Las Vegas - Gonna swing back over to Japan and take a small taste of Germany's Alexander Zverev to win the gold against Karen Khachanov. Apparently, the match will go in the middle of the night EST, 3:35 AM, and 12:35 AM here in Vegas. But DON'T quote me. Not even gonna get into the ramifications of the Russian kid named Karen. Just TOO much to unpack. However, we can tell you that Zverev's full name is Alexander 'Sascha' Alexandrovich Zverev. Yea, both of his parents are from Russia, and Alexander would LOVE to beat Khachanov. And with his confidence SKY HIGH after knocking out Novak Djokovic, gotta throw a few Rubles at the Big Z!

Of course, I totally botched the time in Japan once again, because this is what you shoulda read...

Bouncing over to the basketball court and gonna try the USA -24 points over the Czech Republic. After losing to France in the opener, the USA brought out the BIG bucket brigade in the last game against Iran, blowing out to a RIDONKULOUS 120-66 win. How did the Czechs do against Iran? Beat 'em by ONLY six points, 84-78. Think that the Stars & Stripes are ready to hunt for gold, and should win by at least 30. Call it Czech MATE!!!

If you looked, it was the USA 119-84 over the Czechs!!!
