[Cangri]

So what's the final roster for team USA?

[RazorBaLade]

Where is Gawdbe? Will he win us another gold medal? Goldbe?

[BuffaloBill]

Why Durant always have a towel over his head?

[kuniva_dAMiGhTy]

When will the practices (or scrimages and qualifiers) be available for stream?

[HEAT111]

Why Durant always have a towel over his head?

He hasn't taken it off ever since Game 5 of the Finals.

[CelticBaller]

[LA_Showtime]

Where is Gawdbe? Will he win us another gold medal? Goldbe?

By the looks of it Chris Paul ate him.

[KingJames99]

When will the practices (or scrimages and qualifiers) be available for stream?

No qualifier for USA but i think they start playing warm up games on the 22nd not 100% sure though.

Other countries are already playing warm up games GB vs France tomorrow.

Kobe hairline is pretty bad too but he doesnt hide it like Bron. Anthony Davis gets a pass because he doesnt give a shit about his appearance.

Right. There probably wasn't a single smile cracked or an audible laugh made during any of the 1992 Dream Team practices and scrimmages. During times of inactivity, when they were just sitting on the bench, or standing around, I bet they just stood there with expressionless faces, shooting periodic death glares at their teammates.

Blake is a virtual lock, fight for the last 2 spots is between Gordon, Harden, Davis, Iggy, and Gay I think

[LA_Showtime]

Good thing Blake has a career average of 11.5 rpg and 3.5 apg to go along with that dunking. Amazing that a guy who only dunks who's only played 2 seasons can lead the NBA in points in the paint too :bowdown: .

Those numbers are misleading. Blake isn't a good rebounder and his playmaking abilities are average. He has to learn how to box out instead of relying on his freaky athleticism.

:roll: You should really watch him sometime instead of trolling. Great playmaker passer for a PF. How can you be a raw kid and put up 11.5 rpg over two seasons and be a "not good" rebounder :facepalm .

[7_cody]

Anyone find videos yet?

[Yung D-Will]

So what's the news on Gordon v Harden?

[The Choken One]

There's no way Harden should make it over Gordon...

and are they really lacking so hard in centers that Davis has a shot to make it? Pretty damn weak, honestly. I would love to see DCousins out there... one of my favorite young players.

[L3B120N J4M35]

The final team will be announce at 7 PM ET on NBA TV.

interesting. didn't think they'd choose so soon

[chazzy]

Marc Stein ‏@ESPNSteinLine
Blake Griffin is a mortal lock for roster spot No. 10 and Andre Iguodala and James Harden are clear faves for No. 11 & No. 12. As it stands

[blacknapalm]

^ slightly surprised at iggy but i figured harden would go over gordon because of his versatility. harden can also play about three different positions adequately. iggy is clearly there for defensive purposes

He averaged 7 rebounds in the playoffs. It was obvious to anyone who watched him that the only reason he was a good rebounder in the regular season was because of his athleticism. In fact his whole game was exposed in the playoffs.

And yes, I would argue his playmaking is average. Nothing he does makes me think he's a gifted passer who can see the floor ala LeBron.

Ugh... are you retarded? No shit he's not Lebron. He doesn't need to be. He's still one of the better passing PF's of all time. Career 3.5 apg for a player who supposedly doesn't even know how to play yet. He can run a fastbreak and run plays like a PG and he does it a couple times a game. In fact you can find him crossing over players on Youtube too. To act like he's not a very highly skilled player makes you look stupid.

So rather than look at 150 games or so in the regular season in which he put up 11.5 rpg.. you're going to use 11 playoff games as the sample?? :facepalm . Dude was matched up with the Grizzlies in round one who are an elite rebounding and paint team.. and had multiple injuries in both rounds.

[REACTION]

That doesn't make sense. His athleticism didn't disappear in the playoffs. It was obviously a mental thing for Griffin. You could tell he wasn't playing like himself. He's one of the best rebounding PFs in the league right now, but he wasn't playing up to his standards in the postseason this year. Probably due to it being his first playoffs.

[DuMa]
