Girls and boys, mommies and daddies, the 2008 Women's Dream Team is one win away from Olympic Gold. After winning against Russia in the semifinals (yes, Diana Taurasi had 21 points and 9 rebounds), they now face Australia tomorrow in Bejing for all the marbles. Be sure to check out the NBC website listed below to see videotaped interviews with both Taurasi and Lisa Leslie about their win and upcoming finals game. GO USA!
Today I say:
2008 USA Dream Team won it going away (92-65)- the depth of our bench just wore the Aussies down. Even so, there were lots of home girls in foul trouble (Taurasi's calls were ridiculous -- she played less than 20 minutes total, and she and Lisa Leslie both fouled out). But Kara "Sparkplug" Lawson in the 1st half, and Sue "Kinetic" Bird in the 2nd half, tooled the USA team to a high-performance level throughout. What can you say? This team is absolutely the best in the world.
Oh yeah, Lisa Leslie holds the individual women's record for 4 straight gold medals in b'ball. Whoah.
Dominant. Awesome. Super-heroes - oh yeah.
