How is patty Mills not under an NBA contract right now; he could start for a handful of NBA teams, plus Germany sucks.

Really?
I watched half of the game vs Croatia and all but first part of 3rd quarter against Slovenia and wasn't very impressed. Specially not with then way he runs a team.

Why are all of these announcers so annoying? "Seventy two plays forty" who refers to a team by their score, and he's done that all game. Very odd.

Wow at Tunisia. Got back to a 4 point game after being down by 16 just a couple of minutes ago. 12-0 run.

Durant and Team USA in attendance just laughing at these awful teams.

I've been wondering about it too. Our first half was awful defensively. Our intensity wasn't there and our help defense sucked for the most part of it. It can't become worse than that.

need to move the ball on offense, and AI stop giving it away.

US Team is just an average team with an amazing basketball player in Durant!

BarbaGrizz · Post #1177 » by **BarbaGrizz** » Mon Aug 30, 2010 7:24 pm

btw, just wonder if we had Varejao playing...with him Brazil would be up by 15; with both him and Nene, Brazil would be up by 25!

This is only our C-team and still more talented than any other one in this tournament. We just need to execute better, especially on defense and limit these stupid turnovers. This is like Christmas for you guys so far, everybody could be up against us in that one.
