Man, some of y’all act like basketball isn’t a 4 quarter sport. Lots of completely embarrassing comments, then we turn around and win by 20…

Man, how is Luka not taking that shot?
He dove for a loose ball into the scorers table and jammed up his wrist earlier and the announcers said it was clearly bothering him a lot. He didn’t really look to score too much after that.

I suppose. But give me Luka with a bad wrist taking that shot over anyone else on that roster.

The U.S. was getting rolled in the first half. It was comical how bad they were playing.

I stayed up to watch because of course they could come back. And they did. Australia was out of gas after halftime, the U.S. started hitting 3's, and all of a sudden they were up 20. I expect a similar game against France. Closer at the end, but similar.

They weren’t playing great but it wasn’t the end of the world, they were mostly just missing shots which happens with this team. By half it was a three point game and then they blew the doors open. It’s not always as bad as it may look.

Just a reminder of two important team-sport matches. USA will be facing Serbia in both women's basketball and volleyball semi-final.

For WBB, the game starts at 11:40PM CT and can be watched on NBC or via online stream.

For VB, the game starts at 11:00PM CT and can be watched on the USA network.

Unreal how damned good these Chinese divers are. I’ve created bigger splashes skipping rocks.

I’m not totally convinced the one is human (just kidding, but sheesh).

14 years old (just turned 14 in March). 2 perfect dives (all 7 judges scoring 10, two of those 10’s are dropped) and 1 that was 0.5 points short of “perfect” (even though the 9.5 was dropped). 24 out of a 35 scores were 10’s. Shattered the Olympic record.

Incredible.

As soon as I saw her walk up and start in a handstand I was like, oh yeah, this is over.
