Are there any rowers out there who have set multiple attendance records at rowing venues across the country? Are there any rowers out there who have set tv viewership records on every single network that televises rowing? Are there any rowers out there who have inspired countless kids in the 8-15 year old age range to take up the sport of rowing? And if so, are those rowers arguably good enough to be on the Olympic rowing team but got left off so some 42-year-old rower could collect their 6th gold medal for doing next to nothing?
Holiday missed the Puerto Rico game because he injured his ankle in the previous game against South Sudan. You’re just flinging shit against the wall at this point.
That's possible but I doubt it. Remember, she got screwed over for the Tokyo Olympics as well. She's been down this road a few times.
Is there an "attendance" issue at the Olympics?
Let’s do a quick comparison of how the Olympics are going so far for Jrue Holiday and Diana Taurasi:
USA vs Japan, which was a rematch of the gold medal game from the 2020/21 Olympics, drew just 13,000 in attendance. That was about half of the attendance at most other games and by far the lowest of any game so far.
But CC isn't a moron so that's not something we have to worry about.
So?
I’m not even sure what point you think you’re making anymore. I pointed out that DT followed a very pedestrian 2 points/1 assist/ 3 rebounds performance against Japan by missing all three of her shots against Belgium and failing to register a single positive stat in the boxscore.
If you think Taurasi has no value to the team, post stats for that team, and some others.
Why are your buds posting attendance comparisons for the last game of the day, when most people are going to bed?
I have no idea what you’re talking about and I don’t care. I’ve been out and about and just started at the end of the thread. Don’t really care to read back through it for the play by play.
Lol. We've reached the point in the thread where JP becomes desperate and resorts to blatantly lying and making up fake quotes because he has absolutely nothing else he can do.
This is actually the quote/video - from Staley - I posted pages ago.
Almost as amusing as you fabricating a completely bogus quote and attributing it to me.
Had the game on in the background but wasn’t ‘watching’ the second half. Did Gray or DT even play in the 2nd half? Definitely a transfer of power to the young guard over veterans in this Olympics.
But she was effectively ‘league average’ when selected which was better than the one player who hadn’t played prior to the selection.
Box score shows those two didn't do jack shit. Young went off though.
The fact that she is not only on the team but actually also starting defies all explanation. First possession of the game she mishandled a pass that almost became a turnover except that it went out of bounds off a Germany player. Then she gave up a 3-pointer, and then she badly missed a 3-pointer on her only shot attempt of the game.
Stewart and Wilson need to go. Only 2 assists and 4!!!!! Turnovers. Bench them. Turnovers are very important in international basketball!!!!!! A 1:2 ratio is worse than 1:1.Box score shows those two didn't do jack shit. Young went off though.
