bargnani --> murray (potential)
vasquez --> powell

Masai is getting great value for players that we just want to dump for a bag of balls.

Honestly if Heslip keeps shooting like he's shooting I can't see a way that we leave him off the FIBA squad. Could take English's spot backing up Nik.

Try updating flash


It's not the flash that's the problem.

It says "This video is not working or is not available in your territory. Please check again later on" which I don't get since I'm in Alberta and another poster from BC is watching it.

I don't think Cadougan is this bad though because when I watched him at MU he was pretty solid at running the O and directing traffic. His shoulder must of been f'd up on that screen like what happened to Shump
Basketball is like poetry in motion, cross the guy to the left, take him back to the right, he's fallin back, then just J right in his face. Then you look at him and say, "What?" - Jesus Shuttlesworth

What struck me in first half is how quick and decisive Heslip was. Once he gets the ball there was no hesitation - he was shooting or driving right away.

Canada went small, especially for the last 4 minutes of the half, with Ejim and Doornekamp as the two biggest guys (on floor with Murray, Heslip and either Mullings or English).

Wiltjer was only guy not to play.

Ejim played the (nominal) 4 rather than 3. And with Brooks barely playing, that meant a lot of time with Doornekamp on the floor.

Bennett's short to mid range jumper looked good.

I can't remember if it was last year or two years ago when he was playing with the Senior team, but he was pretty underwhelming then too. It was only one half, but it went about as bad as it could for him especially since every other guard showed at least something.

I don't get why Wiltjer hasn't gotten any PT.

he had a single digit PER in the italian league, never had a league average PER in college. I mean he's never been that good anywhere he's played.


I'd much rather see Daniel Mullings at PG. he did it quite a bit at NMSU

Refs are awful...First Bhullar clean block and than Bennett's pump fake.

Heslip, Nicholson, Bennett, Murray, Ejim, are all looking good.

He must be injured because he's way better than dorenkamp.
