I don't know much about Gaze so I won't hate on him.
But it doesn't mean your an amazing player just because you play great in international play
yeah Gaze is so awesome his NBA stats are 3.1 PPG and 1RPG.. yeah hes awesome
NOT!!!!
Thats acutually a really dumb comment considering he only played around 3-10mins per game in the NBA.
Anyway...back on track, Opals play tonight at 10.15, lets go girls!
I would put gaze in the same category as Drazen Petrovic, only Gaze never got a shot in the NBA during his prime.
ohh and ocsar schmidt from Brazil.
i recorded the opals game but havent watched it yet....it was on channel 7 so my fingers arent crossed to get most of the game..ar well...
I hope they actually show the semis in the Mens. I'm looking forward to the Argentina vs USA game - should be a good one
Ocsar Schmidt's moto: "I don't beleive in lifting weights, I beleive in shooting!"
haha...yes..that is actually what he said. great shooter...
one game they played against the USA in cleveland in 1996 (pre-olympic match) Brazil had a 4 on 1 fast break and Schmidt pulled up and shot a 3...Mav alerbt "its a 4 on 1...but...Ocsar...fires..from downtown" (he made the 3 btw)
ar memories...
What day and time is it on?
lets hope to god at least one of them is on SBS...are you sure that USA game is PM?...or is that AM?
Actually, technically thats off topic too...the title of the thread is Mens Basketball.
That there is your first comment. Clearly downplaying and obviously based on Gaze (since that is who we were discussing prior to your post). If you weren't talking about Gaze.......well that's pretty random comments(especially since you preface your post by mentioning him.) Plus you highlighted my comment about his Olympic scoring efforts, so obviously your response was based around Gaze. Nowhere before you posted this did I say Gaze was an "amazing player". Someone called him a chump and I made the comment that he basically can't be too bad because he's the second all time Olympic scorer. Didn't say he could have been an NBA star (said he could of been better with more opportunity), didn't even say he was an Olympic star. So obviously you lost the point mate.
As for being "fired" up, that's funny. I think it's entertaining and a discussion.....far from fired up.
I didn't downplay Gaze at all. Hence the preface saying I won't judge Gaze, the next sentence was general and regarding any/all players who have played International and NBA.
See I never said you said Gaze was an amazing player. Your probably right about a lot of the things I was saying, but the point I am trying to get across is that I was not downplaying Gaze at all, and if you took it that I was, I obviously didn't do a good job of expressing what I was trying to say, and you misinterpreted that, in the same way it's true I lost the clarity of the point of what you were saying and misinterpreted that too.
I feel ya mate.....it's all good. That's the trouble with the internet.....sometimes hard to express yourself in the desired manner!
Oscar was a stud......always loved watching him play. Definitely one of the great non NBAers!
I hope they show something tonight......I'd be REALLY surprised not to see something of the US game. Lets hope guys!
