We need Rose to step his game up. Someone has to come play with Durant.

Durant is being extremely aggressive, I like it.

I know this is a little unorthodox, but why doesn't Coach K run more big on big pick and rolls? Having someone like KD and Odom running the pick and roll could kill Brazil.

Without Durant, this USA team would get in trouble in this tournament. Amazing how he takes all responsibility and comes through for the USA all the time when the others looked stunned and confused.

Durant has half of the teams points. Someone else seriously needs to step up and help him; Gay, granger, rose, someone.

Team USA has a roster full of scorers who can't score today.
