[Manfredi]

Tip of the finger to top of your shoulder apparently is part of the ball in Fiba. Not calling much of anything on either team.

 

[Hawksfor3]

Paige "Beekers" looking good on defense. My goodness, Italy has some good looking women. #14 for Italy is a Boe-heemoth.

More physical than I thought it would be.

 

[nu2u]

The way I see it, Italy has given the world so many wonderful food dishes that, well, they deserve to get a few calls and no-calls go their way……and espresso! godddam gold for stim junkies like me.

 

[Manfredi]

I don't think either team is getting the benefit of calls. Both teams getting away with a lot.

 

[pablow]

Italy out rebounding USA.

 

[Legend12]

More physical than I thought it would be.

I tried to warn you. It's not even the same game as what we are used to watching.

 

[Tunadog]

Italy coach a bit of a hot head.

 

[hawkeyewx]

US has 13 points in the last 15 minutes. The shooting is unbelievably bad.

 

[Manfredi]

USA with 13 points since the end of the first quarter.

[Hawksfor3]

You know it's bad when AR is leading all USA scorers.

 

[Hawksfor3]

Boston is awake.

 

[Legend12]

They made a 3!!

 

[WDSMHawk]

I don't even know who the closing lineup should be

 

[hawkeyewx]

They said the US beat this same Italy team by about 35 back in March.

 

[Hawksfor3]

They made a 3!!

"Beekers" having a decent game.

 

[hawkeyewx]

The US has missed a ton of layups and other short shots.

 

[hawkeyewx]

Stewart is terrible today.... 0-8 FG.

 

[Legend12]

CC and Stewie a combined 0-14....tough to win games that way.

 

[pablow]

Lots of late whistles.

 

[Phat Stax]

They said the US beat this same Italy team by about 35 back in March.

The 1996 Bulls beat Charlotte by 34 and lost to them 3 days later.

 

[Legend12]

Need to go to JY as much as possible...she seems calm and fine with the added physicality.

 

[Tom Paris]

The 1996 Bulls beat Charlotte by 34 and lost to them 3 days later.

 

[Hawksfor3]

19 of USA's 46 points are from the line.

 

[Hawksfor3]

Ready for this?? USA shooting 27%/8%. LMAO.

 

[Manfredi]

Nobody in double figures with 3 minutes left

 

[nu2u]

More physical than I thought it would be.

Exactly the reason that you save a spot for Dijonai Carrington. You bitches want to play rough? Look who we brought with us.

 

[Hawkfan_08*]

Losing to Italy is not something that was on my radar.

 

[Hawksfor3]

AB, I hate to say this but, you look a little poopy out there.

 

[Hawkfan_08*]

Her missing a bunny is no different than the entire squad. The shots missed inside of 5 ft is insane.

 

[GeorgePeeples2]

This is some ugly basketball. Yikes.

 

[Hawkfan_08*]

Brianna Stewart. You are a foot taller than the girl defending you. Wtf are you doing?

 

[Hawksfor3]

Stewart 1-9.

 

[Hawksfor3]

Did Young just use the F word?

 

[Phat Stax]

Gritty win, proud to be an American

 

[Hawkfan_08*]

AB terrible finish. How pathetic was that game? Win by 3 over those scrubs?

 

[WDSMHawk]

Dodged a bullet

 

[hawkeyewx]

I would love to see a stat for shots inside 5 ft for the US.

 

[hawkeyewx]

Probably the first time CC has ever shot 0% in a game.
