Game thread - US vCanada

[Wbbfan1]

Tina is having a poor game, missing so many easy shots. Her defense has been okay.

 

[flatcoatmom]

Angel just got body-checked out of bounds - apparently not a foul?

 

[flatcoatmom]

Dee brought it dwon the sideline, layup and drew the foul - US 53-28, 4:14 to go in 3rd. Parker to Dee, another 2.

 

[flatcoatmom]

LeBron James, Kobe Bryant both in the house -

 

[meyers7]

Gonna pour it on the rest of the way.

 

[flatcoatmom]

Lindsay hits 2 free throws - now 57-28.

 

[meyers7]

Angel beautiful drive.

 

[meyers7]

Ok I'll watch the rest later on DVD, off to Boston for the day. Seeing my oldest's new apt.

 

[flatcoatmom]

Little Laila sleeping in grandma's arms - dad is there but busy texting. Swin and Ashja now in. 1 min plus left.

 

[flatcoatmom]

Lindsay now running the point - Swin, Ashja, Seimone, Angel. 3rd Q almost over. 66-28.

 

[flatcoatmom]

68-31 at end of 3Q - the announcers are deep into blather mode - oh yeah - there's still a game going on - blah, blah, blah.

 

[flatcoatmom]

4th Q - long 3 for Smith from Canada - because US in zone - Whelan, Cash, Seimone, Fowles, Jones in.

 

[flatcoatmom]

Interview w/Candace's husband - talking about needing to get Laila ready to go out - funny to hear NBA player talking about getting a 3-year-old to the potty.

 

[flatcoatmom]

79-40 US, 6 min to go. US working on running their offense, regardless of the opponent. Fowles working under the basket, looking good.

 

[flatcoatmom]

Beautiful Maya play at 5:20 left - pass from Lindsay on the break, Maya catches it and shoots while in midair - awesome!!

 

[flatcoatmom]

83-40 w/3:57 left.

 

[johnnyc]

Maya never lets up.

 

[flatcoatmom]

Another awesome Maya play w/3 min left - she cuts to the basket, gets a pass from the key and hits the layup while offbalance and in the air.

 

[flatcoatmom]

Will move to a bigger venue for the last games - 20,000 capacity - they equate it to Staples Center. 91-48 w/ 30 sec left.

 

[flatcoatmom]

15 steals in the game, limited Canada to 31% shooting. 5 players for US in double figures, 2 others w/ 9 - Ashja only one not to score. Final score 91-48.

Thanks for the thread.

Just got back from lunch after the Triathlon.

I won't leak the results, but the Hyde Park crowd was very loud.

Misty and Kerry in 2-1/2 hours.

 

[flatcoatmom]

Candace post-game interview again - 6/8 shooting. Said the ankle is fine.

 

[flatcoatmom]

Off to get some work done - hope the game on Thursday is at a better time for everyone!

 

[pap49cba]

Dee with 15, Parker and Fowles with 12, Angel and Maya with 11.

Candace post-game interview again - 6/8 shooting. Said the ankle is fine.

Being the 6th man on Geno's team may be better than starting.
