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

Arike should be on that team
She's been doing this since leading Notre Dame to the National Championship
Mercury players seem to love CC 😂
The only thing comparable were some of those 70s and 80s MLB All Star games when it meant something to win to the players.
Clark is shooting 40.5% overall this season and 32.7% from three.
Arike is shooting 35.7% overall this season and 34.0% from three.
Arike is averaging 7 more shots per game than Clark.

You nailed it.
The selection process was a joke. Arike Ogunbowale was over the “politics.” The Dallas Wings star revealed that she took her name out of the USA Basketball pool for the 2024 Paris Summer Olympics because she felt the selection process had little to do with “your game.”

The Dallas Wings star revealed this week she bowed out of the USA Basketball pool for the 2024 Paris Olympics because she felt the selection process was too political.

LOL. The ladies after the game saying that it was tough for team USA, because they couldn't scout the All-star team..... Cause the all-star team is just playing and not running set plays.
Diana Taurasi feels like that mentor that no one needs or asked for.

She's not wrong. It's a hard stance to take, cause everyone would love to win an Olympic medal.
USA basketball is allowed to be political, because they have an embarrassment of riches. They can pick and choose based on politics and still have a team that dominates.
If the competition was nipping at their heels, they'd have a reason to actually choose the very best.... Not a "player coach" do she can get her 15th gold medal.
Caitlin better than Plum and Arike better than Tarausi.
Hmmm. All? You mean like the other night when she put up 24 and 19? Multiple ankle breaking drives to the basket? We;ll see if her shot comes around after a few weeks of rest....A couple of notes. The one game where she lit it up for 7 threes I believe was when they had 5 or 6 days between games. She's also still 3rd in the league on made three's.....
I can feel for Team USA. I’d be pretty bummed, too if I knew I’d just lost the only game that anyone would be watching me play.
Looks a lot like the B1G championship against Nebraska. Clark had 4 points in the first half and 31 in the second.....
So she's just taking more shots then Clark. Shocking, considering what the last 20 minutes looked like......
Nobody is going to watch Team USA, especially after tonight's showing.
They don't even have the best players playing.

Was thinking this the entire game, and especially taking in the last WNBA games I saw all four of them play. Plum looked horrible, Tarausi slow and old, and Caitlin and Arike…on fire.
This is so pretty. And the 2 rookies schooling the 6'9" Griner is so much fun. And all 6'4" Breanna Stewart can do is watch.
She certainly deserves a vacation! As do I…I’m ready to take a break from watching basketball nonstop since November 😉
Just think reeves gave the excuse that cc didn’t get to practice with the national team so she couldn’t really be considered.
Lot of good those practices did, you just lost to a team of people that don’t play together.
I was at the game. So cool seeing so many little girls and boys rocking 22’s and yelling go hawks. CCs reach is special
