USA - Turkey on NBCSN now.

And when you don't rotate well on defense, the other team can gain confidence, resulting in their hitting shots they normally wouldn't.
 
Lead has ballooned from six to 16 due to transition baskets and energy from Angel, maya, Asjha, and Whalen.

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.

1. USA is pushing the ball, and that leads to lots of individual play.
2. USA getting Turkey in foul trouble.
3. USA wearing Turkey down, look for a big 4th quarter.
4. USA leads, 63-47.

Geno does not have enough time to create the kind of team play we are used to, so we will just have to accept some sloppy play now and then.

Agree that Geno doesn't have the time, but these players do play with one another enough over the years that you'd hope for more continuity. Am a lot more enthralled with the play of the second unit these past couple of games. Asjha has made some nice plays this game too.
 
Lindsay Whalen is trending on Twitter. I'm glad she's finally getting the recognition that she deserves.
 
Just when you think Turkey is playing well enough to challenge the US, they're down by 20. Speaks a lot about the talent & depth of this team.
 
Angel::Russell Westbrook. Can't keep your eyes off either when they're on the court. Can be amazing, can be a hot mess, but always exciting.
 
Now the shots are falling better for the US - it's fun to watch these guys play together!

Definitely agree the second unit has played much better than the starters. Catch and Parker have shot poorly this game, DT just so so. Best starters have been Sue and Tina, but the second unit except for Maya has been terrific. Asjha having her best game.
 
Not able to see game. Only 3 mins for Swin - injured or just not playing well?
 
Loved the Tina to Maya assist. Pretty play.
 
Based on stats, looks like best players have been Angel, Tina, Whalen.
 
Geno said Tina didn't start b/c of "uniform malfunction" - at post-game interview Tina says she forgot to put on her jersey. "Rookie mistake", she says.

She played pretty well, so I can't give you an answer.
