Five-ring circus: The Thread of the XXXIII Olympiad

Clark leads the league in turnovers and is at the league average in 3FG%. I fail to see how her other achievements, which are many, overcome the turnovers to the point that she is one of the top 5 guards the US can put on the squad.

 

Court vision. The promise of momentum-creating singular plays.

Maybe some of her "misdeeds" thus far can be partly attributed to having a 3-9 team around her.

 

Christine Brennan isn’t a Trumpist. She’s just been around long enough to say what she really thinks.

But, in using that word, you neatly encapsulated what other analysts and pundits are afraid of being labeled if they say Clark should have been on the team.

 

I would attribute part of it to playing a schedule of teams over their first 11 games that are a combined 46-22. And they play a 9-1 team tonight.

 

A good many analysts and pundits have said and are saying Clark should've been on the team. If they're afraid, it's a funny way of showing it.

 

A good many of them, if we're honest, are outside the women's sports coverage community.

At any rate, moving on.

 

In non-hoops news:

 

There should also be a Community Note that the woman at left is not an Olympian but rather Mrs. Rickie Fowler (Allison Stokke).

 

And that many Olympians are very creative and flexible.

 

Good luck preventing Olympic hookups.

Hanging out in the Olympic Village must be like high school track meet flirting on steroids! So to speak …

 

I have to wonder how many of us here have had sex somewhere other than a bed in a bedroom? I remember a pretty impressive number of adventures through the years...
