Team USA vs France August 15, 2010 exhibition game thread

Is it just me, or does Diaw look kind of fat?

lol yea I noticed that too

[joyner82]

Our best rebounder being Durant could pose a problem. Love gets no PT and Chandler just doesn't care apparently. This could actually be good for his development however because he is operating almost entirely as a power forward and never running off screens/getting iso's at the top of the key like he normally would.

LOL @ USA basketball. Looking terrible in the half court sets. France embarrassing them right now.

Ouch.

[JustinJDW]

I really wish Tony Parker was playing so he could absolutely shit all over that weak frontline for like 25+ in the paint, and force the USA to make some changes.

On another note, Nando De Colo! San Antonio Spurs property.

Kevin Durant trying to score when they are up 30. Dude have some class and stop stat padding. You scored 11 points.

I think he had 14 on 10 shots

not bad considering he started 0-5

[Yung D-Will]

It seems obvious Coach K wants to go with






Rondo-Billups
and
Rose-Curry

[joyner82]

Westbrook needs to be cut. He sucks.

I was saying, he had a legit 11 points. I always look at those points Kobe or Lebron try to score in a blow out to make it look like they had a pretty good game. It's just so obvious what is going on in the head of these guys.

"Damn, 22 points is ok, but if I get 24 or 25 points it will look like I dominated".

Westbrook plays amazing defence and has pretty good athletic abilities.

He's the worst non big man on the team outside of Granger and we need his shooting in case he gets hot. Westbrook contributes nothing the other points dont and we have 5 of them.

I would have liked to see OJ Mayo on the final roster. I think his shooting ability would help this team out and the fact that they would actually have a shooting guard on the roster. Why did they cut him? He played very well in the first White vs. Blue scrimmage.

First let's just state regardless of what team we send out we are going to win gold.

I think it had to do with USC scandal, Mike Krzyzewski being one of the godfathers of college basketball, he had in his mind not to keep Mayo. Before this year Krzyzewski, loved Mayo's game even invited hiim to be apart of the 2008 US Men's Select team, but after the allegations proved to be true it flipped 180.

He is a shooting guard, that can shoot and can create his own shot, that is what international basketball is about, something we didn't have in the 2004 Olympic team.

Somehow Russell Westbrook and Jeff Green made it in front him, there is just no justification for it none.

[Samurai Swoosh]

The game is already over? WTF ... what was the score?

[DuMa]

wish they cut granger instead of green. at least green or mcgee gives more real front court depth for USA. Granger is a great player but not cut out to be a 4 at all.
