Story line: The USA has faced the Czech Republic once previously in Olympic play, and the former Czechoslovakia, which encompassed both the Czech and Slovak Republics, three times. The USA dispatched the Czech Republic, who went on to finish fifth, 80-61 in the 2004 Olympics in Athens Greece; and topped Czechoslovakia in the 1976, 1988 and 1992 Olympic Games. Including its history as part of Czechoslovakia, the Czech Republic owns a 7-15 record in Olympic play, with its best finish coming in 1976 when the country placed fourth. [MORE]

Damn. We start out slowly every year (New Zealand in 2004).
Focus ladies!

The USA needs to get Candy in there and take Lisa out. Lisa's offensive problems seem to be continuing . . .

Someday, they'll put their best lineup on the floor to start the game. Hopefully...

Judging by this game, the best lineup includes Kara Lawson at the point, so I don't think it'll be happening any time soon.

A couple forced turnovers (Parker's forced two, and Lawson forced one) and we're now 20-17. |

That was a fast twist by Lawson when that Czech player rushed her.
And another steal by Lawson. Wow. She is playing great for us. |

Kara Lawson, showing why she was chosen. She essentially turned this game around single-handedly

Well, not single handedly. Both Taurasi and Parker had some great plays, but Kara definitely played well. |
