Let's hear it for the girls

With some of the drama circling the Summer Games and the general lack of interest in them, has anyone noticed the U.S. Women’s Basketball Team this year.

They played through Group B play winning their games culminating with Monday’s win over France 93-82.

And team USA hasn’t been playing in sync, at least in the first half.

In the second half, it looked like they ran the table.

Going into the medal round Team USA should be set good to win a medal if not win gold.

But the French did exploit some weaknesses in Team USA.

The most worrisome is the quick starts by the opposing teams. Here’s hoping that one if the opposing teams don’t take a quick start into the third quarter.
