let's make it happen.

a Caribbean final. and in that game once we both get to 50 points each we stop playing so they have to give the gold medal to both teams can that happened?

Should be damn good, though they'd normally be the underdogs DR straight up beat Brazil and Puerto Rico lost a competitive game to them.

So Caribbean vs South America for the Olympics. Winners go to London, losers get to deal with some angry Europeans in an undisclosed location (read: probably in Europe)

I'm gonna go with the upset
Puerto Rico shocks Argentina by 1

but south american revenge Brazil gets payback against the Dominican Republic by 3.

Argentina though makes the Olympics...cause you just can't kill them that easy.

Puerto Rico, Rusia and Turkey so far, wants to host the pre olympic tournament if they don't make it to london.

And yes they probably are going to give it to europe...like always!! dammit...

DR wanted Brazil, but, they are no match, Brazil by 12


I wanted Argentina, I got Argentina... Puerto Rico by 6

Dominican Republic beats Brazil if the brazilians dont make 15 threes and Francisco Garcia stops those dumb turnovers.

Puerto Rico well, put the players to watch the video of how Argentina beat us by 35 points in the second round, and then we crashed their party in the gold medal match back in FIBA Americas 1995.

Make them old men run and defend them like never before.

Dominican Republic beats Brazil if Francisco Garcia makes 15 threes and Charlie Villanueva stops those dumb turnovers.

FIXED

[Dtown]

39-36 Brazil at half time. Anybody's game.

[JGX]

I'd love to see Coach Cal pull this out...have a bad feeling that Marcelinho has a few more impossible threes left in him though.

[JGX]

LOL at Martinez yelling at the ref while shooting free throws.

LOLx2 at Brazil running the same play every time when Martinez is in the game.

[Ciscorlie Horford]

wow we just got robbed

what a disgusting game! wow just wow

I am in complete shock

[JGX]

Good run by the Dominicans but realistically they're the fourth-best team in the tournament. If the surprises keep coming in Eurobasket there might be a chance for them to pull off an upset at the qualifying tournament next year.

[tres equis]

Congratulations brazil, the refs gave you the game!

[Dtown]

props to the Brazilians for their first Olympics since 1996, but I can't help but feel bad for the Dominicans so close again.
