Paris 2024 Summer Olympics

I think this is exactly wrong. Edwards (I forgot all about him! Another damn good defender) and Tatum are better players today than Steph and Durant (yeah, yeah, I know peak Steph and Durant are on a whole other level). Kerr clearly cares more about legacy than current ability. Ok. Fine. Or maybe he is playing "his" guys or the guys he trusts? But benching Tatum is too much. He's the best player on the reigning champs. 3 consecutive years 1st team all NBA. In a few years when they are recruiting players for 2028 guys will be asking, "You gonna bench me?" I promise Kerr won't be coach again.

Considering position, explain how Tatum isn't the worst forward on this team.

Seems like I'm not the only one who thinks benching Tatum for the entire game is very odd.

This is the Olympics and your team is stacked with all stars and all NBA players, I don't see how you justify giving anyone a DNP-CD, honestly.

^^^And the break dancing is barely starting.

Watching bouldering. Problems seem impossible to top out on. Can the route setters even do their own problems or do they just set crazy shit that no one could do?
As an aside I wonder how Honnold would do on these.

Man, I wish I could get this good of a seat to see that!

Without Lyles, the USA still has a strong 4x100. I want to see Kerley get a gold. I love seeing Kerley and Lyles together in interviews, the entire time Kerley's expression is "see the shit I have to put up with?"

Lyles definitely seems to be on the neurodivergent side, but he also has a smoking hot girlfriend - Jamaican sprinter Junelle Bromfield.

Yer off your meds. Give it a rest. I'm a Celtics fan, and would love to see Tatum get more time. It didn't make sense to this armchair coach and was disappointing. All of that was in the moment while watching my team look like they were going to luge big time. However, ultimately, Kerr and the team got the result we needed.

Ping pong was bad enough. They should definitely leave the luge to the experts.

Woof, the break dancing is cringeworthy. See how long you can last, I only made it for 30 seconds

Doing it or watching it?

I agree with this take. Stuff that would be cool in another venue (eg, busking in some urban center) is incredibly cringe at the Olympics
