US v. China game thread

[pap49cba]

I thought Maya and Sue committed some really bad fouls in the 2nd half. USA will need to step up its perimeter D but overall a good first game. Geno will stop the one-on-one stuff as the tournament moves on. A bit surprised Sims didn't get more minutes... She is clearly the fastest guard and loves to attack the basket.

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.

Probably the same with Odyssey. I was surprised she didn't get in the game earlier considering the US was up by 25. But I am not sure that Geno felt that the team was running smoothly enough and maybe wanted to see the core players get more in sync.

Shot selection was suspect at times and I didn't see anything from China to indicate they could stop the US from getting to the basket. Unless a player has a layup I see no excuse for a player running down court and putting up a shot without working for a high percentage shot.

I hope we get to see more of Sims but it may be hard for her to get much PT with Bird and Whalen firmly entrenched ahead of her.
