This game will be over after about 3 minutes.

I just hope they go easy on the Kiwi's and run the clock a little in the 4th.

Jillian vs CP3, the rematch Razz

Well, just make sure Angela Marino doesn't go off...She's got the UGLIEST shot but can jack them 3's like no one's business....

Besides teams who are playing spoilers are always most dangerous!

At first glance... I thought she had a resemblance to Leilani Mitchell.

AHAHAHAHAHA

I'm sorry ... I'm not used to hearing good things about Angela. Laughing

Trust me, if you had to put up with her on YOUR team (I'm an Adelaide supporter), you'd regret EVER saying anything remotely positive about her.

What a surprise, Sue Bird is not looking for her shot at all and isn't nearly as aggressive as she was when she first came into training camp. Nice work AD and it only took her a week. America's inside-outside offence is quite predictable and has potential to stall, particularly against teams with good bigs.

Yeah, she does look like a light Leilani, complete with the circles around the eyes. Cool

Is it me or does DT seem to have just a ton of pent up energy? She has looked a little aggressive in the past couple of days.

Harmon's basket at the halftime buzzer ended a run of 21 unanswered points by the U.S., covering more than seven minutes...
