Sue didn't miss a beat: 8 points, 4 rebounds, 5 assists, 3 steals, and 0 turnovers.
Maya didn't shoot so well today, but she had 8 boards and 4 steals. Catch had 4 steals and Angel had 6. Long arms and good anticipation result in easy buckets in the other direction.
The opening round in London is a rematch. Can we beat those guys again?

Feinberg's story updated with quotes from Sue and others. It's been a tough week for Sue but being with her extended family will help:
"It's been emotional. Obviously he wasn't my father, but has been in my life for 16 years. He meant so much to my mom," said Bird, fighting through tears. "These things are tough. It's good to be back, everyone's been so great. In a way even though I'm not with my biological family this is an extension. They make me laugh and I don't have to think about anything else so it's really nice."
Bird, who missed exhibition games against Brazil and Britain, said there was never any doubt that she would still play in the Olympics.
"If I had a penny for every time somebody at the wake or funeral said to me Dennis wants you to go win a gold medal," she said. "I know I was where I was supposed to be the last week and I feel like I'm where I'm supposed to be now."
Bird fondly remembered the man who had been a huge part of her basketball career from her high school days at Christ the King in New York to her college years at Connecticut.
"He was always around. He was the kind of guy who was very infectious and always in a good mood," she said. "He literally never was in a bad mood. Always wanting to be friends with everyone, supporting everyone. Forget me, he thought these guys were his daughters as well. That's the way he treated everyone. He was great for my mom. They were very good for each other, good companions, she's going to miss him a lot and we all are."

Sue is always in the right place--on or off the court.
