun and breaking records and such in Rio, but I want results with him wearing that orange and blue.

This is the same logic people use to shit on Vince Young's college career.

Two different categories. Orbit's subject wasn't even that trolly, he specified FIBA. Melo's AT LEAST going to be top 3 with a gold this year and it's not even close. People of a certain age are never going to see past Sabonis's greatness in '88, but Melo's going to retire with 3 Golds to Sabonis 1 (though that Bronze he won in '92 with Lithuania is low key an incredible accomplishment.)

Klay has been trash in 4 games, great in one.

Draymond Green doubled the ball 40 feet from the basket with 5 seconds left and left Serbia's best shooter wide open on the wing for a potentially tying 3.

Durant has been getting muscled. Lowry's D hasn't even been good either. Whole team is out of sync defensively. Stop being lazy and blaming certain guys based on their reps.

If you'd like to make a coherent argument on the merits of what i actually said, and why the parallels that i pointed out are not legit, then i'll listen with an open mind.. but to plea cop- really cop out- of using the pseudo-intellectual cracka catch phrase of the day.. and following it up with "Real Black men..." is laughable AT BEST.

LOL broad brush stroking catch phrases are NOT facts lil homie.

i did, with these *facts* u reposted below. lemme know when u wanna argue the validity of what i stated right here in these next lines:

>>stay patriotic my nigga. salute that flag that we were
>legally
>>hung, raped, castrated and robbed under. be a respectable
>>negroe and pay homage.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
there it is, in all it's simplicity and correlation with the (much shorter lived) suffering and dehumanizing of the German Jews.


>Nah, like Carmelo, I'll help actual blacks and latinos do

>kids to school. He's building youth centers, giving kids
>alternatives, helping them live in a complex world.

YOUTH CENTERS? NIGGA GROW THE FUCK UP! u know how many decades black celebs been going back to the hood building youth centers??? continuing to do the things that have failed us for the last 50 years is just flat out retarded. we need to BUILD AN ECONOMY- and the money is there to do it. we got mo niggas with college degrees than ever and we still DON'T PRODUCE ANYTHING!, you nincom-fuckin-poop. instead of putting $50 million to send kids to college, only to graduate and have to beg yt for jobs is the typa shit that keeps them patting us on the head and laughing at us behind closed doors. that $50 mil could be put directly in the hood by buying up gas stations, corner stores, grocery stores, liquor stores, beauty supply stores, etc. that would create jobs for black people and teach them how to operate BUSINESSES. If Melo, Bron, CP3, KD, Boogie got together and recruited other black athletes, celebs, and business leaders to pool their resources, we could actually take over the black hair-care industry (among other things), build factories, start trucking companies, and literally BUILD A BLACK ECONOMY.

it's not rocket science, and if u actually studied reknown
