2024 Paris Olympics

[MuggsyB]

Zach Lowe has team USA's chances of winning men's basketball at the Olympics at 51%.  Lol.  It's like 95%.  Their biggest challengers are teams like Canada whose 3rd best player is...Lou Dort?  Dillon Brooks?  RJ Barrett?  Or France whose third best player is...Fournier, Batum, Coulibaly, Yabusele, and Ntilikina are the only other NBA players.  Or Serbia whose 3rd best player is Poku?

Team USA's worst players are Tyrese Haliburton, Bam, and Derrick White.  Like come on.  The only way Team USA doesn't win is if everyone gets Covid and has symptoms.

51%?????  Oh......okay.  What an assclown.

The U.S. has lost to far worse teams than some of the squads they'll face in Paris. I mean, they lost to Puerto Rico AND Lithuania AND Argentina in 2004. No COVID necessary, either.
And they lost to a less-talented French squad than the current group in 2020.

Vegas puts the U.S. at -400, which is 80% probability.
Seems about right.

They should win every game by 20+ and that's a conservative number.

Oh God. Muggs is going to get all freaked out about another thing.

[Pakuni]

They should win every game by 20+ and that's a conservative number.

They've played 14 games in the last two Olympics. They've won by 20+ six times.
But by all means, go lay -20.5 on every game. Let us know how you do.

[Uncle Rico]

I have the Americans winning at 69%

[MuggsyB]

Oh God. Muggs is going to get all freaked out about another thing.

Fluffy,

Tatum and Anthony Davis are coming off the bench.  Look at their fking roster.  They should throttle every team and it's not remotely debatable.  And I'm not freaked out at all.  The  clown who said 51% is either a liar or an imbecile.

I prefer the mystery of it all, but in time, anyone can be a saint

Doubting.

I don't have the right temperament for gambling and believe it's a terrible addiction that we're making far worse collectively.

It's a sin.  Any scooper gambling better be going to confession.

We're doing a terrible job of creating degenerate gamblers.  Notwithstanding some of the experts here.

Only beat Canada by 14.   Push the panic button.

Kerr has lost the locker room. There's still time to pull the plug and switch to Thibs for some hustle culture

Give the job to Scott Drew.  He's proven to win at all costs

[MuggsyB]

I will admit there are bigger issues than Team USA.  Regardless, we should eviscerate every opponent. 

[tower912]

Surprised by the lack of a Karim Mane sighting.

Feels like they need someone who just gets it done. Call in Gard.

What's it matter anyways? A team of animals would destroy them. I mean try scoring over a starting line up of an Eagle (PG), Cheetah (SG), Rhino (SF), Elephant (PF), Giraffe (C).

No one is scoring on the Cheetah, Rhino, Elephant and Giraffe. The Rhino, Elephant and Giraffe are just going to fill the entire area inside the arc. The Giraffe will block anything in sight, and the cheetah will chase down any shooters on the perimeter.

On offense, the Eagle can go the length of the floor without even taking a dribble. And score from 10-15 ft above the rim. Not to mention the Eagle's unprecedented ability as a PG to block shots from anywhere.

No one would stand a chance.
