Gold Medal Game

[HoopsFan21]

These refs are terrible

 

[BigBird]

22 point lead! This is a good thing.

 

[Kaizen]

Dee has 3 three.....

 

[BigBird]

81-52 after three. We've a real shot at this thing. "Just have to make plays...."

Drysdale is making Carolyn Peck sound coherent by comparison.

These refs are terrible

Actually, it looks like they are in the tank. Unbelievable what they don't see and make up.

 

[HoopsFan21]

DT on fire right now from 3

 

[HoopsFan21]

Stewie back in!

 

[HoopsFan21]

what's up with all travel calls?

 

[HoopsFan21]

Stewie for 3!!!

Geno crying
Probably as much relief as joy and sadness (last time with Sue and maybe Dee). But relief because a loss would have been worse than a win is great.

 

[Kibitzer]

USA! Gold! Again!

"We had 'em all the way!"​

 

[warbler1055]

Geno was more emotional than I ever I saw him!!! Hugging and crying!!! Did Sue cry also when the team was facing the fans? Could this be the last time we will see them together?

Spain has the Guards to give Team USA a Game. But in every other position they fall way short. Sancho Little would have helped keep the game closer, but she would not have been enough. Until other countries develop dominant wings and post players to go along with good/great guards don't think they can catch up to USA at the Senior Level. Can't think of a single player from another country that could have cracked USA's starting lineup.

Ahh, you must have never heard Ann Meyers call a game. This is how she ALWAYS is. Although today she is giving a gold medal performance in run on sentences and random stream of consciousness.

Ugh. She seriously drives me crazy. She knows the game inside and out, but she cannot speak in sentences.

Brittney, Tina will be back, Imani Boyette, A'Ja Wison should join them, and Nneka, along with Stewie , and EDD, Angel should have one more go. Moriah, Maya, Sims, and either Diggins, or Loyd as your 4th guard. Brittney, Stewie, EDD, Maya, and either Moriah, or Sims, an explosive starting 5, with quickness and size on the wings. You have to guard EDD, Stewie, and Maya out to the 3 point line, which lets Brittney operate in the lane. With that lineup Cambage would be in a lot of foul trouble, and she doesn't get up, and down the floor fast.

 

[sarals24]

Imani Boyette? Seriously?

 

[Ctpaul0825]

USA USA USA

 

[bags27]

Dee may well have one more in her

 

[Kaizen]

Imani Boyette? Seriously?

I doubt this. Imani is #10 draft in 2016 WNBS draft.
There are 9 people ahead of her, minus Stewie and Moriah there are Tuck, Banham, A. Powers, J. Jones, Cooper, C. Williams and T. Mitchell.

 

[Wbbfan1]

Wondering if EDD will consider playing overseas this year to get more international experience. I thought she would have a huge Olympics with her outside shooting. Had problems with the physical play and I also thought she might have deferred to some of her teammates when she had open looks.

Don't count out Augustus and fowles.
