Opals: Staring down the China Syndrome
DEEP, deep, deep doggy-do. That's what the Opals played themselves into with the heaviness of their opening intragroup loss to Belgium, which now will make qualifying for the playoffs through China an absolute must tomorrow night in Tokyo.
B&B: Boom times with Mahersy
WITH the Tokyo Games now in full swing, Brad Rosen and I sought out another triple-Olympian to discuss the comings-and-goings, finally securing our top priority in Brett Maher for this week's Brad&Boti podcast.

Giannis the giant as Bucks wrap it up
THEY call him the "Greek Freak" and Giannis Antetokounmpo showed exactly why today with 50 points, 14 rebounds, two assists and five blocks to lead Milwaukee Bucks to the club's second NBA championship with a resounding 105-98 Game 6 victory.
Opals boost and USA starting to track upward
DESPERATELY unlucky to be omitted from Australia's team for the Tokyo Olympic Games, Sara Blicavs' late call-up is a huge bonus for the Opals, while the USA men are now looking at a golden opportunity in Japan.
