US has to tighten up perimeter defense and trust the bigs to swat the flies.

Good people can differ, of course. But she seems to suppose that EVERY statement made by her partner calls for a response from her. Every. Last. One. Her game knowledge is not to be questioned, but her style as an analyst drives me nuts.
 
Nice 3rd quarter so far. I was chatting with Ken earlier and said that it would not surprise me to see Japan keep it close for 2 out of the 4 quarters, but that I'd be very surprised if they were able to accomplish that for all 4 quarters...
 
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.

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 ...

Yes. She landed on one leg awkwardly.

All the US announcers talk too much, feeling like they have to fill every space with words. Canadian announcers don't do that. Refreshing.

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

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...
