I mean, where are you even looking?🤷...honestly, I'd take the Germans any day... at least we'll actually get to watch some decent NBA ball... I am just so done with watching these total bush leagues go out there and get slaughtered for sixty minutes straight... ugh...
I can't believe I'm even typing this... honestly, my blood is boiling just thinking about it. You see what's happening out there? It's absolute madness. Everything is falling apart and nobody seems to care! Just total chaos... like, seriously, how did we get here? It’s like everyone’s just sleepwalking through life while the whole damn system goes up in flames. I'm sitting here, trying to make sense of it all, and I just... ugh. It's unbelievable. Pure insanity... kaže: Nick, Nick, Nick... seriously? 🙏🙂
LOL, you guys hear that?!... Hahaha!😁...and then there was that whole mess with the chanting... what was it, "Do you believe in life after death" or whatever those crazies were screaming... ugh, honestly...😂🤣Man, our guys are freaking clairvoyant... I’m calling it right now, we’re gonna take down the Germans in the finals!🤣
btw while everyone’s losing their minds right now... does anyone actually know about some coach who got into a massive blowout with his staff on the sidelines back in France?😂🤣
come on, sis, you're seriously driving everyone here absolutely insane... just go find a new job for the German coach or something. stop trying to stir the pot and push people to fire him
And why are you even surprised? They’d find something to trash talk about any world-class coach we ever put in charge... but honestly, the biggest fans of this national team are just gonna be high school kids tomorrow... if we pull off a win, there's no way they're showing up to class on Monday... at least that's how it used to work back in my day when we had big celebrations after a victory🤣
just imagine some of our "expert" forum gurus bumping into Bengt Johansson while he’s strolling along the coast this summer... man, that conversation would go something like this... hey buddy, look, everything you say is fine and dandy, but you just don't get it, you know? how on earth could you blow three Olympic finals like that? i mean, with the lineup we had, I would've walked away with at least two of those gold medals... and if you actually gave the coach a chance to chime in, like letting someone like Olsson or Wislander have a word... nah, no way... in that setup, you're the only one allowed to open your mouth... they'd probably think I was some kind of deity if I were actually the coach😁
Hold up a second... I’m pretty sure we had the thinnest roster I can ever remember back when we played Tunis... and this was a semifinal, which is huge. How can anyone say a semifinal isn't important? Like, seriously? If you recall, earlier in the second round, we were playing for our lives against the Mexicans just to stay in the running... and then we ran into those same Spaniards from the group stage. They had way more depth on their bench than we did back then, and that’s exactly what ended up making all the difference in the end...
yeah and what😳..they played such a world-class game that they totally burned themselves out before the finals against those Spaniards who just absolutely tore us apart..i wouldn't be surprised if France played even worse than they did back then..

😉
Alright, fine... I respect your take, really, but I think you're dead wrong here😁... Not that I'm trying to act all superior or anything, no need for that🤣... rapidbison42, come on, let us folks from the suburbs get some perks too since that's how they raised us... maybe two gold medals and some silver, at least enough silver to cover a trip to Vegas👍
Look, I can't stand Lino... his ego is freaking massive, honestly, and he clearly hasn't got any actual authority. And we've got players so good we should've been stacking gold at every single tournament over the last five years.
Oh yeah, sure... as if! Like, maybe it helps that Balic and Metlicic got wrecked against Canada during the Euro championship... and we didn't have anyone to step up for Peru in Tunisia... wait, actually we did, Denis Buntic🙄... but with such a paper-thin bench in other championships and this insane schedule? You'd be winning gold every time too. Of course, nobody else plays NBA and we're just the absolute kings of the universe, right?🤣
granitefox16 said:Look, I mean, does anyone actually get it? Like, seriously, do you guys realize that just because we’re all riding high on these results doesn't mean everything is suddenly perfect... it doesn't mean things are actually okay...🤷
So, like... what exactly is the problem here? What part of this isn't working for you? Seriously...🤷Man, every single time he steps up, he drops absolute gems... and I'm not just talking about this one game. It’s like he’s got a playbook for life or something. He always ends things with that one line—you know the one—"Let's go guys, stay tough!" Every coach on the planet says stuff like that, but honestly? You guys managed to make it sound like it actually meant something... unlike everyone else...🤣Come on... seriously? You know damn well that's not how it works...
rapidbison42 said:Man, I'm actually tearing up here.
Sorry, but I gotta say it... Narcisse really did it, didn't he?😁...Taking a win against France like this after all those insults we took... I don't even know... I honestly thought they were gonna steamroll us right after that fast break by Ivan Ćupić... No clue why I felt that way... but man, how everyone stepped up...
rapidbison42 said:I honestly don't get how you can't see that... and yet you still act like some kind of big-shot NBA expert. Seriously... .

Wait, where on earth did you even read that...?? Seriously, what's the source here? I'm lost...🤣😉I didn't even say that... I just really love the NBA, okay? Anyway, about those attacks... look, I see what's going on, but it’s not like it's all just because of the line... it's the defense from other teams, our guys being totally out of shape, and we're seriously lacking wing players... or maybe I need to go back and rewatch those games from New York and Philly...🤷Man, I remember back when we were going toe-to-toe with the Spanish and the Germans... it was absolutely brutal. Total bloodbath out there. We were scraping for every single point, just grinding it out, and honestly? Our offense was struggling big time back then, just like it is right now. It’s the same old story. And look, don't get me started, because I am 100% all in on football... just pure soccer through and through...
hehe whatever... everything you're yapping about only started happening after Portugal showed up, or maybe I'm just tripping again (I was clearly the best player on the planet back in 2003/2006)🙄..as for those links, I just grab my news from the official NBA site and a few other hoops blogs... saw something in there about those two guys... if they're full of it, then I guess I am too.. tomorrow we've got the matchup against the Americans, so let's see who was actually telling the truth about Lin
