Getting a lot of buffering. Anyone Else?

 

[BigBird]

38 all @ 15 sec, Q2

 

[BigBird]

DT puts USA up by 1 at the half...

 

[Shades]

40-39 USA at the half.
Can Belgium play USA and their depth for a full 40 minutes?

 

[BigBird]

46-46 @ 8:15, Q3

 

[BigBird]

Pulling for USA of course, but I love watching Emma. She’s just plain good in all facets of the game.

 

[VAMike23]

This team could use Tiffany Hayes IMO

 

[VAMike23]

Nifty pass.......

 

[BigBird]

USA up ten...

 

[Samanthabrown3]

But Belgium not giving up. They just don't have the horses to stay with the USA.

 

[Samanthabrown3]

I saw Breanna's mom in the stands, and I thought I got a glimpse of Penny Taylor, too. Anyone else see anybody?

 

[BigBird]

73-57 after 3Q

 

[VAMike23]

Now 16......

 

[BigBird]

I saw Breanna's mom in the stands, and I thought I got a glimpse of Penny Taylor, too. Anyone else see anybody?

Penny was among my fave WNBA players. She wasn’t typically spectacular, but like Emma, Taylor did most everything well. She was one tough baller.

 

[BigBird]

The rout is on...

 

[Samanthabrown3]

One of the things that I really enjoy about this game is seeing how good the USA players have become, especially the UConn players. Tina would never have been able to make that midrange fadeaway shot in her college years.

 

[Samanthabrown3]

Wow. USA up by 18.

 

[BigBird]

One of the things that I really enjoy about this game is seeing how good the USA players have become, especially the UConn players. Tina would never have been able to make that midrange fadeaway shot in her college years.

When they play the team game, they are just about unbeatable. The only way they could lose is to go daffy on their shot selection.

 

[BigBird]

So, Samantha... who you got in the next round?

 

[bbsamjj]

With about 2:30 left to go, USA has 24 assists on 32 made baskets.

 

[Samanthabrown3]

So, Samantha... who you got in the next round?

Hey, no looking ahead! Oh. . . only 2½ minutes to play.

Okay. Can anyone beat a team with Liz Cambage on it?

 

[BigBird]

DT drops 13 in the quarter...she’s not bad. She’s baaaaad...

 

[Samanthabrown3]

DT drops 13 in the quarter...she’s not bad. She’s baaaaad...

Here's one place where a player hasn't changed since college. Diana has always put her team on her back when they needed her.

 

[BigBird]

Huge home court edge for Spain. And sometimes, Liz gets frustrated and takes herself out of the flow.
