Game Thread - USA v CZE

[Wonkster]

European teams seem to have great 3 point shooters. What fundamentals are they coaching that the USA coaches aren't. The European players aren't as athletic as USA players but seem to be better shooters when left wide open.

Geno, in his first interview with Svetlana in Storrs after she arrived from Russia -

Geno: "What do you like to do most in basketball, Svetlana?"

Sveta: "Shoot."

Geno: "What else do you like to do?"

Sveta: "Shoot."

It isn't just Europeans who try to win with 3's, the Asian teams do, as well. What kind of options do they have when their average player is 6 inches shorter than her American counterpart? They're not going to win it in the post.

-I ... I don’t know… I just find it unbearable get so upset whenever anyone seems to use a bear’s name in vain.
-Somehow I was afraid you were trying to get this past the censors by using a clever alternate spelling of,… well, you know who.
- I'm so sorry.
