Durant and Westbrook at the beach volleyball instead of women's USA game. Gotta say, great choice there. Beach volleyball is fantastic and the atmosphere at the games seems great. In the game about an hour ago, the fans were doing the conga around the top level of the stadium. It was a pretty big conga line too.

Really? Could've sworn I saw Westbrook and LeBron in the stands watching the women's team today. Maybe he left early/arrived late. Love the way that Angel McCaughtry plays too, btw. She's like Pippen on defense.

The team is all WNBA players. Their season is on hiatus for the Olympics I guess, like the NHL did during the Winter Olympics. Brittney Griner of Baylor was supposed to be on the team too but they were saying she declined for some reason.

I'm watching the GB/Russia women's game.

GB's ball handling's pretty hard to watch...Great rebounders despite being short as hell...Or maybe that's just for tonight. They've also done a great job of playing the passing lanes.

Just got back from Luthuania vs France and Aussies vs China. David Anderson put in some work and China are actually sort of fun to watch. Will be interesting to see who qualifies out of Aus, GB, and China.

Lithuanians continued to dominate the arena.
