Pardon the interruption but I'm Mike Wilbon Tony, you're not the only one hosting from home today.

Tony Cornhese from home? That seems unprofessional, doesn't it?

So is remarkably comfy.

All the comforts of... Oh wait, home.

Home, yeah, no, it's fun. Yeah, how do we get away with this? It's really actually fun to go to work. Welcome to PTI boys and girls. In today's episode, the WMBA All Stars Pete Team USA.

Xander Sharpley wins the British Open and the Dodgers sweep the Red Sox.

But we begin today with the United States Olympic basketball team beating Germany by four points this afternoon.

This was a close game but not as close as the nail bider over South Sudan over the weekend.

Wilbon, Germany is one of the contenders to get a medal.

They have Dennis Schreuter and the Wagner brothers and Daniel Tice.

You have said the United States team is in jeopardy of losing a game or two in the Olympics.

Did this game change or enforce your opinion?

Tone, I think it reinforced it, and I still expect the United States to win the

gold medal. I expect the US team to do that.

They're the most talented team. But the word I've been using most often is pushed.

I expect the United States to get pushed and the South Sudan

game was a stunter because they're not loaded with current NBA players like Germany is and

Germany you know it has some credibility from recent

Phoebei-Beba competitions and Tony LeBron James had to rescue the US team again today.

He did it in the final eight seconds of the game over the weekend

against South Sudan and then he did it repeatedly in the fourth quarter. I don't think of

this team as needing that.
