Japanese javelin thrower going wild w that bell is a vibe

/Olympics-related but not Paris/

3wks till (probably) Riga qualifying group decider vs France and I am already nervous. Basketball OG qualifier being held in Riga... did not end well for us.

Hamish Kerr wins the high jump gold.

Watching the discussion to have a jump-off or not it seemed like the American was adamant about not sharing and wanting a jump-off.

Well. He doesn't have to share his silver.

 

[Jack Straw]

Jeebus. That was complete domination.

When you think of breakdancing, think of Canada!

Just when I thought I had a good handle on basketball officiating, FIBA sends it all down the drain. What in THE hell

Edwards yapping at Rudy after hitting that 3 over him .

 

[DancingPanther]

Kerr treating this like little league where everyone gets a game to bat leadoff. Get the dawgs out there what is this?

International game is more physical. They let more things go.

International game is more physical. They let more things go.

Only when they want to, obviously. Which is the point

Like I said

 

[Halladay]

Wow, Lebron got dunked on.

 

[DancingPanther]

And again

 

[DancingPanther]

Yes, a block on LeBron but that was a charge. Lol shit is a coin toss

 

[Halladay]

France desperately needs to develop a point guard. I dont see them getting more than 80 points, their offensive possessions are a struggle.

This goes double for San Antonio. They need someone who can make an entry pass to Wemby. CP3 won't be around much longer.

 

[DancingPanther]

Embiid sets some amazing screens

 

[Halladay]

Joel was terrible in the 1st half but the start of this quarter has been great.

 

[DancingPanther]

3 turnovers in the last 4 possessions will do it

 

[DancingPanther]

Some absolutely braindead shit in that quarter, wow

 

[Halladay]

The last few minutes of that quarter was terrible basketball. Turnovers and bad shots. Jrue should not be shooting a 3 with 20 seconds left on the shot clock.

 

[DancingPanther]

Holliday needs to let go of the rock. Let the big kids handle it lil bro

 

[DancingPanther]

3rd inbound turnover is wild

 

[JojoTheWhale]

Both of these teams look wiped. Really fun game for 3+ Quarters.

 

[Halladay]

This is terrible basketball this quarter.

 

[DancingPanther]

It's a team of Ben Simmonses
