LOL

The All Stars are embarrassing Team USA

 

[WDSMHAWK]

This is the Olympic team concession? What a joke. She might as well rest. Her team will get obliterated again.

Well that will be a bloodbath.

It's a no-win scenario. If she plays, her team is the sacrificial lamb and she won't look good. If she doesn't, she'll look like a bad sport.

She's screwed either way.

Caitlin should absolutely refuse to play in such a game. No way in hell should she do it. Nothing to gain for her. Just more physical abuse and trash talk from the "Olympians." She should be lounging on a beach somewhere and laughing at the petty, jealous, envious fools at every level of the WNBA.

Had to dig up some quotes when it was announced that the WNBA All Stars would be playing the National Team.

 

[2D_]

Damn, I hope CC gets to play the last few minutes. I'd like to see her break that record.

 

[BioHawk]

Team USA has some serious issues. Like they look....old.

[LetsGoHawks83]

Looking like an all-star game the last few minutes. Pretty sloppy and letting USA get back into it.... Somewhat

 

[AWS1022]

Team USA has some serious issues. Like they look....old.

Of course they won’t be playing any team even half as talented as the all star team.

 

[JimStarr777]

Team USA might win gold, but they can’t claim to be the world’s best team 🤣🤣

 

[Franisdaman]

This is 1 of 2 tune up games for Team USA before the Olympics.

How do you explain this embarrassing exhibition?

 

[LetsGoHawks83]

Happens when you put DT on there for her 15th Olympics.

 

[Franisdaman]

Team USA has some serious issues. Like they look....old.

but hey, gotta get Diana to her 6th Olympics

 

[BioHawk]

With a month of games ahead of them, I wouldn't be surprised if they let off the gas starting the second half. This is more of a show than it is a game.

I think the WNBA stars think they are a better team than Team USA and they've played with a chip on their shoulder. Particularly Ogunbowale. And I don't blame then the way this team was constructed.

 

[TDJ7]

Did Swoops have to buy 2 seats?

 

[hawkeye_wx]

Arike isn't even touching rim. She's white hot.

 

[LetsGoHawks83]

Wait.... I thought the national team had to be battle tested?

Getting their a$$es beat by team WNBA that has never played together. LOL

 

[LetsGoHawks83]

Arike isn't even touching rim. She's white hot.

Not good enough for team USA tho.... AGAIN.

 

[hawkeye_wx]

Jeez.... Arike is 8-12 from three in the second half.

 

[Franisdaman]

32 points for Arike

all in the 2nd half

LOL

 

[littlez]

32 points in a half. Wow.

 

[TDJ7]

Not good enough for team USA tho.... AGAIN.

Didn't she get picked and tell them to kick rocks?

 

[Chuck C]

Team USA looks like a team that was picked on name recognition instead of merit. Griner is way too old and slow to play in an up tempo game like this.

 

[hawkeye_wx]

Meanwhile, Clark launches one final three and airballs it.

 

[littlez]

Clark looking totally uninspired at the moment.

 

[TDJ7]

Coach Miller the best player in that arena.

 

[dahar]

Meanwhile, Clark launches one final three and airballs it.

Blame the coach.

 

[BioHawk]

Fortunately for them I'm not sure they will play any teams that can do what the WNBA is doing to them but they certainly have provided a blueprint for anyone that wants to try to do it on how to beat them.

 

[LetsGoHawks83]

Looks like the selection committee is clueless.... Like we all thought.


And now looking desperate, challenging down 7 with 16 seconds left

 

[littlez]

There’s a few solid international teams out there. They play like this they could lose

Coaching

 

[BioHawk]

I think Miller told them to slow down to prevent the complete demoralization of the National Team. The WNBA could have won by 30 tonight the way Arike was shooting.

 

[LetsGoHawks83]

So put team WNBA on the plane for Paris?

Taurasi's. "voice" did a lot of good huh?

 

[2D_]

Great game by the All Stars. Just disappointed CC didn't get the all time record or many points.

 

[Franisdaman]

Team All Stars wins 117-109

Arike Ogunbowale had 34 second half points.

Caitlin's stats:

26 minutes (of 40 possible)

0-7 from three
2-2 from two
...........................
2-9 (22%) overall shooting

0-0 FTs

4 Points
10 Assists
2 Steals
1 Defensive Rebound
0 Blocks

 

[Hawksbyamillion]

They always talk like the Olympic team needs Diana because no one else in the league is capable of being a vocal leader…🙄

 

[JimStarr777]

Suck it, Team USA. Looks like you made some poor political choices for players.

 

[doughuddl2]

So put team WNBA on the plane for Paris?

Taurasi's. "voice" did a lot of good huh?

Thought she might cry in the huddle at the end.

 

[doughuddl2]

Who was the guy hugging DT?

 

[Hawksbyamillion]

If they win gold maybe they should hand over their medals to the more deserving team…(I say this somewhat sarcastically but Arike sure as hell deserves it after being snubbed twice).

 

[SunzOutGunzOut]

Who was the guy hugging DT?

Suns/Mercury owner

 

[stillh8unlv]

Great win for the WNBA team, but team USA won't lose in the Olympics. Either of these teams would win gold
