Ok here’s something as i watched today. They ran through China as expected but idk they don’t seen to have the energy as the boys. Well anyway we’ll probably win gold as talent level hasn’t caught up yet and $$ from other countries plays a factor. But riddle me this, would love to hear from anyone who watched the girls all star game and thinks this team THIS TEAM NOW couldn’t use Angel and Cait?? If you do please explain. I could rattle off a half a dozen broads who i would replace with these two. Peace and GEAUX USA

Because the men were against an actual threat. The MVP of their league was on the other side. Japan had like two women as tall as the whole US team.

If you watched the game those two weren't who jumped off the screen for Team WNBA.

Why isn’t Bronny on Team USA?

This France Japan game is fantastic. Well worth watching the final 5 minutes if you get time...

Woman ref ruined the game with the foul call in the last 10 seconds on France's 3.

Pretty big home cooking.

YES. Intense 4Q in this one.

Glad I threw it on in the background while i was getting in a quick workout on my Peloton.

Brazil vs Germany should be another good matchup.

The Boston media mafia cried Tatum into a starting role today.

I'm sorry but there is no way this South Sudan team should even be competitive with the US but they are doing very well.

Serbia, France, Canada, Australia sure. But Sudan? No.

They’re playing well. Hitting threes and taking advantage of USA mistakes.

You would think that The US's ridiculous depth, skill and athleticism would bury them in the 2nd half.

Yea we should absolutely blow this team out by 20. Anything else is a loss.

South Sudan is a great story. Apparently Luol Deng is their coach, and he's been financing the entire program. I respect it. But their only NBA player is a guy who struggles to get minutes on the Hornets. They don't even have Bol Bol, who would probably be their best player.

Defense and energy of the US is taking over.

Being able to bring Kevin Durant off the bench is so absurd

Are you watching them play? They aren't as good as us but its not like they're just dribbling the ball off their feet and can't get across half court. They already beat Puerto Rico by double figures.


AD just got his ankle stepped on so Embiid might avoid being toady's dnp.

Safe to say the team took this one a bit more seriously than the scrimmage
