Nice win for team USA...hey MBF are you taping any of these games?
IF so lets include them on our list of games to watch
Nice game for Parker & Taurasi. Our Lawson got in the books.
Looks like minutes are gonna be tough to earn. I saw Cash didn't get in, was she injured?
Look forward to seeing them play live. GO USA!

I had EVERY intention of recording the game today.....but....got sidetracked this weekend and didn't get to do what I needed to do to clear space on my Tivo. I'll give it another shot tonight.
Huh...Parker and Brunson worked well together? We may need to reunite them in April I also wanted to get another look at Plutin from Cuba, I liked her when I saw her play in the Worlds last year and it appeared she had another good game today.

I'm really really enjoying watching our girls. There is some GREAT talent there. Half-time lead...USA 56-15. Their defense is just fantastic.
Taj is doing color commentary. Gotta love her. She is really high on Bekkah. Has nothing but good to say about her rebounding, athleticism, and defense. One comment she made was, "There is no one on this Argentina team that can keep up with Brunson."

By God, that team is stacked: two star-level collegiate players, one of whom has won a National Championship, and ten current and/or former WNBA All-Stars, nine of whom ( ) are reigning and/or former WNBA Champions.
I'm watching the game on DVR right now, but so far my early candidate for play of the game was at the 2:45 mark in the first, when Parker got the steal, handed it off to Lawson, who made the cross-court heave to Taurasi, who gave it up to Milton-Jones on the bounce pass, who made the no-look to a cutting Augustus for the layup; that was outstanding!
EDIT - Oops... Sorry, Lawson, not Bird.

Hehehehe! Taj was certainly funny, but she was looking ahead to tomorrow. The meltdown was about keeping up the defense for tomorrow's final, I think. That's what I got out of it.
About the play you mentioned in your first post for today.......that was fantastic. I did not see a better play than that, although there were a couple of nice pass plays where everyone touched the ball and had Argentina just flat-footed.
Wooooo... I discovered that I had set Tivo to record the replays not not the live airings...so I did eventually get these games. (phew)...I haven't had a chance to actually watch Cuba Brazil yet, but
With Brazil getting knocked out...does that mean Seattle could lose Marques in June or the season. If they lost to Team USA they'd have to go through the June Qualifier anyway, but I'm not sure they expected to not finish 2nd.
Team USA just needs to watch the video of their meeting with Cuba last year, and perhaps try not sleepwalking through a game.
