Seems like we don't have a place to talk about all of these games. I figured we could discuss them here.

Bjelica was a complete non-factor. I was hoping to see a bit more out of him.

I keep missing USA's games. I haven't seen one yet. Has Pek been playing?

Rubio is playing on NBATV. He's having a pretty nice game so far.

Those international championships are too long, too many nations, the important thing starts after the second week. I don't care watch New Zeeland vs Spain. I go watch motorbikes in Indianapolis ... brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr ...

Love Against Slovenia Today 

Post#13 » by Kurosawa » Sun Aug 29, 2010 7:53 pm

13 minutes
10 points
11 rebounds

A Wolf Among Wolves--a hard-edged, level-headed guy not prone to hyperbole--calls Kevin Love the greatest rebounder in the world. I don't know about that, but he's certainly one of the top five, and may be the most efficient.

Well if you go by the numbers, he truly is the best rebounder in the world. And because he gets those numbers, he obviously puts in the work to be called that.

Seriously, Love should start. He's shown far more than Chandler and Odom so far.
