Opals have turned it around for sure from the first game I watched where they were just miserable. We seem to have some good shooters that keep us in it despite some of the horiffic turnovers that bleed points. I can't believe some of the guards driving into double teams, jumping and then turning it over - just don't have the ball control or speed you need at this level. Don't go between their legs, don't use their off hand etc - its really D grade stuff like I play in - not professional IMO. (surely you need to learn to dribble with either hand really well as a guard at olympics level)
Very tough matchup with USA - USA just don't lose and win by double digits almost every game - way too much depth and athleticism. Will need to have some kind of shooting favourable black swan event IMO to be even a chance.
