Final:

USA vs ???

USA vs Spain. Best backcourt & overall vs best frontcourt.

I think so.

Gasol/Gasol/Ibaka
Navarro/Rudy/Claver
Rubio/Carderon/Sergio Rodriguez

Even Miratovic (Bulls) is out.

Team USA is playing a scrimmage tonight at 6pm on ESPN in case anyone is interested. It's basically another all-star game.

I'm a bit nervous about this roster. I won't be shocked if we get upset. No Kobe. No Lebron. No Howard. No Love. No Carmelo. This sort of reminds me of the 2004 team. However. I have faith in Coach K to pull it together.

The hopes of this team's 7 footer-less front-court rest on DeMarcus Cousins, Andre Drummond while the team overall will rely on Mr. Passive In Big Moments. If they don't get strong chemistry fast, it won't be good.

Cant believe Paul George is locked for a roster spot. He's horrible.

D-Rose is back.

Looking at the guys playing for a spot at the 4 and 5 positions, Chris Mihm (circa 2005) would have a decent shot at making this team. He would at least be better than some of the guys currently on the 20 man roster.

Which says a lot about the guys actually competing to make the team

It looked like Paul George just broke or dislocated his ankle...

ibitegirls · Star Player Joined: 29 Dec 2011 Posts: 4204

Holy crap at the Paul George leg/ankle injury. That looked horrible.

I'm less than impressed by this team. Too many young guys and not enough true alpha males.

Wow that looked terrible

Christopher C · Star Player Joined: 13 Mar 2006 Posts: 6292

They should just cancel the rest of the game.

ibitegirls · Star Player Joined: 29 Dec 2011 Posts: 4204

Can't believe that just happened. Man. How was that even possible. Damn Dam.

Hope he recovers fast.
