Ouch, Big Syl. Don't look at the bench. LOL.

She might have just been traveling to fast on that break. Did everything right except putting it down, bounced it off the back rim.
 
Pedestrian game for Team USA. Many players look like they're just going through the motion, playing with minimal emotions. Understandable to some extent due to the big lead. This is not a quick team especially at the guard position. Brazil is doing a creditable job on the boards. It will be interesting to see how this team plays when it goes up against the post players of Russia and Australia. Still expect to see team easily win the Gold Medal.

Nneka would bring energy and emotion! Many wondering (and tweeting) why she isn't on the team.
 
The problem for Nneka is the team is so incredibly deep and she is in her first NBA season. I think if it was next summer she might have made it.
 
Whelan playing a lot of minutes in Sue's absence.

Yeah it's mostly timing for Nneka - she is good enough to be on the team and playing well enough this summer

She can play with the 4's that are on the court now. And I still think she is more versatile and athletic than Griner, so if Griner was asked and turned it down, Nneka should have been asked to try-out.
 
Plenty to work on. Plenty good for a first exhibition game. No problem with any of that.
 
Lin Dunn tweeted that but wouldn't say who she would take off the team to add Nneka. Don't forget Griner was supposed to be on the team which would have meant Ashja Jones wouldn't have made the team and neither would have Nneka. Not sure who I would have added, but I would prefer another guard on the team instead of either Swin, Ashja or Nneka. Team USA had depth in the front court and could use a lock down defender at guard as well as more quickness at that position.

I don't agree with that logic as it pertains to assembling the team at the time it was being assembled

With what? that with another year and experience that she probably would have made it?

disagree with waiting another yr, she is good enough to be on he team now.

I agree, but the depth and her lack of international experience worked against her.
