Message: [QUOTE="Iluvacc2, post: 4395481, member: 9266"] Finally got around to watching the replay, because there's no way I was gonna catch this live [IMG alt="Embarassed"]http://boards.rebkell.net/images/smiles/icon_redface.gif[/IMG] The crowd was definitely pro-China although I noticed a few Australian faces rooting for team USA. Stewie and A'ja were well deserving of all tournament honors, but I wish AT could've received some sort of recognition. She was the cog that fueled USA's defensive machine. Chelsea's floor game differs from Sue Bird, but she is very capable of leading this team. Those fadeaway jump shots are killer and those passes to A'ja were always on the money. It's not fair, but that is the importance of having multiple wnba team mates on this squad since team USA routinely does not have sufficient time to practice together. Team USA had a lot of unanswered questions heading into this tournament, however they've answered every single one. Despite not having the full team together until after the tournament started [IMG alt="Shocked"]http://boards.rebkell.net/images/smiles/icon_eek.gif[/IMG] they rocked and rolled. Kudos to Reeve, I've been critical of her in the past, but she did an outstanding job preparing them especially with such a short time together. She utilized her bench a lot more than Staley did. This was one of the best defensive Team USA teams I've ever seen. AT, Atkins, Copper, Laney, Wilson and Stewie were amazing. Should be locks for Paris: Stewie Chelsea Kesley (Officially upgraded from 3x3 team) Ariel A'ja Alyssa Kahleah Jewell [/QUOTE]
