Speaking of the Olympics, does anyone know how TV coverage of USWNT soccer will work? First live game is July 21, I think, before official opening ceremonies. But it will be played at 4:30am on the east coast and it is a big game for USWNT. They open against Sweden who has been a problem for them. Any insights on how/where to watch?
Ha get ready. The knives are out and have been well sharpened.
Let me throw the first knife. We were terrible down the stretch as we lose 70-67. No one including Stewie who missed an open 3 that would have tied the game could hit a shot.
I only saw the 4th quarter and wow, that was bad. Between the utter lack of offensive flow, the ugly turnovers, and the ice cold shooting, I felt like I was watching a middle-of-the pack SEC game.
The guards are still bad, too much dribbling, by Gray, and Diggins Smith, Loyd, and Atkins.
USA Network.
That's good. Got them all.
Both Ezi and Talbot played well for Australia. They might end up as good without Liz, they spread the floor, leave space for plays to be made. The best USA lineup might be Sue, DT, Collier, Stewie, and A'ja. Let all the others come in at other times. Tina, Griner, and Sylvia can't guard away from the basket. Ezi went around Griner, and Sylvia with no problem.
No way that lineup ever happens.
0-3 for 0 points in 15 mins w/ -16 +/-; 2-4 for 6 points in 17 mins w/ -3 +/-; and 2-5 for 4 points in 10 mins w/-11 +/-. Definitely get why there was no room for Nneka among the bigs.
The only player I was looking at closely was Collier who did not play a minute of the first half and almost all of the 2nd half. While Naphessa looked pretty good on defense, her offense was just not there. Napheesa needs to play in some structure and I do not see that with the USA team. And her 3 pt shot looks horrible. She has way too much arm movement and it looks like an off to the side shotput. Bizarre after her last WNBA game where she was going through the Sparks like Patton. Nerves?
Wow, that was an amazingly accurate prediction.
Out of loyalty I will troll all day, everyday on this one. =)
Expected from say a Lady Vol fan but not the FarmFan. I’m surprised.
You shouldn't be. Cardinal fans are very loyal, just as Nneka was extremely loyal to USA Basketball over the past 4 years and she has contributed as much to women's professional basketball as anyone. Shame that loyalty was returned. I will ride or die with that one.
They weren't today. I don't think any of the players you mentioned are of a caliber of a younger Sue or DT or of a Lindsay Whalen or a Seimone Augustus.
I agree. I am sorry but they are not pure point guards like a Sue or a Lindsay Whalen coming off the bench. They were chosen from the WNBA team with a corresponding big presumably to get the ball inside. Maybe we should press the guards on rotation except when Sue and DT are both in.
Fair enough. Just don’t begrudge UConn players as you are a welcomed guest on this forum.
Bad performances are bad performances. And I didn't single out just UConn players - I singled out the posts who were selected over Nneka.
Why bring it here then? No need to do that here. Nobody here picked the team. Take it to your own board or troll USA BB on twitter.
Never said you did. I recommended you don’t. Just a suggestion.
