| It truly sucks that she didn't get continuation on those shots. Is that actually a FIBA rule?

You only get the continuation if you actually had the intention to put up a shot. In the nba people get fouled and then put up a shot to get the freethrows. It doesnt work that way in FIBA play and rightfully so

I hear you but she actually took and hit those shots, but they waived them off. Looking at the stats, they counted them as misses. Loving the rolls to the basket by Fener and where would Ekat be without Taursai? I don't understand why Gruda keeps daring Griner to block her....Fener is looking good and aggressive!

I thought the holding foul was earlier before the layup.
UMMC s pick and role defense is horrible

Yeah, maybe but kinda seemed to happen all at the same time bc D was still being played and the play continued on...Whelp, Fener got the W with some nice team ball! Indeed, UMMC's D was awful but that is definitely not what they are known for...They typically "recruit" well, rely heavily on their superstar (while others sacrifice their game, somewhat) and hope it works out...At one time it was CP, then it became Taurasi.

They have more superstars though. Taurasi shouldnt be carrying this big of a burden when she has Griner, Meesseman and Toliver on her team. Heck in the WNBA this would be a team contending for a championship

| Watching the Kursk game and just noticed that Nneka is wearing adidas basketball trainers... Looks like Nike may not have renewed their sponsorship with her?

Michelle89, the do have a whole lot of talent on that squad but they don't always use it well....
Do both Nneka and Angel have 4 fouls? Dupree has been looking as smooth as ever in this game.
Hmmm...I think I just saw a continuation basket....As with most reffing, they can be selective on those calls.

Continuation baskets do happen if you have the intend to go up for the shot(in your 2 steps). Thats what happened there.
Yeah but that has always been the downfall of UMMC. They dont always find a way to play as a unit like Spartak
Moscow did in the past when they were loaded with stars aswell.
Nneka and Angel both with 4. Yeah Dupree looks like her old self. Maybe the change to another team will do her good.
Just saw Bonner, Taurasi and Penny in the crowd cheering her on

Oh-goo-mee-kee.
Dupree looks great. Much more spry and aggressive than last WNBA season.
Prince...not so much.

Indeed, I hear you about UMMC and Spartak of old.
This has been a really good, physical match up! Dupree is looking refreshed and Kiah looks good too. Yep, I saw the ladies in the stands. 5 on Nneka...*sigh*
Tied and a fight to the finish!

Europeans are just as bad at foreign names as Americans

| I'm just glad that Avenida aren't in this game. This guy pronounces that A-vee-end-a - which shows an inability to read, never mind pronounce words. |
