Team USA and FIBA 2014 World Cup

[Jack Brickman]

Your round fatless "bacon" is total bullshit.

I do see Australia and Canada as the fastest rising powers in international ball. You have that going for you.

If Wiggins turns into an elite player and Bennett turns into one that isn't completely useless, Team Canada could be really legit in a couple of years. They'll still get stomped by us, but it might at least be kind of competitive.

So Kyrie vs Andy on the 16th.

They suck.

Per Windy, Mason Plumlee might make Team USA. Not the select team, the actual team.

Mason Plumlee. On Team USA. Can't wait to roll him out against the Gasols in Spain.


From a nice little update he wrote on the Olympic roster.

Really pulling for Kyrie to make the USA team but I'm feeling more and more like he'll ultimately be left off the official roster. Just trying to put 2 and 2 together based off what I have heard/read over the last couple days.

 

[Adam]

I think tonight's scrimmage will be telling. If he can hit his shots find the gaps in the zone and keep his man in front of him then he should do well

 

[kevin02]

So the select team doesn't play in this game then? I had been expecting it to be like last year but it sounds like it's just the Team USA guys scrimmaging each other.

I was hoping to get to see Kyrie vs Dion but oh well.

 

[Cashius X]

Derrick Rose looking like his old MVP self. Really happy for him.

 

[Ohio]

Rose looks good...

 

[Walter White]

So is this the game thread for the game or what.

 

[Los216]

This is fun

 

[Soar]

Anthony Davis looks huge.

 

[Cashius X]

Shit everybody looks impressive and good to be honest lol. Except Paul George. Seems to be forcing the issue a lot offensively.

 

[Los216]

I think Kyrie and Rose have only played against eachother one time before.

 

[kevin02]

Yeah Rose out ran Kyrie twice in a row to get 2 easy shots. It seems like Kyrie is looking to pass right now though.
