I love Sam Smith, he filters nothing. I spit water out through my nose when I read this little gem after he mentioned Bulls new shooting guard Belinelli's English isn't very good:

Asked about his defense playing for a defensive minded coach like Tom Thibodeau, Belinelli offered: “I think defensive player… not my best.”

Call me thin-skinned or unpatriotic, but I think winning an Olympic basketball game where you're wildly favored by 85 is absolutely disgraceful and entirely unnecessary.

Which is why Team USA had the class to stop at 83. U-S-A! U-S-A! U-S-A!

I hope a Nigerian marathoner runs the whole race backwards right in front of an American runner singing 'Adult Onset Diabetes.'

Shameful.

The box score of that game is just comical.

Carmelo scored 37 points on only 16 shots...in 14 minutes of playing time.

Shot 71% as a team for the entire game and made 29 out of 46 three attempts.

That would be hilarious too. But seriously, this is a competition. Unless you want the US to start mocking the other team by taking a knee, I'm not sure what you're wanting. Kobe and LeBron combined for 22 minutes, Melo was the only one to shoot 10 times.

Yeah, I'd be more offended to be shown mercy.

You have to continue to play the game, but you don't have to run the court. You could bring the ball up and setup, take a little time off etc...

I didn't see the game so I don't know.
