Olympic women's basketball tournament (5x5) (SPOILER ALERT)

Well, France’s coach never adjusted against Japan. Not sure, if she has the “woman-power” to do so. I thought that a smaller line up could have matched Japan’s speedy backcourt. Japan was running circles around France’s bigs. Once the 3’s started dropping for Japan, the triple threat was in effect. There was nothing that France could do. You could see it in their body language.
 
I think Pheesa looked more and more comfy in the few minutes she was in.
Made a shot and some free throws, hustled and looked far from lost...Diggins too, trying to face guard Anderson...did a pretty good job.

Serbia has some talent. Looking at several of their players, especially from behind (with their ponytails etc.), I was reminded of Nika. Anyway...

Was impressed with Anderson. She almost single handedly seemed to keep Serbia in the game when USA was starting to pull away.

FWIW, Anderson is the daughter of current St. John’s coach Mike Anderson who has been a pretty successful MBB coach for a long time, with stops at UAB, Missouri, and Arkansas. He apprenticed as an assistant to “40 minutes of hell” Nolan Richardson.

I think their swimsuits have a micro vacumn that sucks up the splash. Gold medalist Quan Hongchan (14 year old) blows the Olympic record up. 3 of her 5 dives were perfect 10's across (24 of 35 judges gave 10 on her 5 dives) all judges

I've never seen anything like Quan's entry. Did you notice that she goes in with no splash, then a second or so later there's a big burp of air that comes up?
 
When is the Gold Medal game? I have it set to record for Sunday...at 6am (PT), but another schedule I read on ESPN said the game is Sat at 7:30pm (PT).

I'm probably the only one, but when I saw the Serbia coach.... I thought it was Coach Bluder from Iowa for a second. But anyway...

That was my first chance to see the women play... glad to see that Gray is earning her keep

Sadly, I think that she retired her white jacket with a giant bedazzled Serbian flag on the back. Maybe Kim stole it and is replacing the logo with a tiger head.
 
At least a quarter of the team not knowing how to play spades???

Why was Gabby suspended?

Because she decided to play for the France team and to practice with them instead of playing with the Chicago Sky. So the Sky suspended her for the season and avoided having to pay her.
