Women’s’ semis
USA not having too much trouble with Serbia.
It would be nice if Japan could beat France.

France has desire though.
Japan has everything except size.

USA wins 79-59.
At least 20 points better than Australia and Serbia, and I don't expect anything different in the gold medal game unless they play their bench a lot so as to be 'kind’ to the rest of the world
Rebuild for us, I'll be so pissed if we keep same squad n coach another year.
This Japanese women's team is a joy to watch. Machida play reminds me of Steve Nash such a floor general.
Pity they had a few injuries leading in. Tokashiki would really help them in the post.
Even with the injuries they are getting silver at the minimum.
Yep, would be good to see them with a full squad next year.
France also lost 2 pg's before Tokyo.
Machida is like the Luka Doncic of womens basketball.
They had fujioka 2 years ago but she retired due to major injury, she was like 24 at the time.
They have 2 very good African jap bigs coming through in juniors, both 16. You'll see them in a few years.
She's had 3 years to change, Japan beaten us 3 in a row
Sandy B can take all the notes she wants but at the end of the day I don't think she is allowed to select other countries players for her squad.
