Basketball at the Olympics

Honestly I was confused on Twitter. After the game I was perusing and everyone was calling for Sabrina to play more but Plum was playing better throughout the game.

 

Plum played well for sure, but Sabrina didn't play as badly as you were saying. She only played 10 minutes but still had 3 assists, 2 rebounds, and a steal (which she did not credit for ) during a crucial stretch. She took 1 shot.

 

She was struggling to handle the ball against the pressure. She had a really nice assist, but she also had a horrible turnover.

 

They all struggled against France's pressure. Sabrina had 1 of their........ 19 turnovers.

 

Yeah, and it was a bad one at a bad time. Did you watch the game? One can struggle handling the ball, taken out of the game without committing a bunch of turnovers.

I love Sabrina and her game. This game was not impressive at all. It happens.

 

Yes, I watched the game and I also recorded it and rewatched the 2nd half. Watch it again starting with the USA down 5 when Sabrina entered the game. (Right after Plum's passed the ball about 10 rows deep) Her one turnover was bad, and there was another where she got trapped but passed out of it. But she looked great during the 8-0 run to take the lead.

 

Agree to disagree I guess.

 

That's an awesome sticker!!

 

All those buttons look Red to me FAMS

 

LeBron shot 66% FG in the Olympics.

 

That's why it was always such a joke that she should try out for a NBA team. Her athleticism is barely adequate to manage the center position against women. Imagine her trying to guard SF's her height among men. It would be a layup line every possession. (She was more mobile coming out of college, but not by enough to have made any difference whatsoever.)

The only position that could ever hope to make that transition is PG, where it's about speed and skill much more than size.

 

This article hints, while discreetly leaving it between the lines. Picture of leaning on teammates, red nose.

on the wagon

 

Jokic was a 2nd-round pick because he was even fatter than this. Now he has the 5th triple-double in Olympic history.

 

He won NBA championship. He made headway in the Olympics. Is fat Joker back for a while?

 

I've got 2 videos I'd love to share of him.....TANKED!
