you can probably find it somewhere, but on-line it's:
Women's Olympic basketball group phase: Canada vs. USA

 

[bags27]

terrible call against Kia!

 

[j66kicker]

Well that's it for women's soccer team. Sweden 2-1 on penalty kicks.

OK now switch to the b-ball game!!

WHAT, NO SPOILER ALERT? I WAS TAPING THAT!!!

 

[j66kicker]

WHAT, NO SPOILER ALERT? I WAS TAPING THAT!!!

Oops. So sorry.

 

[bags27]

No problem j66kicker: saves me the pain of watching.

EDD continues to look clueless. I know she's got a bad left hand, but maybe the game is just a different tempo than she's used to.

 

[CocoHusky]

Geno trying everything to get a spark. Now has all 4 Minny Players in the lineup .

 

[bags27]

however, this turns out, Canada is a lot better than we (at least I) thought...

 

[Intpseeker]

Hmmm? I don't like one on one offense.

 

[bags27]

Dee's cold, Maya's hot.

 

[Intpseeker]

Kerith!!

 

[EricLA]

I am bummed for the soccer team - not sure why they couldn't win more games. Were they playing too safe? Was it the coaching? Wrong strategies?

 

[j66kicker]

Maya fleeces Kia, takes it all the way for a layup.

 

[EricLA]

Dee's cold, Maya's hot.

She must have heard you LOL . She's heating up now!

 

[EricLA]

Give Canada credit for their defense - we are on track to score 72 points total. Foul trouble did not help us either - 13 fouls for team USA to 8 for team Canada... Of course we held them to 6 points in the quarter so credit our defense too...

 

[j66kicker]

DT for 33333333333333333333!!

And, "just like that" - USA is up 14. Halftime 36-22

it was the quarter finals, so lose and you go home. I saw the regulation time of the game, and the U.S. goal was very lucky (essentially bounced off the head of a defender); otherwise they could have lost then. Happens in soccer, since it's so low-scoring, almost no margin for error.

DT for 33333333333333333333!!

And, "just like that" - USA is up 14. Halftime 36-22

Set up by Stewie, and Sue, Stewie posted hard, got the pass from Sue, triple team back to Sue, touch pass to DT for 3.

 

[Intpseeker]

That screen right behind/above the hoop could be really distracting.

 

[bags27]

EDD has really caught fire. all-around great game.

Great outlet feed by EDD to start the Sue/Stew Seattle Showtime break!

 

[baggerbob]

Seimone really needs to play less minutes, she has the lowest efficiency rating on the team, her rating for most of this game was a negative. The + - really doesn't indicate how you play, but how everyone else played while you are in . Angel , Tamika, and Stewie need to get some of her minutes.

 

[Carnac]

WHAT, NO SPOILER ALERT? I WAS TAPING THAT!!!

Me too. They threw us a 3-2 curve ball (that we weren't looking for) that broke over the plate at the last minute. We literally got caught looking............call strike 3.

EDD has really caught fire. all-around great game.

She reminds of Stewie in that she creates a few "WTF, did she just do that?" moments pretty much every time I watch her play. The future of the USAWBB is in good hands with her and Stewie.
