No. I meant the men's 10k. Of course, I just took what the NBC announcer said for fact. It was obviously an error. I do know that is what the NBC announcer said.

Bogdan choked pretty hard today. Two wide open three's in the last minute and clanked'em both.

NBC announcer must have misspoke, still a very impressive time.

It's worth watching the highlight of the end of the game if you haven't seen it. USA up 3, Croatia gets a great wide-open look at a 3 with 5 seconds left that would have taken it to overtime, but they just miss it. Team USA needs to get their shit together.

I heard that Team USA is partying pretty hard in Rio. There was a mini-scandal recently where several of them were spotted going in to a brothel.

"Apparently, the group, which TMZ said included DeMarcus Cousins, DeMar DeRozan and DeAndre Jordan... "

The odds that they all have the same beginning to their names is absurd.

Four "De"'s for three people. Good grief. A brothel in a place like Rio? Do they have a death wish?

Death wish? Why? It's not like they're picking up girls in the streets at downtown Rio.

USA up by 6 vs. France in the 4th quarter.

Is it just me or is this team unimpressive. 2 very close, to the wire games. Now this. When they started out with a couple of blow out wins, experts couldn't stop ranting and raving about this squad possibly breaking records for margin of victory. Apparently they read their own clippings because it's been the opposite since.

Well, the list of stars who decided not to participate is a pretty long one. And let's face it, if you're looking for Klay Thompson to pull you ass out of the fire, your team isn't one of the all-time greats!

It's pretty puzzling how this team can be so bad defensively, and maybe they started to take the opposition to lightly when they crushed China in the first game.

Either way, they've underwhelmed.

I can see why they are not dominant. A bunch of first time Olympians and they haven't practiced very much. They are winning by individual skill alone thus far. Put the Warriors or the Cavs out there and they would dominate. (Minus their international players of course. Fill them in with top players.)

This team sucks. A bunch of individual scorers and very few playmakers. Very reminiscent of the 2004 squad. Sorry, but Lowry, Derozen, Butler, Klay and even Draymond shouldn't be out there. Think about it, in 2012, Melo was coming off the bench.

OK. Anyone else annoyed as much as I was with Olympic golf. Its boring. I can fall asleep to golf any Sunday afternoon I want. All they could talk about was who was not there. The coverage was odd, breaking away mid-sentence, and mid-shot for commercials and breaking back in mid-sentence (not that there was anything to miss). I would rather watch table tennis or badminton or something.

Olympic golf is the worst idea ever.

The problem is that you actually watched. I'm not annoyed at all. Haven't even seen a flicker of it on my television screen. And it sounds like you are knocking table tennis. Watching Olympic table tennis is awesome.

Olympic ping pong was amazing to watch. They were so skilled, it blew me away. Their serves in particular, I can't even tell how they do them.

Oh no. I would LOVE to watch table tennis over golf. Like I said, I can fall asleep to golf every Sunday. I would find Olympic table tennis interesting.
