2024 Olympics- Paris

China must have picked up another… we should get the WBB gold today, and the woman’s Vball are also playing for gold. Not sure what else is out there.

 

Yep. Women’s basketball now!

 

Yeah we were looking last night. Those two are our best bets. There's a lot of random finals today in stuff, no clue if us or China have a shot

 

Assume this is accurate? If we tie on gold and get more silver and bronze, I consider that beating China.

US and China will tie in the gold medal race if Team USA beats France in the women's basketball final

 

I wonder how the medal count would sort out if Russia was at these Olympics?

 

Slow start for both teams … thankfully France can’t hit anything because the US has only made two field goals. Score is 10-5 8 minutes in, mostly free throws. Lots of missed shots and turn overs by both teams.

 

Can't be counting this women's bball gold quite yet....

 

I have never seen so many turnovers and missed point-blank shots.

edit : tied at the half

 

This is a terrible game.

 

Pretty sloppy for us and France playing really well. We are fortunate to be tied at half IMO. Let’s see if they can keep up this pace though.

 

When Griner was in briefly she made a couple of those point blank shots down low. Didn’t stay in long though.

 

France with a 10-0 start in the 3rd … oof

 

US showing some fight, now back up 1

 

Wilson only shooting 3/11 but blocking shots all over the floor.
edit: has a nice touch from the free throw line though

 

2 point game with 1 quarter left

 

So many layups and point black put backs missed…

 

Women up 45-43 with 8:30 left. They were losing earlier for a stretch. Jacking up a bunch of 3s that aren't going. Tie game now

 

Turnovers + missed point blanks/layups > points?

 

Refs are tilting the game a bit

 

Good lord this is bad basketball, just painful to watch
