Very happy for Team USA winning the Gold.

Also pleased with Suns players Devin Booker and Javale McGee for participating in the Olympics.

The medal ceremony won't take place until the bronze medal game is completed.

I know, why didn't they play that game first.

I like that Booker is on that poster... even though he was nowhere to be found on the court tonight.
Book didn’t have it going but his first 3 shots were 3’s and he never really got a flow. He was on fire last game. Luckily, he played tough defense, drew a few charges and at the end of the game he was in because Pop trusted him. He’s learning and this will only serve him going forward. When you’re able to affect winning without having it going offensively, that’s the sign of a great all around player.

I'm especially happy for Gregg Popovich coaching Team USA to the Gold.

He would have received so much criticism if they hadn't won. The same with Jerry Colangelo.

Fire pop!;):D

That would have been the uproar this morning if Team USA lost.

In the next Olympics they need a different strategy to stop Gobert or at least another athletic big man to help cover him.

Maybe play some zone defense as well and camp in the lane when he goes down low.

Devin Booker and his Gold Medal.

Also Gregg Popovich and Jerry Colangelo together for Olympic celebration. We may never see that again.

I imagine he's referring to the tampering fine he got last season (pre CP3) for saying Booker needs to demand a trade out of Phoenix. Not sure why he'd bring that up again. It only makes him look worse at this point considering how the Suns have improved without Book needing to demand anything.

I can't believe I used to like Draymond. Pre KD Warriors. Of course he didn't talk that much then.

It's not the first time Draymond Green has vented on the Suns. He also did this with Marquese Chriss.

IMO, he says what is on his mind without a lot of prethought about what he is saying and it's ramifications.

He also does things without much thinking beforehand. Remember when he punched a bunch of people in the crotch and missed an Finals game due to suspension? Yeah, screw him.
