49-48 US at the half.

Walker 12, Smart 6, Brown 5 and Tatum 2.

Celtic players with 25 of the 49 points for the US.

At this point I think you cut Harrison Barnes. Dude is trash.

That's interesting.
I'm a little concerned with our fouls.

He’s covering 4s and they have used their size. But overall, he has been competing and he altered a few shots at the end of the quarter. The team played much better when Brown and Tatum came back in.

I just don’t see any need for Barnes with the current wing depth on the team. White is a versatile ball handler that can guard multiple position. He just seems more valuable as 12th man.

I think Kemba’s in for a really big year. Making the all star team last year & leading the US basketball team is going to do wonders for his confidence.

Yeah. It's kinda tough to decide, with only 12 Players.
Especially when we're used to 15 players; 17 including the Two-Ways.

Pop comes to his sense and starts Walker and Turner for the 2nd half.

Turner making a big difference already on both ends and the glass.

Lopez and Plumlee have been bad.

He has made the all-star game 3 straight times and is a top 3 PG in the league. Curry, Lillard and Kemba.
