London 2012: Opals vs Russia

Opals take on a strong Russian team tonight at 8:15pm AEST (7:45pm in Adelaide).

This will be a tough game but one in which the Aussies can certainly win.

Jenny o'hea and Jenny screen are easily the two best looking women on the squad

Commentators mentioning that Russia are not playing with the same intensity as one would have expcted...talk of Russia maybe laying down to avoid USA in crossover?

O'hea playing great again! We need to get Jackson more looks. Have to figure out how to guard Hammond.

Don't understand Graf's coaching.... O'hea playing great yet sitting on the bench? She is obviously the fittest of all the Opals so why not run her?
Surely Russia can't keep up this shooting from beyond the arc?

Graf rotating players as she is is frustrating as O'Hea has been fantastic!

We are up 32-30 at the half.

Cambage throwing down the dunk through the middle of the keyway!

Have to try and contain Hammon in second half as she can easily get hot and light it up. Batkovic has had another solid half. Keep it up girls.

That Cambage dunk was huge. I wish David Anderson would finish like that at the rim.

Opals win by 4 - keep getting out to reasonable leads then letting the opposition back into the game.

Still a good win to make sure they stay right in the mix.

Really good win, well done girls. Another tough test against Canada next up. Thought Graf was a bit better tonight, especially in second half.
