its pretty boring to watch team usa especially against this incredibly unfairly weak group

perhaps they just wanted to hold off on the good match ups


the real games to watch are Spain and Brazil and Arg and the Philippines

Pau by the way looks insane right now
best he's looked in years

Tell that to the New Zealand All Blacks. I take it, you don't watch or follow international rugby.

Yeah... this happened.

Haka dance aside, James Harden led the guards with 13 points, four assists and two steals... so I would say he had a bounce back performance.

Is Steven Adams playing?

Doesn't surprise me, actually. LAL seemed like a pretty bad situation for him since PMFJB retired from coaching. Particularly, with Magic Mike.

ignorance aside they're easily the most dominant rugby team.

No, he didn't play, because the New Zealand couldn't pay the insurance, which was only around 30.000 $ i think.
