Why isn't Marine Johannes playing for France?
Looking forward to tonight's game--I didn't have ESPN+ (or whatever it was) for the previous USA games.

I see Plum and Gray have arrived in the land down under. No sign of Wilson yet. |
Has she stopped celebrating enough to proceed to the hangover stage? I’m taking bets on whether her water bottle is going to contain water, champagne, Gatorade, or Four Loko. |
Based on how she looked and sounded in that Twitter clip I’ll say she needs water and Gatorade stat!

Team USA up 19 at the half over China. USA with outstanding 3 point shooting and great balanced scoring.

I've been most impressed with AT though, there were some question marks about her ability to be an effective four in FIBA games, but she has answered all questions so far. She seems to be everywhere on the court defensively and offensively. I haven't seen a USA player do that since Catchings was in her prime. |

Great persistence by China to fight back from a couple of big deficits.
USA still far too good though.
The jetlag from USA to Australia really is a bitch. What Thomas, Gray & Wilson have managed is so impressive.

Did Rupert attend the parade? She suited up for France's first game.
I hope nobody is making Despina Barton glaring mistakes a drinking game. Even Andrew Gaze is not classy-ing up the joint. Azania Stewart is hilarious as always, but I think Shona Thorburn sometimes forgets that she's on play-by-play and not color-commentary.
Few things are more consistently baffling in basketball than China's steadfast reluctance to even experiment with a few minutes of Li and Han together in a settled game. |

Opals delivered on the defense-oriented identity they've been preaching this year. Crucial win over Serbia.
It may have come at a heavy price though - Whitcomb with a possible broken nose (she was able to return to the court to play a crucial role down the stretch), and Allen with suspected broken rib(s) - needing a wheelchair to exit the arena after probably being game MVP for her work at both ends.
Tolo replaced Magbegor in the starting 5 and played a big part in the win, and Talbot was the other standout.
Canada looking good to finish top of the group after comfortably taking care of business vs Japan. I was really hoping for a 4OT marathon to wear out Canada before we play them tomorrow.

For the love of all that is sweet and holy, can everyone please stop breaking Rebecca Allen?

Absolute dream tournament for Canada so far. 3-0 and they haven't even played Mali yet. Japan, on the other hand, looking in real danger of going out in the group stage. |

I know she’s pretty small for a 2, but what are the chances we will see Nirra Fields in the WNBA again?

Do you have a video of what happened to Sami and Allen? I cant watch games back. And how is LJ playing? Can she still play at this level and contribute? I saw 9 pts in 10 min

Man ... what a game. Opals scrape past Canada to keep alive the possibility of finishing top 2 in the group. Talbot & Magbegor in particular were huge, Whitcomb also played a big role.

I'll cap it when I get the chance, but Youtube will probably take it straight down.
LJ does have something to offer still, but is limited in what she can do and how long she can do it for. But the fighting spirit is still there (and valuable to help set the tone for this team) and she can still knock down an open 3.

Mali players fight each other at Basketball World Cup

The tournament has been hugely frustrating for the Malians, who are one of two sides at the 12-team finals to have yet to win a game, following previous losses against Japan, hosts Australia and France. |

Only item I've seen throughout the entire tournament on the BBC website was that thing on the Mali players fighting. The joy of mainstream British basketball coverage... |
