29. "Is Canada at risk of not qualifying for an Olympic basketball berth?"
In response to In response to 23

  

          

I confess I don't exactly know how it works, but I know they haven't played in the Olympics since, what, 2000? Something like that?

Murray and Barrett are obviously hurt, but I'm pretty surprised guys like SGA, Nickeil Alexander-Walker, Dillon Brooks, Brandon Clarke... didn't Chris Boucher leave too? They should be in position to easily be the deepest non-America team, but now they're reliant on guys like Khem Birch and Kevin Pangos. If they're attempting to qualify for the Olympics, you'd think more guys would compete, especially in a year where the American team will be relatively weak.

Over the last two years, Melo dropped very hard.

Aug 09th 2019
16
Never heard of it and I'm happy right here
Aug 09th 2019

Aug 10th 2019
33
He’s worse than that actually... lol
Aug 13th 2019
48
There’s been rumblings for weeks that the Warriors might sign him
Aug 08th 2019
7
Fam. It’s CARMELO.
Aug 08th 2019
11
There’s no way that last stat is true
Aug 08th 2019
12
      You're right, lol. The point still stands, but I did fuck that up.
Aug 08th 2019
14
but he is a ball stopper and also a defensive liability
Aug 09th 2019
24
Why would they take him even on a B or a C team?
Aug 08th 2019
10
Yup. And still best Latino to ever pick up a basektball. : - )
Aug 08th 2019
13
uh counting guys who played freshmen ball doesn't help your argument
Aug 09th 2019
22
      Bwhahah you maddd??? Carmelo CHANGED the one-and-done convo
Aug 10th 2019
25
           This is undeniably, indisputably true.
Aug 10th 2019
26
           Sean Miller - with 2 other trips to the championship game
Aug 10th 2019
27
                Okay, fine. Without Melo, he's Thad Matta with a zone.
Aug 10th 2019
28
                     It got him over the hump, no doubt
Aug 10th 2019
30
                     LMAO! Huh? That's now how sports works, bro
Aug 11th 2019
35
                          Boeheim is the best coach Carmelo played for
Aug 11th 2019
36
                               And Mr. Great Coach ain't win shit without Melo. Funny, aint it?
Aug 11th 2019
37
                                    the hall of fame coach won with the hall of fame player
Aug 12th 2019
47
                                         It's a fairly basic science experiment
Aug 13th 2019
51
                     Thad Matta was a better coach than Sean Miller.
Aug 13th 2019
52
                          Well yeah. That's why I mentioned them in that order.
Aug 14th 2019
60
                               I replied in the wrong place the hiatus got me rusty
Aug 18th 2019
67
           very shortly after him they all HAD to do it.
Aug 10th 2019
32
                LOL!!! UK '12 had #1 + #2 overall picks, 4-1st ROUNDERS!!! LMAO
Aug 11th 2019
34
                     LMAO you do realize 2003 was recent enough that we saw it, right?
Aug 11th 2019
40
                          MELO IS MOST ICONIC NCAA FRESHMAN EVER!! LMAOO!!!
Aug 12th 2019
46
                               Iconic. Paradigm. Aren't these just words for people who want to
Aug 14th 2019
54
                                    Maybe! But they are true when applied to Carmel-egend
Aug 14th 2019
59
I don't like it. He should definitely be on a NBA team.
Aug 08th 2019
15
its time to sign that 1 day w/ Denver/NYK and retire.
Aug 09th 2019

Guaranteed to get bounced by Serbia now..
Aug 09th 2019

Aug 09th 2019
23
      Yes, 2000 was the last time they qualified. Weird, right?
Aug 10th 2019
31
           They could realistically field the second best team on Earth.
Aug 11th 2019
38
                They have a good coach, too (Nurse) and they just lost to Nigeria
Aug 11th 2019
41
                     Didn't they just lose Olynyk too?
Aug 11th 2019
42
Yea, they look like some shit. Scrimmage or not.
Aug 15th 2019
62
If he's willing to accept a lesser role, he should be on a team
Aug 11th 2019
39
I think Melo
Aug 12th 2019
43
How is that political?
Aug 13th 2019
49
It’s baffling how many people have told me this.
Aug 13th 2019
50
Less cabal, more groupthink
Aug 14th 2019
53
      There is just no fit for him, basically
Aug 14th 2019
57
      thats not groupthink Erykah
Aug 15th 2019
63
The last part is the cherry on top
Aug 14th 2019
58
      Breh it's not that deep. He ain't Kap. Watch him play. He's not good.
Aug 25th 2019

Worse league exit: Melo or Iverson?
Aug 12th 2019
44
so far Melo because he hasnt actually gotten an exit.
Aug 12th 2019
45
Same basic thing, refusal to adapt, indifference from the league

Aug 21st 2019
70
Is Melo signing with Brooklyn?
Aug 17th 2019
64
Those jab steps looking extra crisp in his workout videos. Sign him
Aug 17th 2019
65
I hope this is true.
Aug 17th 2019
66
      The Boards will be unbearable if this happens
Aug 21st 2019

Royce White says what I and anyone with eyes and ears
Aug 21st 2019
68
I mean..
Aug 21st 2019
69
Sit down Royce, that ain’t helping
Aug 21st 2019
72
Perhaps the league knows something Royce doesn’t.
Aug 22nd 2019
73
      That his too Black and skilled
Aug 22nd 2019
74
           I see you stopped watching basketball 3 years ago
Aug 22nd 2019
75
                Stop
Aug 23rd 2019
76
                     Which league?
Aug 24th 2019
77
                     Well he plays no D and can't hit the 3, so at least you're consistent
Aug 25th 2019
79
                          Hit 169 3’s in OKC, so that’s a little strong
Aug 25th 2019
80
                               On 474 attempts. He was that year, at best, an okay 3-point shooter.
Aug 26th 2019
81
                                    Um. That's the same % as Brad Beal and Kevin Durant. LOL
Aug 26th 2019
82
                                         League average 3-point percentage was 36.2% that season.
Aug 26th 2019
83
                                              also he wasn't consistent, didn't have a good % on open looks from 2 or ...
Aug 26th 2019
84
                                              What do the kids say? "And I....ooop..."
Aug 26th 2019
85
                                              Bro. He shot the same as Brad Beal and Kevin Durant. Lol.
Aug 26th 2019
86
                                                   lmao you didn’t read, Trump.
Aug 27th 2019
87
                                                   I did read. I saw silly, sad plea cops
Aug 27th 2019
88
                                                   *rubs temples*
Aug 27th 2019
89
                                                        Bro... you’re believing the narrative
Aug 27th 2019
90
                                                        My man openly tried to tell me 35% don't = 35 %...LOL
Aug 27th 2019
95
                                                        Bro. MELO SHOT SAME AS BEAL AND DURANT. No Pleas & Rice.
Aug 27th 2019
91
                                                             Alright, I guess I'm done in this post.
Aug 27th 2019
92
                                                             Im honestly surprised people are typing that much to OE in 2019
Aug 27th 2019
93
