Seems like too many of the Olympic roster are injured, or recovering slowly from injury. Can the team make roster changes now? Arike to the Olympic team?

I think this appeared in several some or two other publications. Strange that the link only shows MSN but I tried it and it works. It is a story by Nick Meyer here.

USA defeated Germany by 27. BG sat out, but Phee played and was +21. Stewie was +30. A'ja led with 19 and 14.

USA had 27 assists on 30 buckets, but over-passed and forced some passes. 2-point shooting was poor, but 3-point and FT shooting were solid.

After watching this afternoon's exhibition game vs Germany you can start to see the improvements across the board in the USA's teams play!
All 11 (Brittany Griner didn't play) were becoming a more organized team as they get used to playing with each other!
Players off the bench showed their stuff especially Alesha Thomas, who used all the complete game that makes her one of the best in the World!

Team USA looked pretty decent yesterday. Sure, there are some areas where they need to clean up but that will take more reps in practice. Much like the men's side of USA basketball, the women's side will have to understand and play into their roles more and more, if they haven't already.

JellyBean- - -The more the USA women practice and play games you'll see a huge increase in their play till it ends with another Gold Medal!
They may be the only Country in the Olympics that has not practiced months and months!

This isn't accurate but it may be due to how you phrased this sentence. Many teams haven't been able to train with their entire team like the USA. Canada hasn't had their entire team on hand to train until last weekend. I think the number of teams who are able to have their entire team on hand to train exclusively for the Olympics several months in advance is low.
