Happy weekend. Thank you for your support of Daily Thunder. U-S-A.
So this was Nike’s commercial before the 2008 Olympics with the Redeem Team. I feel like it still applies for the 2012 Games. Who’s ready for gold?

Hey guys. Been in San Diego for a week. Can I get a recap?
@cemitten
Oh, and Bryson is a stud on his summer league team.
Other notables:
Someone threw shoes at KD. Did he get mad? No . . . he responded like KD.
The Opening Ceremony outfits did not meet El Prez' criteria for augmenting TSN rating--in fact, they had the opposite effect. Some suggested that JH looked like the general of a small nation and that outfits such as these could get a guy beat up.
Serge rocked on Tuesday.
I owned Jax for about half a day, but that's over now.
Lots of good-hearted people on here.
Epic movie discussion last Sunday evening . . .
That's probably about it. :)
Glad you're back!
@cemitten MisterJohnson thinks the opening ceremonies are an Illuminati ritual and some guys are putting together a DT pick up game.
@cemitten Schedule was released, Kelly Crull isn't returning as the sideline reporter, and some olympic stuff, other than that not that much
@EatSleepThunder @cemitten i asked "where's Cemitten?" before the game vs spain
So i took you guys advice went up to this chick, said hello. She turned looked me in the eyes said "Psh", and walked away. OWNED
@ElMexiThunder http://i36.tinypic.com/117ab6o.gif
Then she did you a favor. You don't need that. :)
Anyone else celebrating the Olympics by hosting a Beerlympics?
@duhsweetness http://www.sbnation.com/london-olympics-2012/2012/7/27/3192250/opening-ceremony-drinking-game-2012/in/2957682 You should have done this last night then.

So this women's game.... 6-0 USA with like 4m to go. Brutal.
@C-Wil USA women smacking Croatia 53-47 end of 3
@CDSpark @C-Wil They were supposed to be heavy favorites, so that's not a good score.
@ou_sas @C-Wil Started out 9-0 in 4th to up it to 15 pt lead
For all this fuss, Dwight Howard's back better be OK.
@Jooseppi Orlando just hired Jacque Vaughn head coach
@DennisBerry might be an ok hire in the long run but in the short run it is not. hennigan gets a guy with low status, so as not to overshadow or outrank him and he gets a spurs guy. he can fire him later after they tank a few years. it is the presti formula.
@Crow @DennisBerry If you're intent on ditching your vets and getting a younger crowd, probably better to have a younger coach too. Maybe you get a Scott Brooks. Maybe you strike out and get a PJ. Either way, can accomplish the goal of restarting in Orlando.
So how did Greece not make into the men's BB bracket? Aren't they usually really good?
@C-Wil lost to Nigeria
@DennisBerry ...........smh.
@DennisBerry @C-Wil and Nigeria will get hammerd by Team USA
James Harden told a local Arizona Paper that if he doesn't get re sign with OKC he will love to play for the Suns
@tydude actually that he'd consider it
I know she's married and has kids with Oklahoma's own Shelden Williams, but I think Russ and Candace Parker look much better together.

@DennisBerry Doesn't anybody look better with her than Shelden WIlliams?
http://a.espncdn.com/combiner/i?img=/i/headshots/nba/players/full/3040.png&w=350&h=254
@Jooseppi @DennisBerry I think the question we should be asking is how did Shelden Williams land Candace Parker?
@C-Wil @Jooseppi @DennisBerry ^
@DennisBerry By the way, what's her other hand doing in that picture?
@DennisBerry Naw. Russ doesn't need that baggage.
women's USA tips off at 10:45 AM on NBC and Olympic Basketball Channel and tomorrow men's game will be on NBCSports
@tydude Thanks I've been looking for the schedule. The guide is about worthless. It just says "women's basketball" for about the next 12 hours.
@Old Man Gamehttp://www.nbcolympics.com/tv-listings/index.html
Looks like my afternoon is planned out: Men's Beach Volleyball!
Morning, Thunder-heads. Enjoyed the opening ceremony last night, and can't wait til tomorrow for basketball.
@ou_sas
And good morning to you! Just the messenger here . . . but there's somthing for you from bmuelle21 about 25 comments down in the last thread.
@ThunderChick2010 @ou_sas And a warning, you'll probably want a fee retainer agreement ready.
@Old Man Game @ThunderChick2010 lol, thanks for the heads up guys.
@Old Man Game @ou_sas
Ou_sas can just send the bill to me. Bmuelle has earned big-time angel points this week.
Marvin, he was a friend of mine
And he could sing a song
His heart in every line
Happy 59th Birthday to TaoMaas, the elder statesman of our DT tribe!
@ThunderChick2010 you beat me this time missy
enjoy your birthday young man. just because there's lots of life in those legs doesn't mean you should paint the town red. paint the city orange and blue!
Anyone else having trouble getting NBC's Olympics streams to work well? Very choppy video on my end.
