Olympics US Women 3x3

[eebmg]

Could have been more painful as we missed 3 FT's . Good even performances from Stef, Allisha and Plum. Young will have to pick it up for the final, She looks alot like her first year in the WNBA where she could not make a mid range shot.

Allisha kept taking off her glasses at times and played maybe better. Hmmm


By the way, when is the second semifinal?

By the way, when is the second semifinal?

Believe the listed time was 5:10. I assume it will be shortly after this Russia/Serbia men’s semi.

Young 28th out of 32 with 16 pts.

ROC wins 21-14l China could lot buy a 2pt shot.

Finals are at 8:55 am this morning.

Finals are at 8:55 am this morning.

and for diehards, the bronze game between China and France is 7:45. The game to get on the podium can be just as intense as the gold medal game.

I thought Kara Lawson was to be the side line coach for the Women’s 3+3 team.
I don’t see her there? Can anyone explain this to me.

As in tennis, coaches can't give out instructions in-game.

Just caught the replay of the US semifinal. Gotta love Stef laying a couple of her patented blindside screens on the unsuspecting French players.

SACRE BLEU MERE STEF!!!

Game against ROC is on USA if you want to watch it.

 

[Wbbfan1]

Team USA leading but have missed some point blank layups. They should have a 8 point lead instead of 5 point lead. Russia has committed 6 fouls which could be use down the stretch.

 

[Wbbfan1]

USA now will be shooting two foul shots on all fouls with 4 minutes left... USA up 5 Points. Should be more.

 

[Wbbfan1]

Stef missing free throws and bas passes. Russia cuts lead to three points. USA playing sloppy.

 

[rvwsleep]

If we win this game, it'll be on the free throw line. ROC over the foul limit.

 

[hoopsfan22]

LOL Stef has never committed a foul in her life

 

[rvwsleep]

Up 15-11. 1:16 left.
Dolson hits 2 free throws
17-11

 

[hoopsfan22]

Gold medal for the U.S.

 

[oldude]

YES!!!!!!

 

[Wbbfan1]

Stef did make two free throws and a key basket down the stretch to hold off Russia. Didn't play great until the end. USA Wins Gold 18-15.

 

[rvwsleep]

Gold
18-15 final score

 

[oldude]

Great effort by the US team. Good team defense. Stef was a monster on the boards. I don’t think the US hit a single shot from the arc, but they forced contact throughout the game, putting the ROC in jail with 10 fouls.

Congrats Big Mama Stef! You played great.

Stefanie Dolson, Olympic Gold Medalist!

Who were those recruiters who thought she couldn't play at the highest level??
