Sochi 2014 Winter Olympics

The problem with basketball is that it is a game designed to encourage mutants. 

Yeah, particularly at the NBA level.  I had been to a ton of college basketball games before I went to my first NBA game.  Holy crap, all the guys on the court were freaks of nature.  I like NBA games in person because of the sheer human spectacle.  On TV they don't do so much for me.

[crazy canuck]

We are on the power play

[derspiess]

US-Czech game is a nailbiter.

[crazy canuck]

Man the Latvian goalie is completely exhausted.  We are now up to something like 55 shots.  Still tied.


edit: We score!

[Barrister]

Weber scores!!!

If basketball has no defense Gay, you should be able to score 100% of the time in a one on one game with crazy canuck. 

I wouldnt be able to score 100% of the time against just a net.

It still has no defense.

You know watching this hockey game & comparing it to a regular NHL game. I think CCs problem is that he doesn't understand the need to send messages to your opposition.

How many points do you think you would score going one on one against me?  No offense but my bet is I stop every shot

No, its that kind of bullshit reasoning that drives me crazy.

Nah. I am not going to get close to hitting the net on over 70% of my shots. You won't need to block all the time.

This is the craziest thing I've heard since Josephus said that playoffs are a dumb idea.

[crazy canuck]

That was way too close.

[Jacob]

Yeah, way too close.

Well played Latvia.

[Grey Fox]

That was way too close.

Hot goalie + giant ice. It produces that kind of results.

I heard the commentators talk about the poor quality of the ice as well.
