Who's the second best team in womans olympic basketball, she should announce she will play for them.

Tough call between China and Australia.

Caitlin would not ruin her brand by playing against Team USA.

Becky Hammon, however, had no problem playing with the Russians in 2008 (?) when Team USA felt she wasn't worthy to play for the U.S. team.

Hammon never in her career played in a FIBA-sanctioned event for Team USA.

She was a late-bloomer.

Something is up.
She played 22 minutes today.

They don't play again until Thursday.

Why the rest?

Maybe she is an emotional and physical wreck.

I would be in an emotional blender everytime I would throw the ball to Boston and watch her fumble it or crack the backboard with one of her bullets designed to be a shot.

She is God awful and that's an understatement

Interesting fact about Hammon.
I agree with Winky a little bit that the rest would help.

But then again practicing against the elite of the elite would do more good than anything for her career.

Being around true pros like plum, young, sabrina would launch her playing career since she isn't being developed by the puppet Christine Sides

-30 in only 22 min Conn in college semifinals showed the gameplan of hounding her full court. Probably worn out.

Carrington is an animal and was hounding her right at half court

Some of the defense is borderline embarrassing. Face guarding when she's no threat on the other side of the court. In one sequence Carrington had no idea what was happening on the court, watching Caitlin, her back to the action.

A lot of respect for a girl not good enough to make the Olympic team.

EOG Master
It's obvious to the opposition, Caitlin needs to develop a more all around game besides the step back three. She's not beating too many guards off the dribble, and she has problems when double teamed, splitting the defenders.

Open court, nobody better finding a open player.

Tell me who would trade Caitlin right now straight up for Plum?

Hmmm...

Kelsey's better than Caitlin right now, but check back in three or four years.

I'd take Caitlin over Kelsey not only for her on-court value but for her obvious off-court revenue.

BINGO!

For the Aces - Plum is the better fit since they are built to win NOW

In a few years Plum might not be in the league and Caitlin will - and be a star.

Good theater watching people cut off their nose to spite their face. Olympic team mainly funded by television revenue which of course is fueled by advertising money. Makes perfect sense to leave off the only reason anyone is watching this crap. Well aside from us degenerates.

Fair point.....except for one thing: IF CC goes to Paris she will be a "20-20" Player.......play the last 20 seconds when UP 20.

She would be nothing more than Taylor Swift at a Chefs game - people watching just to see cutaways of Taylor/Caitlin

Caitlin is Italian, can she play for them no questions asked?

I don't think Nike would have a problem with that, or would they?

A funny side note, after Caitlin broke the collegiate record, the first person she hugged in the tunnel was the State Farm guy. lol

He's everywhere.

Fair point.

But 0% chance the media votes for her over Caitlin. NO PRAYER!

On MERIT - we can debate that. But the media is not going to choose a very outspoken (and hated) black woman over white GND Barbie Caitlin

Clark is doing a good job of playing her way off the all rookie team lately much less winning the ROY

Unless she murders someone it is gonna be tough for her NOT to get ROY. Will she DESERVE it....probably not. But "deserve" and "get" are 2 different things. Just look at last year's MVP.

Clark is getting smart.....they're over playing her ability to hit the three, maintain your dribble and take it to the hoop.

Her handles are very weak. I see the ball get away from her too often but it seems like her dumbass coach wants her to be a facilitator instead of a scorer.

Yep, she dribbles the ball to high, however the coach is caught in a dilemma, Caitlin is their best passer, Mitchell only passes when she can't
get a shot off. Caitlin no doubt gets gassed doing everything but the offense flows better when she brings the ball up.

Portnoy with his pizza reviews
Funny you mention this, a couple weeks ago I saw a pizza review he did at the place where I get my pizza, 5 minutes from the house, not sure why he was in my town, Miami or Ft Lauderdale I can see, but not the small town where I live

His primary residence is Florida now, not sure where....

His pizza reviews have gotten so big he literally can make or break a shop.

Fezzik weighing in on the Angel Reese debate. And you wonder why he doesn't have time to list pitchers in his picks.

"I cannot understand why so many people dislike this Angel Reese........"

He's a Boston guy, but he certainly wouldn't be the first person to relocate down here, half of the state is from up North

He made a note to reiterate always list pitchers the other day...and in a write up... suggesting who knows what he plays.

Interesting, yesterday on the Verlander scratch, no mention play and price was for new HOU pitcher. I could only guess by the time stamp and price it was new pitcher.

Attention to detail is not his strong suit which is ironic for a advantage guy.
