Olympic Games Rio 2016

[The Flash]

There is that too ... if some players had not dropped out over not wanting to go to Rio .. he would be nowhere near that team. Green also was nursing some injuries in the playoffs last year and played a ton of games over the past two years with the Warriors .. that may have factored in as well.

Yeah that has to be a major reason as well, especially considering the intensity with which Draymond plays.

.. and sometimes that intensity turns into stupidity, which Coach K probably did not like too much

Other day I'm going to post my thoughts, as a Brazilian, about Rio 2016.

Please do.

I just need to find some time. I'm too busy right now.

But, yes, I'll do!

Probably due to the time difference and the terrible coverage on television, I never got into the mood for these games and was barely able to follow anything. It just went by.

Good idea, I thought of it last week.

I am very disappointed about Russia not being disqualified as a country. There was a hugely organized doping policy. For the athletes from other countries, I don't think it is fair to let sporters take part when they come from a corrupt system.

Not welcome as a country anymore at the Olympic Games.

Ain't seen a neutral ice hockey team yet.

The players can compete individually though. Just a goalie is all they need.

Best Russian goalie won't be allowed, sadly. I'm sure there's some in the KHL who are pretty good.

Team North America and Team Europe is as close as we've gotten... Would be interesting to see if it segue ways into the Olympics

But it seems there's no guarantee the KHL will let its players participate either

They might if they REALLY want to stick it to the NHL.
