A lot on the line today for Clark. Some tough matchups for CC.

Nah. She'll be lucky to see the floor.

 

[Hawksfor3]

Clark got 5 min in the first half last game and 16 1/2 for the game. And when she was in, she passed to her teammates, but they for the most part, wouldn't return the favor. Why would that change now?

 

[hawkeyewx]

Gray played pretty well in her first time on the floor.

 

[WDSMHawk]

Rough start for Phee that's at least 3 turnovers in the first quarter

 

[WDSMHawk]

And then back to back turnovers for CC...

 

[hawkeyewx]

CC with 2 TOs in the last minute. The France defense is very tight. CC won't have room to do much.

 

[Hawksfor3]

CC with 2 TOs in the last minute.

Played 2:38.

 

[Hawksfor3]

Howard looking off Clark. Nothing new.

 

[Hawksfor3]

Lawson turns to SW, "What do I do?" lol.

 

[hawkeyewx]

They just said CC is only 5-23 from 3pt in the World Cup.

Unfortunately, France continues to light it up.

And she made 3 in the first game. She's went ice cold.

 

[Hawksfor3]

Collier leading with 3 turnovers.

Yep... 3-6 against China, but 2-17 since. We like to complain (often with good reason) about the vets refusing to pass CC the ball, but if CC was making shots they'd be more willing to pass her the ball.

 

[WDSMHawk]

Grey, and Stewie are keeping USA in this by themselves

Spotty minutes. Can't get into a rhythm. Limited PT, remember?

 

[Hawksfor3]

Clark and Beekers each played 2:38. Neither has scored.

 

[Hawksfor3]

Howard, Copper, Collier all have not scored.

 

[hawkeyewx]

Spotty minutes. Can't get into a rhythm. Limited PT, remember?

Absolutely. This kind of limited minutes on/off the floor (more off than on now) stuff just isn't going to help CC.

 

[Hawksfor3]

Gray actually giving something this game.

 

[Hawksfor3]

Young, Stewart, and Gray carrying the load.

 

[Legend12]

That is some GREAT defense by Angel.

France is just on fire...they've hit a LOT of guarded jumpers.

BOOM for CC!!

 

[WDSMHawk]

CC for 3!

 

[Hawksfor3]

Nice 3 CC!!!!! Nice D Reese!!!!!

 

[hawkeyewx]

Great play by Angel and then a buzzer bomb by CC! Hell, I didn't even know CC was put back in the game for that last possession.

 

[Wobmam Rulez!]

What's the score?

 

[oldhawk56]

Obviously freedom of movement is not a thing in FIBA

 

[Hawksfor3]

Feel bad for Citron and Iriafen. Will they see action today?

 

[WDSMHawk]

What's the score?

45-43 France

 

[hawkeyewx]

Feel bad for Citron and Iriafen. Will they see action today?

If CC and Paige are barely seeing the floor, the two at the end of the bench will see none. I'm not surprised Lawson has trended this way with the minutes in the tougher medal-round games.

 

[Hawksfor3]

Collier grabbed William's jersey. Jump ball lol.

 

[GeorgePeeples2]

14 down to up by 7. Mostly by the elders.

 

[hawkeyewx]

The starters are really playing well.

 

[Hawksfor3]

OK USA!

 

[WDSMHawk]

Malonga has clocked Phee and Grey in the face

 

[hawkeyewx]

OK USA!

Bushwhack those Frenchies!

 

[GeorgePeeples2]

Rugby game.

 

[Tom Paris]

Looked a wee bit flagrant.

 

[Hawksfor3]

Rugby game.

WNBA defense. Whack the head.

 

[Legend12]

4 shots and the ball
