Yah, well so WHAT if the loonie has matched the dollar! (and Mr. Colbert? A loon is NOT a duck). Our basketball team can still beat your basketball team.

It was the kind of game to make a Canadian say, "zut alors, eh?" as the US were mighty unkind to the polite ones from up north, winning 83-37. The game was all about defense (after the first quarter) and only Tina Marie, Miss Parker and DMJ scored in double figures.

The highlight? Tina got sent to the bench by an elbow to the eye. Diana says it wasn't her, but Swin is not quite sure.

The USA site will have some additional quotes in a bit (if you think the players are tired after 3 games in a row, just think how the staff feels. Caroline, you should have hired me as your lackey!). Kym has handed over her "My Take" spot to Ms. Spoon.

Yes, the USA won by 48 today over Canada in another blowout, but this team isn't too cocky. They have their heads on straight. They're constantly reminding themselves that they're not the defending World Champions and they understand how important it is to win right now to qualify for the Olympics. They're also going out every day to try to restate their dominance and reclaim their place on top of the international game.

Allow me one minor snipe at the Liberty pr peeps: How come no one sent out an email telling Lib fans that Kym and Spoon were doing these gigs? Is it because it's on NBAtv and not MSG? Silly, if you ask me... And, since you are asking me, I'm betting the traffic to WNBA.com has dropped since the fantabulous playoffs. I know it ain't Donna's job (really? it isn't), but who didn't send out an WNBA email blast to everyone about Kym, Spoon, the .com coverage....

End o' snipe.

Next up: Argentina in the semi-finals.

By the way, Cuba beat Jamaica (76-62) and Canada (75-52). They go up against Brazil.
