Can someone please tell these announcers there is nonsuch thing as "hang time."

 

[Kaizen]

DT, Sue, Maya and Stewie on the floor...

 

[EricLA]

OMG Maya Moore what a great pass from Sue and terrific control of the ball to lay it in with her left hand... And Dee has exploded a bit in the 2nd half too. Lordy do these ladies play fast!

Do you have a link to live stats?

Why are the announcers talking about strappy hills?

 

[easttexastrash]

Cambage draws two quick fouls on Charles.

 

[EricLA]

Tina Charles needs to come out of the game. She simply is incapable of even slowing Cambage down.

 

[EricLA]

AWESOME move by Griner! And a great catch of a not so great pass at her ankles LOL

Tina Charles needs to come out of the game. She simply is incapable of even slowing Cambage down.

And so she did, and now Griner is on Cambage.

Diana lighting it up.

One thing I'm noticing is not only is USA getting some open 3 point shots, but the mid range game seems to be there for the taking too. I think EDD feasted on the mid range game in teh first half, and several USA players have done so in the 2nd half as well.

Thank you so much! That's just the information I needed.

 

[Samanthabrown3]

Nice to see Geno again. Did somebody already say that?

 

[bags27]

Too bad Cambage is in foul trouble. would have been a much better practice game with her in there.

 

[Geew1992]

Grindr looks alive in this game

 

[Samanthabrown3]

Wow. 17 points up on the #2 team.

Oh, but there IS. Dr. J and MJ showed how to achieve a low altitude earth orbit

 

[EricLA]

Griner is playing really well. Not only scoring but making good decisions. Very nice to see. She's similar to Cambage in that Australia can not guard her 1 on 1 right now.

 

[Blue Huskie]

That's the Griner we've been waiting for!

 

[Samanthabrown3]

I like their unis. Did anybody say that, either?

 

[EricLA]

Leslie is right - Whalen cannot dribble the ball around all over the place for 1 on 1 basketball. It may be ok for Reeve and Minny, but not for team USA... The spacing is not right at the moment and it's because the PG is not playing team ball.

even more so at the very end of the quarter!

 

[EricLA]

I guess it's good that Whalen is scoring some points but that's not the purpose of these exhibition games. She's completely disrupted the offensive flow because of her refusal to pass the ball. She's lowering her head and shoulder and driving to the basket. Not impressed with her team play at the moment... A bit surprised and disappointed. Hope the coaches have a chat with her (or the team captains do)...

Lindsay Whalen "practicing" driving to the basket and playing selfish ball is not good for the team and gives them no chance to work on getting better together...

Griner on the other hand - WOW!! Offense and defense! Way to go girl!!!

Whalen has always done that. She is an offensive minded PG.

 

[bags27]

Dee's telling EDD she needs to keep in the flow. Had EDD stayed at UConn, she wouldn't need to be told. (Not the only regret here....)

 

[easttexastrash]

Geno is a smart man. I think he knew it was important to give BG some confidence and he gave her a chance in the second half after a poor first half. I am glad to see her respond.
