Something else that I think that was absolutely crucial to the downfall of the North American teams was just not being familiar enough with the rules of FIBA Basketball and getting smoked by teams that knew those rules like the back of their hand. Serbia had us (Canada) in deep foul trouble before the 2nd half even started (of which only like one wasn't a great call) because they knew exactly how to do so and it worked well enough to have Shai-Gilgeous too frustrated to ever start going on a substantial run. I have Bogdanovich PTSD now.

Also I know I'm biased due to allegations that he's my alter ego but The amount of slander for Austin Reaves from people barely keeping up with or not at all keeping up with the tournament is absolutely insane to me. Like, here's some sample numbers of the first 2 games for Team USA (important distinction because Haliburton, Brunson, and Bridges both go way up later). Look at how hard he dragged down the team with more assists than everyone else by far, more steals than everyone else, and the same amount of PPG as Anthony Edwards in about 4 minutes less time. Look at the amount of way more notable names than Austin Reaves that were having a much worse time both here and throughout the tournament. And here's the more recent numbers where oh shit he's still in the top 3
And beyond ALL THAT, Austin Reaves was literally the prime reason that USA still had a legitimate chance to beat Germany during the final seconds of the game. Without those 21 points off of the bench and clutch free throws, there's no reality where Dennis Schroder has to yeet the ball in to the sky to secure a 2 point win. Stop disrespecting real life Air Bud like this. Defensive rebounds are hard for dogs.

Picked up NBA 2K24 for the Series S last night and man it's amazing but nearly 200GB is FN RIDICULOUS. Are there still textures from the Dreamcast in this or what? Why is the compression so horrible? I have 2K22 for 15 bucks and downloaded an updated roster. Although, it randomly decides to rename any created rookies. Like Victor Webanyama will turn into Victor Allen or something for no reason.

The new proplay motion capture style is fn amazing and an absolute game changer on next gen just crazy how big it is. This game has never been as fluid and realistic as it is now but still it's 2K so crap servers and other random issues that the last games didn't have.

JJJ rushing in during the last half of USA vs Germany and fouling the shit out of Dennis Schroder with 23 seconds left physically hurt to watch. Oh my god.

So Dillon Brooks dropped 39 points on Team USA to become our new Prime Minister

NBA is set to vote on a new rule today that would prohibit a team from resting more than one star player who's able to play. You cannot dare manage these loads.

I don't know what it says about the state of NYC sports when I'm most optimistic about the Knicks.

Rockets continue to be a dumpster fire even in the off season.

The load management rules have officially been approved and they seem to have *a lot* to do with what The Mavs and The Wizards both pulled at the end of the regular season this year

Good. This load management stuff is detrimental to the product and doesn't seem to actually make much if any difference in sustaining players' health.

Anyone else playing next gen 2K24? I am on a Series S and am having some really odd filter line issues during 5 on 5 matches. Blurring people and textures but when you pause the game they go away or on replays. It's a bit strange. The new ProPlay system is crazy at how realistic these movements are now.

Could be a motion blur I have a PS5 and turned it all the way to 0
