Game Thread: Ron Baker (USA) vs Venezuela

[ShockerFever]

I'm shocked.

[boilershock]

Hell yea!!!!

[AndShock]

Baker could have dominated the whole game if his team would let him.

[ShockerFever]

Dropping the "95-14" lines.

Ron makes teams better. I bet you guys didn't know that.

[ShockerFever]

Money.

[AndShock]

I would have enjoyed this game a lot more if I had just watched the last 3 minutes.

[ShockRef]

And when given a chance, drills the trey!

Anyone notice Ron hustling over to congratulate teammates at all times? No agenda, just an all out positive attitude and outlook.

That is all.

Attaboy Ron! If everyone else is going to be selfish, you might as well get yourself a 3 there.

[KraRam]

Yes Jay Bilas I think the college game would look so much better with a 24 second clock and international rules.😒

RB looked good. Great D and started to show his offense toward the end.

[wufan]

Team USA was better in the second half, but Ron was good all game and there is no excuse for giving Fred a try out and cutting him.

[ShockerFever]

Anybody other than Venezuela and that pitiful excuse for "basketball" would have cost the US a W.


I've never seen a more despicable display of selfishness on the basketball court. That was glorified manure.

[Aargh]

The +/- for Baker would be ridiculous. When Baker was out in the first half, venezuela took the lead. USA took the lead back when Baker defended Venezula's best scorer. Stayed pretty even when Baker got a rest in the second half. Then the lead exploded when Baker came back in. Coincidence? I think not!

Baker's NBA status is probably taking a nice boost.

Venezuela made it look pretty good.
