1. YES!!!

Jacked up on coffee to stay up. Whew. France wouldn’t go away.

🥇👍

2. Good thing KD didn't stay home.

[OAITW r.2.0]

3. He is really, really good. Maybe the best all around in the NBA today.

5. It's amazing how many cons are rooting against our Olympic athletes

7. You know you are being turned around when you root against your country

I am throwing this in a few faces tomorrow.

USA! USA! 🇺🇸

8. They hate our athletes because they think they're woke

19. At least the Woman's soccer team.

MF45 hates the Woman's Soccer Team, especially Megan Rapinoe. Of course MF45 hates all women, and sees them only as objects he can pay $150,000 to have sex with.

Every woman on that team could mop the floor with His Corpulence, and I'd pay them $150,000 (if I had it to spare) to see that glorious floor cleaning. 🙂

21. I think he especially hates lesbians.

It's just a theory I have, but I think women who are not sexually attracted to men make him really uncomfortable. Look at the way he went after Rosie O'Donnell. There was something about her that really got to him, and I'm sure her sexuality was part of it.

He probably also remembers being snubbed by Rapinoe and the team after they won the Women's World Cup. And being snubbed by a lesbian would add an extra layer of insult to the whole thing for him, imo.

Like I said, it's just my personal theory, but it fits what I know about him.

22. I agree.

I think any strong, confident woman who sees through his thin veneer of macho bullshit bothers him. He's such an insecure little boy, but the vast majority of men only see the superficial he-man he portrays himself to be.

Enter a woman, a woman who knows what he is and doesn't back down, and she's like kryptonite to Superman. He's such an insecure little putz.

Have a wonderful weekend.

6. I was watching with the sound down

I had to go check mid 2nd quarter. It was all him.

29 points.
Tatum 19.

[orwell]

16. Draymond Green...

...was tremendous down the stretch.

People never notice how many winning plays that guy makes at crunch time.

They held KD down in the 4th quarter but he made critical foul shots when they needed them.

I couldn't believe Lillard missing the two free throws at crunch time.

France was a gritty team. they really made a game of it.

but...Durant is the best player in the world right now.

[ProfessorGAC]

26. While I Agree...

...there were two 5-6 minute periods where every French prayer was answered.
They were throwing up bad shots from all over the court, that were hitting glass, rim, rim, glass, rim, in.
The only French guy hitting net was, literally, the worst outside shooter on either team. Anomaly, #2.
It was nip & tuck score wise, but it never felt like it would get away from them. Eventually France would start missing. Nobody's that lucky.

4. Exciting game. I'm glad for Team USA and especially, coach Popovitch.

[Salviati]

9. You might want to edit the title

to eliminate the spoiler for those who care about it...

[elevator]

10. Thanks a lot. I recorded to watch Saturday.

Damn.

[Elwood P Dowd]

11. Trump voters are unhappy about this.

They hate the US Men's basketball and US Women's soccer teams. They are considered traitors for not worshiping Trump. One Trumper I know claims they are all in bed with the CCP (Chinese Communist Party). The Trumpers politicize just about everything including life saving COVID policies and sports.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

12. They were ecstatic our women's soccer team lost

The consolation was one of the Canadian players is trans.

20. Let em cry

Women got bronze, men got gold. Guess what? They are all fucking medals regardless. MAGAt's get a participation trophy for being whinny little roaches.

[Renew Deal]

24. It would have been accurate to stop at "they hate the US"

[erpowers]

13. MAGATs Are Mad

As the game was coming to an end and it was becoming clear Team USA would win I began to think, MAGATs were not going to be happy with this win.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

14. Pops and Steve Kerr were outspoken Trump critics

[Jon King]

15. Our guy Bam did all the dirty work!

Bam was a huge part of the wins, doing all the things that go into winning without getting all the headlines. Go Heat!!

[DemocratSinceBirth]

17. The Heat should be exciting with the acquisition of Kyle Lowry

[orwell]

18. He was great.

It's the first time I've really watched him play.

Tatum was great as well.

Lillard and Booker were disappointing for the most part.

I suspect being at the Olympics is a bit overwhelming, even for an NBA player.

23. I created this in honor of our Olympic team
