USA vs Russia - tv show time

[Deleted]

This team has a REALLY bad habit of going 5 with everyone. And they don't win the 5th games, either.

wow. russia is serving logan tom. making her pass a lot of balls. i hope her ankle isn't bothering her.

USA's gotta make their push now. you can't let russia get into the 18's with this big a lead.

13 of 63 Russia points from opponent errors.

So it looks like that is turning in favor of the US now.

I spoke too soon...

19 of 80 Russia points on opponent errors.
16 of 77 US points on opponent errors.

15 - 10 Russie in game 4.

Russia leads 17-10 in game 4

Heather Bown having 2 points in 4 games is ridiculous.

i know i'm going to get a bunch of sh!t for this but i dont care...

heather bown reminds a lot of kim glass and alicia robinson. when she gets a hold of a ball, it's usually impressive. otherwise, she just seems to be a walking hitting error.

[MarsH]

speaking of ridiculous, 3 combined blocks for the MB's?

terrific, another 5-setter they gave all the momentum back to russia

What I don't understand is that she has been playing professionally and with the national team this whole quadrennial and how she can start and be so unpredictable.

[dti]

I concur. Disappointed with Bown's performance. Why isn't Wiz subbing in?

And where's Metcalf?

[MarsH]

the MB's need to come alive. if not to hit, atleast to block.

From what I have seen from Heather's play, she seems to be hitting mostly slides, and not the quick 1s and 3s. When she jumps in front of the setter, these are mostly fake plays with Robyn setting to the outside instead. Maybe Heather and Robyn have problems connecting on the quick sets.

Or maybe Robyn just doesn't set the quick 1s or 3s at all.
