USA women smacked Spain, win their 6th straight gold medal. And 49th straight Olympic game.

I heard that 49th straight win earlier, that's crazy. Said their last loss was in the 92 Olympics? What.

My wish is for one day to be a U.S.A vs. The World 7 game series

Just seeing all of these athletes from around thr world and seeing the work they put in man is amazing.

I have no idea what they do for 4 straight years but man its amazing seeing them all together in one place respecting eachother and competing without the talk of fixing or incompetence from outside persons.

Its sport in pure form.

That last brazil soccer game was the perfect example.

Kinda hate that its basically on the wind down now. Within a week or so it was lit.

You do know that they were all alternates anyway and damn near our 3rd and 4th choices. If it wasn't for guys being injured and/or folks having "Zika Fears", half of the guys on the team now wouldn't even be there.

Like DY said, adding just Lebron and CP3 changes the whole dynamic of the team. Not to mention you're bringing back basically the core of your last team with Kobe being the only one not playing.

This part wasn't related to the main conversation... I was literally curious.

That was a really bad call against Australia to give Rodriguez those go-ahead freebies with 6 seconds left.

In any case, Spain wins the bronze medal and Pau Gasol killed it with an Olympic-career-best 31 points.

Spacing has been horrible for us so far on Offense.

I wish NBA games had as few breaks as Olympic Games. It spoils me.

Good game so far. Hoping Serbia keeps it close but when USA get stops and they can run it's tough.

I'm already looking forward to the 2020 Olympics lol. I expect Pop to actually have the team move the ball a lot more and not as much iso ball that we've seen. Plus sounds like LeBron will maybe be there even if he'll be 35 that is big. But in these Olympics this defensive lineup with KD or Melo mixed in with them is really good.

These live ball turnovers are killing Serbia.

I wouldn't put this on Coach K. Half of this roster played on teams that leaned heavy towards isos and have made their living being iso players: Carmelo, KD, Kyrie, Lowry, Derozan and Butler. There is only so much you can do change habits without negating their actual skills.

This already seems out of reach.
