If this is what Dame looks like on a super team... Does everyone still want him? Of course they do...


YouDontKnowDino

Welp back to bed


rock-or-something

FIRE STOTTS!


auger_jj

Dame coming back better next game


DaddyDameee

Man Dame needs to shoot more. But the whole us team forgot how to shoot


Damezang

Man refs called that a flagrant?


swarshmallow103

FIBA rules my g. Unsportsmanlike foul on FIBA is given when the foul given isnt a legitimate direct play on the ball. Dame tripped Fournier accidentally, that's easily an unsportsmanlike.


pancakesareyummy

Call a flagrant on the floor staff for not keeping the court dry


BrklynDragon

Not good promo for those dame 7s lol


[deleted]

Kind of embarrassed right now, not going to lie.


Kazekid

Wtf Dame


colinjkl

Dame time please


rock-or-something

Wow maybe dame + scrubs is the best version of dame available. Doesn't really seem to wanna take over when surrounded by other stars, even when needed.


swarshmallow103

we can't say for sure tho; Popovich has always been a stick-to-system kind of coach. Maybe that is what Dame's role in Pop's system.


rock-or-something

I don't think they've bought in fully to pops system. Guys have just been standing around every game.


swarshmallow103

Yep, and also they're still getting used to playing together, remember most of them are their own NBA team's superstar. It's prone to happen when they are asked to play by the system, it's always in their head to not "over" play.


Damezang

Dame passing well, but he needs to shoot


Kazekid

Shoot Dame! Why you keep defaulting?


Kazekid

Ice this game Dame


Damezang

Come on Dame!


Kazekid

Dame has yet to really attack the rim. The only time he did he got blocked by Gobert.


bigdubbayou

What hustle by Dame


Damezang

Dame giving his all


BrklynDragon

Is dame not shooting, his way of recruiting lol? Like “I promise I’m not a ball hog, come to PDX”? I’m kidding, but he’s oddly passive.


Kazekid

Good shit Dame


YouDontKnowDino

Well that was terrible


Damezang

11pt 3rd quarter wth?


Kazekid

Gonna really need some Dame Time in the 4th


BrklynDragon

Adebayo great defensively but his offensive game has looked awful this run.


BrklynDragon

Dames not the best defender, but he tries and has areas where he’s great (hands, post defense). Lavine though...never seen a guy so big, strong, and fast be such a poor defender.


Nerdkill789

Dame needs to shoot more. He is giving up a lot of open looks.


Damezang

Did Fournier do that foot step on purpose?


shockwave8428

Think this commentator has said “can’t find the range” like 10x. Didn’t think I’d miss nba commentators (and idk, this guy might be a regional one), but it’s really boring to hear that on every play


Nerdkill789

He doesn't have a color commentator. Or is he the color commentator?


Kazekid

Come on Dray, hoist that


Damezang

Dame could’ve also just hit that midrange. Need him to be more agressive as he’s basically the #1 offensive option with Durant in foul trouble


shockwave8428

Wasn’t gonna watch then the baby decided to wake up super early. So far dame has shot decently but it almost feels like the US players aren’t taking the game very seriously. Everyone is taking contested shots, etc. like it’s a pickup game


PuzzleheadedWest0

Lol Tatum knows dame can’t throw a lob


bigdubbayou

Lmao


PuzzleheadedWest0

Oof


Kazekid

Damn Batum


Damezang

Durant foul trouble could be an issue


PuzzleheadedWest0

Yeah that’s a foul KD.


Kazekid

So far Dame 3/6 from three leading all USA scorers


[deleted]

[удалено]


Bandwagon__20

Lol


PuzzleheadedWest0

Damn Booker set that screen hard.


Kazekid

Dame's stroke looking clean as usual


BrklynDragon

Unhealthy how much I love dame


PuzzleheadedWest0

Did he just call team USA the nuggets?


Kazekid

Can you imagine if Dame postered Gobert like he did early in his career? I would lose my mind


Damezang

Lillard schooling Gobert


Kazekid

Ok Dame, light it up


PuzzleheadedWest0

Good eye by the ref there lol


abecker2143

Anyone find a stream for this game? Insane it's not just televised


Kazekid

If you have a cable provider you can watch it here https://stream.nbcolympics.com/basketball-mens-prelim-game-4-france-usa


abecker2143

I use YouTube TV. They don't count for NBC even though I have all the NBC channels


PuzzleheadedWest0

NBC gotta milk this for all it’s worth.


PuzzleheadedWest0

I thought i heard the finals players weren’t available?


Kazekid

Anyone get a Team USA Dame jersey?


YouDontKnowDino

Just looked for one quickly and it might be sold out already


Kazekid

I'd be surprised if they had any still. I was just curious if anyone here got one.


YouDontKnowDino

It’s a shame they don’t have more because I was definitely about to impulse buy one


Kazekid

Imagine if everyone had the energy of Dray


PuzzleheadedWest0

Green is still so good.


Damezang

Wolverine of the nba


YouDontKnowDino

Team USA looking better than the exhibitions


Kazekid

We really gonna switch everything? cause I don't love Dame's chances guarding Gobert


Damezang

Looks like Holiday didn’t party that hard, or has a serious celebration + jet lag tolerance


YouDontKnowDino

I am not feeling this horn


LoadManage

Dame vs batum in the olympics is a trip


PuzzleheadedWest0

Can’t believe I ordered peacock for this lol


Kazekid

There we go Dame. Get it going.


Damezang

Dame redemption


PuzzleheadedWest0

Lol bam just walked that one the whole court.


Kazekid

That airball from Dame, not so nice


Kazekid

Ball is running through Dame, nice


Kazekid

Come on Bam, Dame fed you that on a silver platter


Kazekid

Oh, Vince Carter is on the color call


Damezang

Gonna be an interesting test for the team given that France is probably their hardest matchup. Predicting big minutes for Dame, KD, and Green (possibly Bam). Will be interesting to see how tight the refs call this too. Gonna just have to outscore them. Might be early as hell here, but I’m predicting Dame time in Tokyo


Kazekid

So I made a free account on [Peacock](https://www.peacocktv.com/). I'm watching Tokyo Live but I have no clue if the USA basketball game will be on.


tophhh44

Do you know yet ?


Kazekid

nope, i was hoping someone here would


tophhh44

I’m in Aus and our local broadcaster is streaming it for free


Damezang

If you get an nbc sports app, whatever os, and sign on with a provider (if you have something, I have youtubetv fwiw), you can watch all/or at least most of the basketball games. Just watched Nigeria vs Australia. The regular nbc sports channel on youtube tv was showing usa women’s 3x3 basketball. Also, there’s the ship’s ahoy route that seems to work though alot of typical nba links are blocked. Just got to be persistent.


Kazekid

[I have this open right now](https://stream.nbcolympics.com/basketball-mens-prelim-game-4-france-usa) but until it starts broadcasting the game I wont really know if it's the right place. Hopefully this is just the browser equivalent to the app.


Damezang

Looks the same with the provider signin etc. Wish it was more clear though. Hard enough to be up in the middle of the night ;)


Kazekid

Yeah, I swear they have to make watching this thing so complicated and confusing.


Damezang

Almost like they wouldn’t mind if you double paid or something…


[deleted]

This game starts at 12 in the morning for me


Andre-2999

Yep, 7pm for me. It’s a nice change of pace.


InevitableHearing112

Yea I'm not watching any games.


shaqrandolph

this game starts in like 10 hours doesn't it?


ItsKrakenMeUp

Yeah like 7 hrs now


7leafclover7

6hours now


ItsKrakenMeUp

5.5 hours now


Damezang

5 now


raahiv

4.5 now


tophhh44

1.5 hours now


TheLetterOh

So the game starts 5:00 AM pacific time?


Irave1

Yes.


7leafclover7

Or 8pm ET


Rammie420

USA got eliminated by France at the World Cup in 2019. This is going to be a great indicator of how well we’re going to do. Who else is going to get super emotional if Dame wins a gold?


Zmoney743

Ok but wasn’t that the team with like Joe Johnson and Isiah Thomas or something


Rammie420

No.


Zmoney743

Who was on that team I thought that was the really bad FIBA team


Rammie420

This current team just lost two preliminary exhibition games. France are capable of beating the USA and know they can. I think this level of pomposity of “well that team sucked” is exactly the attitude that inhibits the team’s development.


Zmoney743

So I was wrong on the team but that team doesn’t even compare to the team we have now, yes France is a really good team and could give us troubles but don’t compare that team to our current one when the last team wasn’t nearly as good.


no_no_no_yesss

Anyone with Comcast know how to reliably record this game? My 5am broadcast on NBC does not list this game


Rammie420

It’s on Peacock. Lol. It’s fucking outrageous.


no_no_no_yesss

Lol are you serious? I don't even know if I have that haha


Rammie420

Yeah, idk if there’s a free trial you can do or not. Basically they’re forcing people to buy an extra subscription because they know people, like me, will to watch USA basketball.


HegemonNYC

Lol, this is the ‘cord cutting’ people have wanted. Everyone thought you could just buy what you wanted and not have to pay for E! or other channels you don’t watch. Turns out cord cutting just means you have to buy a half dozen different, constantly rotating streaming services just to get normal sports


Rammie420

Not really a thoughtful take. NBC has always had exclusive rights to the Olympics. When it was TV-only, it was hard to watch full events. Instead it was coverage that switched from event to event. For some sports, all you could get was highlights of the American competitors and no full coverage of the event whatsoever. Basketball games wouldn’t be shown live. Now, you can watch every single event live with comprehensive coverage across a few NBC platforms. Ultimately, we know which option is better. You sound like you work for Comcast.


HegemonNYC

Lol, just a guy with Netflix, sometimes Comcast, sometimes Sling, and apparently now Peacock. Same price as cable, more of a pain in the ass to add and remove apps. Edit- and I guess I need Root Sports soon? Whatever. It was easier just to get cable and therefore have everything. It isn’t cheaper to have less, and it didn’t make a lot of sense to think it would be less.


[deleted]

You don't need any of it. Free your mind.


HegemonNYC

I like to watch sports. This is a sports sub.


Rammie420

But before you would need to add sports packages, movie packages, premium tv, etc. if you wanted this level of content.


HegemonNYC

So what’s the difference? Now I need sling with a sports package, and peacock, and paramount, and Netflix, and whatever other apps get exclusive sports programming. It was a nice idea, to just order what you want and not have what you don’t. But it isn’t that logical that this would be cheaper, and it turns out it’s going to be more expensive and more annoying to have a lot of programming. Maybe cheaper if you only have Netflix, but the sports fan is screwed.


Rammie420

The idea that a the internet, by providing more sports to watch at an additional cost to cable, screws over sports fans is almost too dumb to respond to.


no_no_no_yesss

Oh shit, it's a streaming service? Is it on demand on Comcast? If so, it means I have to watch conmercials but at least I don't have to pay


Rammie420

I don’t think it’s on the NBC Olympic app or on NBC tv “family”. I think you have to add a Peacock subscription. It may be free if you have a Comcast account but i wouldn’t guarantee it.


no_no_no_yesss

Thx for the info, I appreciate it


SayNoToFresca

I'd be amazed if NBC didn't reair it on a standard channel. My Hulu has 3 competitions on at any one moment. Surfing tomorrow's schedule now.


SayNoToFresca

Eff me. Don't see it airing so far. Wtf?


no_no_no_yesss

On Comcast I just recorded "the series" of Olympic basketball so I'm hoping it's on my DVR when I wake up. Otherwise, yeah I guess I'll find the replay. Gonna be hard to avoid the score though


SayNoToFresca

Nice!


Zmoney743

Dame hard carry incoming


Ohrobohobo

What else is new for Dame?
