USA vs. France game thread- spoiler

Dee misses a 3 - fortunately FR misses on the other end. First half over - 37-25 US Candace has 15, 9 rebounds.

Who knew I'd be rooting so hard for Candace Parker. She has really stepped up and saved this team this first half.

I like to root for Candace on this team. I love it when she plays to her strengths. She frustrates me when she does not.

Are you with a crowd watching? Who are they rooting for?

Poor shooting by Team USA has kept France in the game. Shot 39% for the half with 1 - 5 on three point shots.

Not a good showing to increase viewership for the WNBA.

Was running late after dinner and relying on you guys. Heading out in a few minutes to commandeer a big screen TV.

I bet France will tire, and we'll start to score in transition more.

Not pretty but game over. France definitely had a magical ride, but no way they're better than Australia.

I vote for that!

Tina has to step it up... 4 pts and just 2 RBs

I guess Geno didn't know there was a mic " no more GD defensive screw ups Maya Moore "

How did I miss hearing that??

agree.

 

[Samanthabrown3]

Nice to have the halftime be about WBB instead of looking forward to the men's final.

Maybe you went to the fridge for a cold beverage....?

Sue gets 2 to start the second half - 41-27. Geno looks like he has a headache.

 

[Vowelguy]

How many times has France had numbers and not even gotten off a shot?

 

[cardfan]

Nice hoops by Sue. We gotta block out better.

 

[flatcoatmom]

How did they let Gruda hit that?

 

[cardfan]

Dee not having a great game.

 

[cardfan]

good thing France can't shoot.

 

[flatcoatmom]

Nice - Maya dives for a ball, fouled on the way -

 

[flatcoatmom]

France seems to want it more right now - US not playing with their usual confidence.

 

[cardfan]

I'd put Angel in for some energy

 

[cardfan]

Sweet Bird to Dee!

I was thinking the same thing -

Parker gets another - 3 straight - 47-32, 6 min left in 3Q
