Wow. What a clutch shot.

Kingofkings1281 · 07-30-2024, 12:17 PM

Another fantastic showing from Victor. I feel bad for Japan, though. They gave it everything they had.

I saw that they were up 4 with about 15 seconds left. They blew it!

Yago Santos makes Schroeder look tall but great point for Brazil (despite results).

You said Wemby has "potential" and asked if Tyrese Maxey was on the US men's roster....

I don't see why anything you say should hold any type of credence...

Germany beats USA in 3v3 girl hoops. I blame Ice Cube.

With Maxey, the implied question is why he's not on the squad.

Australia is desperately lacking a top level scorer now that Patty can't give you 42 points in a Bronze medal game.

Hopefully we can beat Greece and avoid the USA in a quarter final.

At best I think we get to the Bronze medal game.

Germany and France are playing well along with Canada

I agree. It’s tough to beat good teams without a go to scorer.

Giddey is good but he’s not really a guy you can give the ball to and he goes and gets a shot

100%

He has played well so far but we definitely need someone that's a bucket.

Patty was that guy last Olympics.

There is so much high level shooting at this Olympics so you really need to keep up

kellmuff · 07-31-2024, 08:45 AM

Canada looking good. Any team with SGA/Murray can win. Brooks has been a monster defensively too. Confident we beat Spain and get top spot.

Yes. And it's not close. One day he will get his respect.

packman80 · 07-31-2024, 09:42 AM

So did no one with talent want to play for the USA on the 3x3 team?

asujbl · 07-31-2024, 10:29 AM

Probably should have had Clark at least ride the bench

Replying to @TraeK_
Spain vs. China - 27,021
Serbia vs. Puerto Rico - 15,324
Nigeria vs. Australia - 24,023
Germany vs. Belgium - 20,211
France vs. Canada - 20,211

USA vs. Japan - 13,040. That's over 8,000 below the average attendance over the first couple days.. Sheesh

WaiverWire · 07-31-2024, 10:42 AM

They don’t care about viewership or profitability. They want more gold medals for the over 40’s Olympians. When viewed through that lens, their actions make complete sense.

That’s a super dumb lens

mc1 · 07-31-2024, 10:54 AM

Interesting that the two lowest attended games were at 9pm local time. Serbia vs Puerto Rico and USA vs Japan. Im sure thats a simple coincidence.

I don’t think it’s 9pm in France right now so not entirely sure where you got that from.

ronaldo943 · 07-31-2024, 10:57 AM

Ah I see you’re talking about the women’s basketball.

If Caitlin Clark was there would the 9:00 matter?

Rhetorical

yiguiri2002 · 07-31-2024, 11:34 AM

Joker on pace to have the 4th triple double ever in Olympics history

bradjames12 · 07-31-2024, 03:05 PM

Tatum and Hali actually getting some playing time

Heck of a 1st half by the US bench

Not a great start to the 2nd half.. sigh...

Nomad · 07-31-2024, 03:06 PM

Little surge here. South Sudan just keep coming. USA will be very tired at the end of this game. Good practice.
