Couldn't believe some of the looks they were passing out of. They were predetermining the pass when the damn paint was completely cleared out for the lay up/dunk. Finally started to adjust in the 2nd half and that forced Australia to actually defend the rim leading to wide open corner 3s. Against France though, they will need to hit their perimeter shots. Durant was a non-factor in the first match up as he was in foul trouble all game. He always turns it up every game when the team needs it, but I hope from the start he is aggressive and attacking. In Gold Medal games the man damn near always drops 30, going back to the world championships in 2010, 2012 vs Spain and then last Olympics. Jrue/Booker need to make life hell for Fournier/De Colo and hold them in check. France plays big but I don't want to see many Draymond/Bam line ups and instead want to see KD/Tatum along with one of the big line ups. Tatum and KD are damn good defenders and contest well in the paint anyways. If they take care of the ball and don't over pass, US should be just fine. Predicting a 15+ point win. USA 102 France 83 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NYRaider Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 Rudy Gobert: 9 points, 16 rebounds, 4 blocks Luka Doncic: 16 points (5/18 FG) Jrue may be the best defender on the perimeter but Rudy is the best defender on the planet. @beekay414 When will you accept the fact that your boy lacks the clutch gene, is a stat padder, and essentially the Brodie jr? @Bullet Club @Tyronnosaurus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NYRaider Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 I think it is time Luka accepts the nickname the "Broseph" aka the white version of the Brodie. Stat padded his arse to the bronze medal game. Get out the way son before Rudy 360 yams on you. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYRaider Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 Imagine saying a player is 3x better than Don "Spida" Mitchell and he gets bodied by Rudy Gobert. The Broseph is fraud as hell. @Tyronnosaurus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All of that to lose to Rudy Gobert, sounds very Broseph like. Stat padding his way to a chance to win a bronze medal, good job. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
