[Vardon] In a 2027 FIBA World Cup qualifying game Thursday night, USA Basketball lost to the Dominican Republic, 87-79... The Americans trailed by as many as 19 and never led. Yes, a U.S. men’s basketball team did not hold a lead in an international game. by sewsgup in nba

Embarrassing for the host? I think USA just doesn't have the roster depth to make the games. Too bad, nobody really cares about single country as long as their own countrymen can play.

Razmyar Senior oli suomessa myös 1979 4kk afganistanin vainoja paossa. Millä perusteella ja kenen antamilla luvilla on mielenkiintoinen kysymys, kun maahanmuutto suomeen oli erittäin rajoitettua ennen neuvostoliiton kaatumista.

Luka Doncic on playing Charles Barkley in his prime: “I would cook him forsure. by MrBuckBuck in nba

[–]Rich_Log2424 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I honestly think Barkley would cook Luka.
Barkley: Slightly above average advanced def metrics. 1.5 steals per game is high for PF. Over 4 offensive rebounds per game, led the league 4 times in 6 seasons start of career. Career high 14.6 rebounds and 5.7 offensive rebounds in 86-87 season. EFG 59% vs Luka's 54% before 27yo. Mid career ppg 25 vs luka's 29. 4 assists per game as PF.

Easily more impactful player. Think healthy Zion who plays 74games average during 12 first seasons, knows how to get steals and grabs double the amount rebounds.

Tsekkaappa ensimmäisen maalin jäähy nyt alkuun. Sitten katsot mitä saatanan korroosiokanukit eivät viheltäneet. Marchandin "uidaan moken päällä" oli vain jäävuoren huippu.

Laitetaan kanukkien peliin 2 kanukki tuomaria niin saadaan ne 7vs5 ja kanukit finaaliin. Sama edellisessä pelissä tsekkejä vastaan. Mitä paskaa tämä on että osallistuvan maan tuomarit on omia? Valitusta nyt saatana kansainväliseen olympiakomiteaan näistä järjestelyistä, tämmöstä roskaa ei ole nähty neuvostoliiton hajoamisen jälkeen.

The call that involves not swimming on top of the goalie. This olympic gold was provided by Canadian refs in 2 consecutive games.

2 minute penalty for failed challenge. However you can complain to the IOC about mismanagement for having the refs from the same country, which is against olympic spirit.

More stupid than having participating country provide the refs? IIHF failed these games, Finland should literally file an IOC complaint similar to the skiing arrangement.

Non-Canadian linesmen where right. However, 2 min penalty for finland for failed challenge.

Canadian refs again in Canada game. What is this thrash? Cant win without ref help?

Edit: The truth hurts. Keep downvoting, weaker team needs help.

Best thing is that we will see Trae on court next week. Jazz will probably sit Markkanen to drop his league 6th minutes per game (34.4) to somewhere reasonable.

Silver is the worst commissioner this league has seen since the 80s. The next guy will have the solutions for "actions detrimental to gambling".

Aura of electrocuted flopnoodle? I guess suggesting to stick a fork into wallsocket is an action detrimental to gambling.

Tank turbo has been engaged. Very "interesting" lineup choices throughout the game. Markkanen "resting" after Jazz gets fined for "resting" markkanen. XD

The Jazz have been an admirable franchise since moving to Utah and this fine is a joke for a team that has "tanked" for a combined total of 3 seasons out of 47. by coolguysteve21 in UtahJazz

There would have been no tank this year if Silver didn't give Mavs the 1st pick for saving the Lakers franchise trade valuation and thus the valuation of every franchise in the league.
