I'm going to start a "we want stewie" chant. Do you think they'll hear me through the TV ?
 
Now THAT's what I call offensive flow!!! Maya to Tina to BG.

US can't make lay ups, but China can't keep 'em off the boards... so the wrack up the rebounds and finally score.

21 Offensive Rebounds by US.
 
38-60. DOH. Lindsay overthinks, TO and China drives the length for 2. End of 3rd 60-40.
 
USA extended lead in 3rd quarter by superior rebounding. However, USA guards can't stop the ball and China's guards get to the basket when they want. Just can't do it often enough and make their shots. Future USA teams have to get quicker guards or ones that are better defenders. I would like Odyssey to get some minutes.

Didn't think the team looked great and they won by 31 pts. :rolleyes:
 
Wondering if the announcers are correct. Will some team in the Medal Round play zone against Team USA and dare USA to beat them with their outside shooting?
 
Seemed like Stewie and Sims got limited minutes. Anyone know?

I actually thought the one on one defense across the boards was pretty good, but defending on picks was terrible - either leaving an open three or allowing the drive.
 
Could happen. France? Turkey? They can shoot threes.

Pleased with Griner's first game: 15 pts (6/9 FG, 3/4 FT) 7 rebounds, 4 blocks, 0 TO in 17 minutes. Nice line!

Tina a monster on the boards with 15.
 
This may be the first time in Stewie's career that she rode the bench for the 1st half and played less than 1o min-coaches decision.
 
Griner and Tina with very good games. I though in the first part they were having problems on the offensive end with spacing and positioning - almost getting in each others way. It got better as the game went on. I still prefer them not playing together - I think Griner and Dupree, Tina and Nneka would be a better front line - or trade off. It also means they would be less likely to each pick up early fouls and keep a strong center on the court all the time.
 
ESPN3 is not accessible for DirecTV subscribers (like me). But I just luckily discovered that the USA-China game is currently being aired on NBA TV (DirecTV channel 216).

I just checked the schedule, the game tomorrow is also on NBATV
