It was just lucky that the Russians were chucking it instead of getting set on their shots.

Melo trying to be MJ. 
Did the Opals get stuck with the US in the semis so a silver medal is off the table.

Are the Opals any chance of snagging a gold from the USA? Where is Penny Taylor at? Is she injured?
She did her knee back in April... with her out there I reckon we'd have a real chance at gold.
Great shooting from Dumerc, little french player. Man, she just kept putting in the 3 pointers and breaking GB's spirit.

Well, I'm kind of tired of silver anyway to tell you the truth.

Who's at C for the Yanks? Can we try to monster them inside with Jackson and Cambage? Is Cambage playing in the WNBA?
Losing Penny Taylor is something like Argentina losing Manu Ginobili but seriously even with her we're still 10-15 point underdogs against the US.
Having said that the US is going a bit small this Olympics it seems. Tina Charles is their biggest at 6'6. But then they have Candace Parker in the front court and a bunch of superstar guards in Diana Taurasi, Maya Moore and Sue Bird. I mean our guards are nobodies in comparison.

Rapt for Iggy making the team, but son you've played 2 minutes, you haven't shot the ball but you've managed to pick up 3 fouls.
I'd say lift, but at this point that'd just mean getting back in the game and not fouling out.

Mills finally turns it on....in a banana skin group match. 
Still, a 60-20 turn around since the 2nd quarter. GB hit a brick wall defensively early in the 3rd. Hitting 3s from everywhere now. BRING ON THE SILVER.

Peter Walsh is Australia's best basketball commentator
His enthusiasm to hoops is unbridled, I wonder how he'll go against me and the Yaos at the pickup court

Because of where we finished in the group I think we get to play the USA in the quarters now! No medal for us.Mills finally turns it on....in a banana skin group match.

Jackson 3 fouls in the first half. Shouldn't make a different, she should be able to sit out the remainder and still see a comfortable win. Cambage should play for the Boomers.
There is something that looks so strange about a Canadian dribbling a basketball.

So many turnovers. Wtf! Batkovic should be exiled to Korea DPR.
Women's B'Ball: If we win, Australia has to meet USA in the Semi Finals. If we lose, we're able to meet them in the finals. I back ourselves against Turkey and China in Group A.
That lost to France in overtime, has cost us a silver medal; you have to say. France have finished top.
