US vs Japan Tuesday

[JellyBean]

Big grin on Geno's face after that sequence.

Sue standing outside the circle on the time out. Our hearts bleed for her....

So true. Our hearts go out to Sue.

Send positive energy Sue's way gang. Let's not jump the gun.

 

[MilfordHusky]

We're scoring on every possession. I like our chances. We have adjusted, and Japan looks fatigued.

 

[JellyBean]

Stewie!!!

 

[MilfordHusky]

99-62 with 4:2o left

 

[EricLA]

FIBA must have special rules for Cambage. She can push, shove and do whatever she wants on the offensive end and rarely gets called for fouls. Meanwhile USA players touch (an Exaggeration) a defensive player and they get called for an offensive foul.

Did you see the play vs. Serbia towards the end where she got the ball in the post, elbowed the Serbian player in the jaw and actually stopped playing for about 2 seconds - clearly she thought she committed her 5th foul and was waiting for the whistle. When it didn't come, she resumed her steam roll to the basket to score a bucket...

 

[JellyBean]

Seimone, like EDD, has that smooth looking shot. Wow

 

[MilfordHusky]

50-18 this half

 

[MilfordHusky]

Stewie block!

 

[Samanthabrown3]

Stewie's feeling it.

 

[HoopsFan21]

Stewie turned into a blocking machine late in this game

 

[Samanthabrown3]

Can't wait for Canada vs. France later tonight.

Indeed. Geno just walked up to the seated Dee and Sue and talked to them briefly without giving away any sense of concern or compassion. Maybe, maybe, maybe, just a tweak.

 

[easttexastrash]

What a team! BG, Fowles and Stewart had some monster blocks.

 

[MilfordHusky]

110-64 final.

29-5 in the fourth. Fatigue for the other guys.

 

[Samanthabrown3]

Fatigue for the other guys.

And too short. Don't forget too short.

 

[MilfordHusky]

7 players in double figures

19 Maya
19 Dee
13 Angel
11 Elena
10 Syl, Lindsay, Seimone

REALLY hope Sue's OK

 

[Wbbfan1]

Saw that play and other similar plays where she bowls over players, pushes off the defensive player and refs rarely make the call. Guess she's entitled due to her size. She should foul out every game within 20 minutes of playing time

Did you see the play vs. Serbia towards the end where she got the ball in the post, elbowed the Serbian player in the jaw and actually stopped playing for about 2 seconds - clearly she thought she committed her 5th foul and was waiting for the whistle. When it didn't come, she resumed her steam roll to the basket to score a bucket...

I can't agree more. She looked like she wanted to cry, which made me want to cry. She has worked so hard to get to this point in her career and it would be a shame to see her have to sit on the sidelines the rest of the games.

BG the leading rebounder for the second straight game. Maybe Geno IS teaching her something.

Watch out, WNBA. She and DT are coming back soon!

 

[wallman]

No problem for USA, DT is a natural and will run this team and make the other players better doing it.
