These guys don't give a shit about the Olympics. Durant more like Durcan't amirite
It was a good game! Jrue took over in the 4th, jet lagged af.

Not worried, better to lose now than during knockouts. They just have to beat Iran and Czech Republic to make it out of the preliminaries. I believe those two squads have the fewest NBA players.

If you could promise me that Durant would take the fall (media, public opinion etc.) for failing to win gold, then I would actively root against USA hoops in this Olympics.

How the hell does the US not completely dominate the basketball? Is it the coach? Too many massive egos on the team?

Kiesenhofer winning the womens cycling road race for Austria is my favorite moment of the games so far. An amateur rider who broke away so early and gained such a massive lead that the Dutch pro who came in second thought she had won. Just incredible.

The homie from Japan winning the men's skateboarding was very impressive. Landed everything so clean.

Our local channel is covering the surfing instead because we have a girl competing.

I'd rather watch the skateboarding.

So Russia was banned from the Olympics but just about every sport has an ROC team/competitor?

Under the ban, Russian athletes can still play as neutral athletes -- which means they do not technically represent a specific country -- if they can prove they had no link to the doping scandal.

More than 300 athletes are doing that at the Tokyo Olympics.
