last Olympic berth on offer.

Clippers on Monday and he sat out the teams home loss to Memphis on Thursday
night.

Shelton Jersey . Coach Tom Thibodeau says the former MVP will probably
start travelling with the team in the next few weeks. Rose tore the meniscus in
his right knee at Portland in November and was ruled out for the remainder of
the season by the Bulls. RIO DE JANEIRO -- The nerves were there. Unmistakable.
Unavoidable. Standing in the darkened tunnel before entering Rio Olympic Arena
on Sunday night, the U.S. womens gymnastics team felt the pressure that comes
not from outside expectations but those held within.Then the lights came on.And
just like that, the young women in the glittery red-and-blue leotards national
team coordinator Martha Karolyi has molded into a global force relaxed.And
dominated.On bars. On beam. On vault and floor too. Their not-a-typo score of
185.238 was nearly 10 points better than second-place China through four of the
five subdivisions, a preposterous gap in a sport where the difference between
first and second is measured in fractions.Its never 100 percent perfect but I
think we showed that our gymnastics is of the highest level, Karolyi said.One no
opponent is close to reaching. If the U.S. had swapped out its highest score on
each event with its lowest, it would still be up by six points.Three-time world
champion Simone Biles led the way. Her score of 62.366 was well clear of
teammate Aly Raisman. So much for the butterflies in her stomach.I do a very
good job at hiding it, Biles said. The team, we just calm it down.Consider it a
luxury of being so far beyond the rest of the planet. All five women earned a
spot in either the all-around or event finals, or in the case of Biles and
Raisman, both.Raisman, a three-time Olympic medalist four years ago, grabbed the
second spot in the individual all-around for the Americans by edging reigning
Olympic champion Gabby Douglas thanks in part to what Raisman called the best
bar routine of my life.Rules limit each country to two gymnasts per event in the
all-around and event finals, meaning even though Douglas was third overall,
shell miss out on a chance to defend the crown she won in London. Not that she
was moping. When Raisman drilled her dismount on beam, Douglas rose from her
chair and gave her a hug.A controversial selection to the five-woman team after
a so-so performance at Olympic trials, Douglas validated Karolyis choice with
steady performances all over, including a bars set that earned her a spot in the
individual finals.She said `I believe in you, and you can go out and do it,
Douglas said. At the end of the day that means so much ... beccause shes very
precise.dddddddddddd It feels good.The top eight teams in qualifying move on to
Tuesdays team final, where the U.S. is expected to repeat the gold it won easily
in London and give it to Karolyi as a retirement present. Karolyi is stepping
away after the games, though shes hardly in a hurry to get there. There are
still a few more lessons to teach.My expectations are higher for you than anyone
elses, she said. What Im trying to do is get the most out of every single
person.No wonder Russian gymnastics star Aliya Mustafina figures everybody is
playing for silver.Its going to be really difficult to compete against the
American team, Mustafina said through a translator after the Russians survived a
sometimes shaky qualifying session. They are unbeatable at the moment.China and
Russia both struggled at times on Sunday, beset by mistakes they cant afford to
make if they want to make the team finals anything more than a coronation. While
each have their strengths, the truth is the U.S. has few weaknesses. The margin
for error will be thinner in the three-up, three-count final. Yet after the U.S.
went 16 for 16 during an occasionally showstopping 90 minutes, they hardly seem
overburdened by the stakes.I think all of our hard work was just to show the
world, said Madison Kocian, who put up the top score on uneven bars. I mean were
10 points ahead.Something thats not supposed to happen.Good luck world. Its up
to China, Russia, Great Britain, Brazil, Germany, Japan and the Netherlands to
knock the Americans off their throne. How difficult will it be? Consider this:
the margin between the U.S. and the Chinese on Sunday was greater than the
margin between China and 12th-place Belgium.Romania failed to qualify for the
Olympics as a team for the first time in more than 40 years but will have an
event finalist after Catalina Ponor finished in the top eight on beam.
Uzbekistans Oksana Chusovitina, competing in her record seventh Olympics,
reached the vault final after finishing fifth in qualifying.The 41-year-old
played coy when asked by her 17-year-old son Alisher if this is her last
go-around.Wait and see honey, Chusovitina said with a laugh.
