US vs Japan Tuesday

[bags27]

I'm now seeing a 5:45 EST tip-off. Is that right? I had earlier seen a morning game scheduled.

 

[DaddyChoc]

5:45pm is correct and France vs Canada at 9:15pm... on the same channel that you watched it on the last time

Yep- 5:45 PM on NBC Sports (ch 220 on DirecTV).

BTW, the men's team's QF is tomorrow, same bat time and channel.

Other games all day on the basketball channel. I'm guessing that's NBA TV.

Excellent column in Boston Globe today by analyst Gary Washburn discussing disapointing performance thus far by men's team ("grinding out ugly wins in pretty uniforms").

Washburn is highly critical of the team's poor defense (especially vs. pick-and-roll) and lack of leadership on the court. An astute critique. I couldn't resist posting a comment:

"The women's team gets it."

(So I did my duty.)

That's how I read the schedule, 5:45pm

Watching Australia vs. Serbia. USA network, not NBA.

Maya has 3 three, DT has 2 three

With the US height advantage I'm surprised they aren't pounding the ball into the post...

Japan is pretty good today with several long shots.

Don't want to be chicken little, but not in love with Sue's demeanor on the bench after she left limping.

 

[EricLA]

Japan really taking it to Team USA in the 2nd quarter. Only down 2 points. Yikes! Taping the game so i can't watch it yet but what the heck is going on?

 

[Checkmate]

Japan is very well coached

 

[iri10]

Hoping Bird is all right, both for her sake and team USA. After Whalen's session, USA had to run a good chunk of the 2nd quarter with Taurasi doing the PG position (sort of).

Aside: I love watching Olympic-mode Angel McCoughtry.

Really worried because the replay did not show any twist to her ankle which makes it more likely a knee - I hope it was a charlie horse, but ...

 

[UcMiami]

And maybe the last couple of shots is why Augustus is on the team!

But not the first couple. What happened to Money? She missed more than I expected her to.

Maybe she had to warm up.

Whalen was playing with a ME attitude while she was in the game. Its okay to drive it to the basket once in a while, but when she's shut off, she's got to pass the ball instead of forcing shots. DT can run the offense if Sue is unable to play, but she gives up quickness to the Japanese guards. Glad Japan is giving USA a game, but not enough for them to pull off the upset.

Japan is playing Paul-Ball and executing well. They have 7 treys. Hopefully we can tire them out.

I didn't like Sue's facial expression. She's looks concerned. So do I.

Geno should put in one of those young PGs we took to the Olympics. Oh wait...we didn't.

Sue's sitting at beginning of 2nd half, and by look on her face at end of 1st half....

that Whalen is not starting either says volumes about what Geno thought about her play in the 1st half.

 

[MilfordHusky]

Sue is fighting back tears. Ugh!
