I doubt Haliburton sees much time with the log jam at the guard positions, which sucks because he'll get your team points even if he's not shooting the ball. Edwards is Edwards, but he's stuck behind the legend of Curry, the possibility Booker won't go 3-15, and two defensive guards. To not get off the bench however is criminal under use when he's the best facilitator and transition point on the roster.

Simply overlooked because of his defense and he's not explosive or flashy. Hopefully it lights a fire under him, especially to work on his defensive game.

US Women soccer showed up strong Today beating Germany (which I think is 4th in World) convincingly, this is the new US Women's team, young, like half have never played in the Olympics.

Three Celtics on the US team. Two are integral parts of the team.

Tatum is the third.

I despise Boston with every ounce of my being. But Jrue is a tough mf. 

Also KD scoring 23 on 9 fga is insane efficiency.

I think Hali is just happy to be there. I don't think he's really made for the Olympics. Doesn't have that kind of edge to him. That's what made guys like LeBron, Melo, KD, Kobe, Wade, Dream Team so special. It's the Olympics. It's going to be physical and you have to be willing to go at everyone's throat, in every game. Not sure Hali has that. He's perfectly made for today's NBA game. Tatum on the other hand... Not sure why he got a DNP behind Booker. I don't think it was play because Embiid is still on the court a lot.

Lilly misses a bronze by .01. That swimming's a young person's game.

Budinger was an absolute Guy in HS. I believe he was the Parade National POY in volleyball and then a Burger Boy for good measure. That’s pretty good. 

[Hovadipo 54,719]

Budinger had a few fun highlights during his cup of coffee in Indy. The guy had serious hops.

OK  this woman is just plain cool.

South Korea's Kim Yeji may have won the silver medal in the women's 10 meter air pistol contest, but she's won gold across the world for her style.

She looks confident to say the least. Assassin vibes, lol.

Personally I like this guy. Without any assistive gear he just looks like a 51 year old random who walked into the Olympics and won a Silver.

Dude’s tweet here is absolutely correct. Flipping up the lens and staring down the camera is about as bada$$ as it gets.

It's not visible here, but he's actually wearing ear plugs. 

 

He looks like the guy from down the street who just got back from Lowe's and is ready to do some serious yard work.
