.....die!

I've watched Germany in all their games (because of Dirk, one of my favorite players to watch)

And with all due respect, they are gonna get waxed bad. Their guard play is horrible which you can't have against the US. Kaman has honestly been a disappointment from what I've seen, very turnover prone.

The US players, specifically Lebron will lock in on Dirk and Germany is toast. On top of that after just losing to China I don't even think they can still make the elimination round, so will really have nothing to play for.

At least this one didn't pop up till the game was over. Really this game feels like filler, we've already clinched the top spot, Germany's either eliminated or might as well be. Biggest challenge is keeping up the momentum.

Careful bro, you are playing with fire here. These are Texas Longhorn's lifeblood. And then to come out with a dibs on a game thread. I think Longhorn is on suicide watch.

Wade vs. Dirk.

EDIT: Oh yeah, I'm expecting a 70+ point blowout.

Texas Longhorns got waived. I wasnt going to make this thread, since I made the last one, but the game has been over for a while and no one had made a new one, so I figured what the hell....

[b-ball forever]

USA by a zillion.

Poor Caveman...

[CB4MiamiHeat]

bring back TexasLongHorn...i feel bad, this thread startign stuff was very important to him

If creating threads is really that important to him, maybe he's better off being waived. Some fresh air will do him good.

[Dedicated_76ers_fan]

What did Longhorn do? He was no worse then bastards like Lakers 4 life and Sofowhatever, who still thinks his scrubbie Spain team can come within twenty!. Jose Calderon played as well as he did in Toronto because of the big support system in Bosh and Baragani and the others. I didn't see any stellar creating from Ricky Rubio, but what I DID see was a PG who plays within the flow of the game. And for a 17 yr old teen, that's impressive.

[sdeezy]

Play the scrubs.

Rest Wade/Bron/Kobe.

lol @ scrub lineup

Paul - 21/11
D-Will- 19/10
Redd-23/4/3
Prince-13/4/3
Boozer-21/10

damn we're stacked

[carrottop12]

The real scrub line up is as follows:

Kidd
Redd
Kobe
Prince
Boozer

Those 5 have done the least compared to the others play at their position. It is arguable that you could drop Melo in at SF instead of Kobe, but Kobe's jacking of shots has been horrendous.

P.S. How did Longhorn get waived? His entire goal of being here was to get himself into Moderator status. What a sharp decline.
