Haven't looked at tomorrow's schedule yet.

Last leg for the USA basically had to not trip.

So early but already want to pull Embiid soooooo bad for AD and Bam. Maybe LeBron and KD both go Superman to mask it.

LeBron putting on a show.

Getting Gobert in foul trouble would be nice.

 

[ianoconnor]

Davis got tackled there and no foul

US record, African record and European record in same race and a 16yo high school kid was part of US record, so cool.

Publicity stunt with the 16 yo kid almost cost them a shot at even being in the final

Just saw highlight of the ending of the women's 4x400.

The Americans just Ledeckied the entire rest of the field in that race.

I like that adjective.

Of course they did. Aren’t we almost done
With China gold medal chances?

Basketball without TV timeouts every 90 seconds is pretty nice.

He didn't have the best game against Serbia, but for anybody who doesn't watch much NBA, Anthony Edwards is just an incredibly fun player to watch. He is often next level on defense like the full court shut down he just had. I was watching a regular season game this year where he had a game winning block and smacked his head on the backboard he was so high blocking it.

Artistic paper airplanes will make it really close.

France is dangerous. You can't play sloppy with them. Just attack the rim.

 

[HFCS]

Kerr...it's the last game, you can abandon your weird platoons.

Go with this lineup and spell when necessary, these are short quarters anyway.
PG LeBron
SG Steph
SG Edwards
SF KD
PF AD

That's the lineup. The PG and PF are teammates anyway, KD and Steph make offense easy. Edwards is a dog on defense in a short game where he doesn't have to score all the points.

 

[JP4CY]

I don't need Booker on the floor.
