USA - Turkey on NBCSN now.

[speedoo]

No Big Syl, Asjha starts. 3-2 Turkey.

 

[t-gal]

Is it me or does the buzzer sound like a choo-choo train? I can't help but giggle a lil. Happy Birthday Asjha!

 

[speedoo]

Nobody watching?

 

[speedoo]

Angel playing great. 17-16 USA.

 

[speedoo]

Second unit is taking the game over, especially Angel with 7 points and some steals, rebounds.

 

[speedoo]

23-16 USA. Starters back in with Tina for a few minutes, now Asjha in for Parker, who is taking too many outside shots.

Second unit is taking the game over, especially Angel with 7 points and some steals, rebounds.

Probably the best off-ball defender in the world. Don't get sloppy with the ball if she is on the court.

USA defense really sharp. 25-16 USA. Asjha doing a nice job at both ends.

 

[speedoo]

Parker block, Taurasi to Bird in the corner for THREEEEE! Best sequence of the game so far.

 

[flatcoatmom]

Looks like Sue and Dee are both back on - hitting their shots - 33-22 US

Parker block, Taurasi to Bird in the corner for THREEEEE! Best sequence of the game so far.

I've heard that somewhere before. It also works well in the other order.

 

[speedoo]

Swin in now with secnd unit, Angel still playing great. 37-26.

 

[MilfordHusky]

Maya and Dee have 2 fouls in the second period. Maya is scoreless.

 

[speedoo]

Maya to the bench with 3 fouls. Nice move for 2 by Swin.

 

[speedoo]

41-26 at the half. Whelan is so smart, makes great decisions with the ball.

 

[Wbbfan1]

Maya please stop getting into foul trouble in the 1st half. Silly Fouls.

Can't believe how poor Team USA is shooting 3's in this tournament so far.

 

[Samanthabrown3]

They're lookin' good, playing more in sync. I'm enjoying watching this game.

 

[MilfordHusky]

Leading scorers: Angel 11, Sue 8

Maya has 3 PFs and 0 points.

In one of the other games, the Czech Republic used a huge 4th quarter in a win "ova" Croatia. 9 of the 10 players for the Czechs have names ending in "ova."

Was it Ann Meyers who said you don't win shooting threes? That's when I stopped worrying about Turkey getting up on USA.

 

[OneTrickPony]

Is it just me or does Candace Parker think she's Kevin Love...?

 

[flatcoatmom]

Usual starters back in and Turkey has closed the gap to 43-32.

 

[alexrgct]

US playing garbage ball. Geno and Company need to spend less time talking about the respect they should be getting and just focus on dominating like they should. There is no reason under the sun Turkey should be competitive in this game, but the US offense has looked stagnant at times. Defense has had breakdowns too.

Way too much individual play on O, notwithstanding the three D just drained.

 

[flatcoatmom]

Dee with a 3 from somewhere in the next country!

 

[flatcoatmom]

Turkey shooting nearly 50% from 3.
