Intresting teams they are split into for team practices. I'm sure they are trying all combinations.

Wow, Deron looks really badass in those pics. Does anyone know if the U.S./Canada game will be televised?

Team USA playing right now on ESPN2, Williams just scored a jump shot off his cross-over...

Is anybody else watching this game? USA is dominating. Deron just had a sweet play where he had a fast break one-on-one and made the guy look stu***!

I have to wait until tomarrow to watch.

Okay, I'm not a Melo Fan, but that play was sweet! Full court pass from Kidd to Melo, before running out of bound Melo dishes back to Bosh, who's running down the middle of the lane, for a crazy dunk...WOW!

Deron ended with like 14 pts. His 3 wasnt falling but he looked awesome getting to the rim. They played him as a 2 guard with Chris Paul as point. I wonder when LeBron plays which one of them is going to get the backup minutes. Deron is built for international play, but CP is maybe the best lob thrower in the game. He had a ridiculous one to Dwight Howard at one point that I dont know how he saw. I think they played Deron at the 2 because CP needs the ball to be productive.

And that fastbreak move by Deron was awesome. Everyone on Team USA got up off the bench, but right after that he got a vicious block which went unnoticed.

Boozer only had a couple of buckets. Seemed to be Team USA's 12th man. Did have one really nice block. When he puts his mind to it he can get up to block a shot. http://youtube.com/watch?v=8IuHQEdO_s4 see 0:36 in that video.

I'm sure once we get closer to the Olympics they will become available. The only Deron Williams team USA Jerseys I've seen are on ebay, but they are $150 + because they are autographed!

Yeah same, and they look really cheap to, the ones they wore against canada looked really nice.

"A few plays earlier, Williams hit the deck (and stayed there for a couple of minutes) when he took a hard shot to the head from Dwight Howard on a drive."

Neither Booze nor Deron had a great showing this morning against Turkey. Deron had 1 pretty looking driving scoop layup.

Poor Deron. They have him playing SG next to CP13. It also is looking like CP will be the backup PG.

Everyone keep in mind that Team USA is playing Andrei Kirilenko and Russia August 3 at 1 AM SLC time. Should be a fun one to watch. I have the DVR set already.

Deron looks hesistant like he did in the first part of last season. He just needs to get going. And Boozer just needs to play.

Teams are playing GREAT against the pick n roll to where Booz can't get any looks.
