[NBA] there’s certainly some basketball being played
I gotta admit, as soon as I saw USA-France in both games, i got worried. It would just be so sports movie for the French to get at least 1 of them (esp the womens game, as the literal final competition of the Olympics)
wemby has a chance to be one of the best to ever do it. he needs to improve his shooting, and obviously stay healthy, but it'll be fun to watch his career.
FTs are enough of a penalty. maybe have there be a limit but make it really high if you want, but nobody is going to be putting guys on the line on purpose in modern basketball outside of incredibly specific circumstances that are already super controlled.
imagine fouling out an offensive lineman because he held too many times. the yards are the punishment.
I gotta say. I had no opinion on Noah Eagle before this tournament, but i really like him. Great chemistry with Dwyane and Lachina, just enough personality to riff while still being a pbp straight man.

Hard disagree. If you can't defend without fouling you should face a long term consequence in the game and six in the NBA is plenty for anyone that isn't named Karl Anthony-Towns.
the long term consequence is the best shots on the floor. you ain't gonna win if you put the other team on the line a lot, and it removes power from the refs to alter games with 2 quick fouls. i'd even be ok with a double bonus style thing where the team is punished even more harshly for additional fouls over a line. i just don't want guys sent off basically ever.

embiid dropped 70 on wemby last time they played. kerr just prefers AD and bam for his style of basketball.
Well, yeah, you can only play Embiid out of the rotation when AD and Bam are your backup options, and your offense wont center on Embiid anyway.
But don't fool yourself, Wemby was cooking him in those opening minutes.
Lol.
LMAO.
This guy is stupid unfair
Booker playing his fucking ass off, love that

Implementing that Kings playbook
Vivek ready to give him a coaching job
edit: or come out of the timeout and melt down a little bit that works too. lebron ain't having it though.
this is agony. feels like i'm watching a sixers game in the final minutes.
They relaxed when they got it to 13.
