If Reese plays like this, she’s a good person to have on your team. Rebounding and not trying to do too much.
Gray and Plum so far playing 100% me-ball.
There were back to back possessions where there was no pass. Yes hero ball is alive and well on Team USA.
At this point I'm going w - she's a lock, we're going to bring her along slow..
I’m convinced that if a women’s bball player could hit 90% of her wide open layups, they’d be a HoF’er. Why do they miss so many of those?
Clark finally gets another shot and she had to basically play ball hog to get it. Only got the ball passed to her because Burrell got stuck in the lane.
Follows that up with a 3ball where she also ball hogged it again.
It is like these professional coaches have no idea how to draw up a cohesive offense that moves the ball back and forth between players looking for a good shot rather than this iso ball crap.

The Fever should do everything they can to get Paige, with her, CC, and Boston, they’d be hard to beat.
I do like the CC, PB, KP three guard lineup though. Imagine those three with Aja or Stewart at PF and someone like Boston at center.
That's pretty crazy to look out there and see that guard trio, three number one picks.
Team USA beats Team Italy 93-59.

Lack of vertical leap and explosive muscle mass. They just don’t hang long enough in the air with enough strength to be a high percentage play if challenged. Is what it is.
Women's basketball really seems to love them some +/- stats..............
Pinpoint pocket with perfect timing. No one does it better
And they're not nearly as close to the rim as most men...and they're girls
The men‘s Game has always been played above the rim and the women’s game played below the rim. I’m pretty sure that’s not going to change.
That is exactly what I said with different words.
She made that harder by going to her right hand as it brought the ball closer to the defender. For a player that is so good in rebounding, she is wildly unskilled with the ball. That should have been an easy layup.
That’s right, I forgot Burrell hasn’t started…so CC and the worst player on the team are the only two that haven’t started…that makes sense.
She will probably get the start against pathetic new zealand today, and then back on the bench against Spain.
