USA - Angola thread (spoiler)

[speedoo]

Get ready. I'm digging Lisa Leslie as studio analyst. Could be a nice replacement for a certain ESPN person.

No Big Syl tonight. But she does not think it's a serious ankle injury, sounds like precaution.

 

[pap49cba]

When did she hurt her ankle? Practice?

I think that was the case.

Angola has some quicks, but no size.

 

[VAMike23]

Relying on the 'Yarders for some good play-by-play!

I'm at the airport and after the Polish mens team beat the US in a beach vball match, the local NBC affilluate pre-empted Olympics covg for DR F-----g Phil !!!!! aaaargh !!!!

Bob Fitzgerald doing play by play? He's a Bay area radio sports talk host and does play by play for Golden State Warriors on TV. He is really smart, knows MLB, NBA, NFL, but little to nothing about women's hoops. Another example of sloppy media attention. Dave Flemming would have been better.

Starters unchanged?

USA up 13-7, Bird, Dee, Parker on bench. Sloppy play.

Maya in with nice block.

Whalen, Simone, Angel, Jones and Maya in.

USA up 15-7. Geno makes a line change 5 for 5. Nice lob by Seimone to Maya for 2. I think Asjha has 2 fouls, problem!
