Hongbit Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 3x3 is fun. This game is so different than Ice Cube’s 3x3 league. The Olympic version is way better. Much faster and more emphasis on shooting and defending. Also, this needs to be the last 3x3 for the US without real players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deleterious Posted August 1 Author Share Posted August 1 I give fans a pass for bitching about this since they generally don't know much about the game. But watching Windy complain that Bam isn't the one being benched is hilarious. Yeah, lets bench the best defensive center on earth. The guy who can switch 1-5 no problem. Who would need that? Maybe I'm the fool for thinking journalists should know a little about the game they cover. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deleterious Posted August 1 Author Share Posted August 1 I might put his injury above PG13's when it comes to most gruesome. Mostly because of how you could hear it snap on TV. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deleterious Posted August 2 Author Share Posted August 2 What is up with Jamal Murray? Someone said he is averaging 6ppg and shooting 34% from the field in the Olympics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hongbit Posted August 2 Share Posted August 2 Still having trouble figuring out why our 4 person 3x3 team consists of 35 year old Jimmer Fredette, the 32 year old least known son of Rick Barry, some other 30 year old white gut that never played higher than D2 college, and another 30 year that played at Princeton and currently is a low lever performance coach for the TWolves. We have to be able to do better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have to be able to do better. They would have to change the qualifying rules. In 5v5 you can qualify with one roster and send a totally different roster to the Olympics. In 3v3 you have to play in enough FIBA sanctioned events and earn enough points to qualify for the Olympics. The events overlap with the NBA season. The best we could probably do is a few guys that just retired. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
