What can you say about Durant. He was more than just great in this tournament. He was flat out scary.

Odom was great. He deserves some apologies from some of the haters.

I don't think I'll read any more Rose deserves to be compared to Durant post and not Westbrook.

Iggy is actually playing in the perfect system. Watching him now you see he would be a great third option. He sucks as your best offensive player.

Billups was also horrible. We would have won by 40 if he had played a decent game.

It was a great tournament to watch. Happy we got the win. When this all started I didn't think we had enough to get it done. Durant was so good though it didn't matter.

Best part is we don't have to qualify for the Olympics now. Also no major injuries so everyone should be good to go for there NBA teams.

get out of here.


+1 Chosen1 is nothing but a troll

He is the reason why people dislike heat posters on RealGM so much, even though there are a few good ones (like Tim_Hardawayy)

Nothing but trolls

Wtf, if you recheck the thread, I haven't just talked about Rose, I've been trolling yet you continue to reply.

I called out Rose, for playing poorly and underachieving compared to what I expected, which even some Bulls fans have, but I get called out? C'mon man

I expected Rose to explode this season too, but since my avatar says Heat I'm clearly a troll and hater, even though I've joined way before July. I'm done arguing bro, lets just enjoy the Gold! :D

That said, Congratulations.

The expressions on these guys faces say other wise. They look like they care. There was so much doubt surround this team and they proved all of those doubters wrong.


I know these guys care and I don't mind their emotions. I'm just talking about the guys who decided to skip out because they consider WC a "lesser" event.

I at least hope USA will start treating this tournament with respect and not just overlooking. I don't care if USA wins WC, just treat it with decency. That applies to American fans as well.


Treat it with decency??? What the heck are you talking about??? This team has shown nothing but respect for the other teams. It's the European players and fans who need to start showing some respect! The whole arrogant American argument doesn't work anymore. We're the best and we proved it by winning the Olympics and this tournament.

USA #1!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Your reading comprehension is lacking. Or you're just that biased and you couldn't wait to rant again.
