The whole scene at these Olympics has made me grumpy but now I’m just ticked off. Got up in the middle of the night to watch Japan play at a level above what the US is capable of. They deserved the win.

Can’t help but wonder how a younger, looser, less experienced, nothing to prove, nothing to lose Team USA might have done.

Our game plan was tight, off balance and uber conservative in all 6 games.

Where’s the fun? Where’s the risk? Where’s our swagger? Where’s our game?

Great job by the players.

When your only goal is not to lose, it can be hard to actually win sometimes.

This team was built to maximize defense. They went with experience and it showed all the way through. Even showed this morning. But when you are desperate for every run and you're not confident in the next hit, you do reckless things. It worked for most of the Games; didn't work this morning.

I don't mean to say that a Silver medal is not an accomplishment, but when you walk in expecting no worse than second and you end up second, that's disappointing.
