I hope Canada can play Russia close...All other games should be blowouts. GB may give Australia a fight, though.

Really nervous-looking start by the Czechs in game 1.

Very loose with the ball. China anticipating well. I'm getting a huge kick out of the crowd reactions...

At first I was thinking it was a very Mystics-looking crowd, but that must be just the VIP areas because towards the back there are plenty, and yeah they seem to be into it.
Nice fightback in the closing minutes of the 1st.

Czechs going to a 1-2-2 really seems to have flummoxed China for the moment. That and not handing the ball over on two of every three possessions...
ETA: And just like that, China figures out where the open spots are for a pair of three-pointers...

In the first half China seems to be hitting shots at the right time, both teams are sloppy, but start with a big run early in the game, enough to give them a 4 point cushion at the end of the first and in the 2nd they hit shots after Czech tied it, not allowing them to get the lead, and they go into half time with a 7 point lead, 36-29.

Major issue for China with Chen Nan getting her fourth foul so early in the third quarter. Good move by Blazek, I think, in getting Elhotova and Bartonova into the game right away this half. Czechs have been having a hard time keeping pace with their bigger lineup...

China stays composed and holds on to win 66-57.
Czechs just with too many lapses and silly plays. Disappointing game from them.

Had to restart Chrome three times in the second half. Can only hope NBC and/or YouTube get things sorted out...
As to the game:
Vesela underwhelmed yet again. Czechs just seemed behind the play all day, allowing China far too many transition chances, especially off missed three-pointers that are their lifeblood...
Ma looked really good in her Olympic debut. China is working with a seriously short rotation, and I wonder how they'll be holding up by next weekend. They could definitely use Bian...

Close game so far between Russia and Canada

Considering this session, among many many others, was 'sold out' via official routes, it's a shame to see so many empty seats down low. It looks packed up high in the lower price bands where people actually wanted and paid for tickets though.
Canada couldn't get past Russia's defense to save their lives to start this game - but Russia's ineptitude offensively kicked in as well. Somehow it's ended up virtually tied, and we might be lucky to see 100 points total in this game. |

Unless the Russians keep leaving Smith wide open outside ...
Impressive recovery by Canada, and and equally unimpressive capitulation by Russia since around the time Becky checked in in the 1st.
