Keep an eye on:
USA Not Complicating Things:..........KEEP FEEDING THE POST!!!!!!!!
USA's starting front line of A'ja Wilson, Breanna Stewart, Brittney Griner and reserves Sylvia Fowles and Tina Charles is averaging a 59.1 points and 32.3 rebounds per game combined in Olympic play. Oh, and they're also shooting 56 percent from the field combined. No team has had an answer yet and it's no reason to think Serbia will fare much better outside USA getting cute and going away from the strength of the roster.
