They suck against heavy ball pressure.
To secure ourselves against defeat lies in our own hands, but the opportunity of defeating the enemy is provided by the enemy himself.
Team USA is starting to play better under FIBA rules, i.e., foul everytime on defense
since they won’t be calling it.
Wow, Gay

Rondo

Has Montiejunas played so far?

is that Dallas' draft pick?
if so yes, in the beginning at least they were talking about him
The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn't exist.
No, he didn't enter the draft this year
You’re thinking of Beaubois, who plays for France.

Wow, Westbrook

Remember that the FIBA line is shorter
So it’s more like a regular NBA three from that range.

Forgot about that. Guess I should be able to tell by looking at the court, lol
Mmm. 5 delicious chocolate chip cookies.
The Redeem Team often took to doing that
because the FIBA line is shorter than what they’re used to.

since the games seem to be so physical
I say Curry goes. But then again they need shooters to and he is probably the most reliable one.
"That means no more coming into camp fat and out of shape, when your team is relying on your leadership on and off the court. It also means no more blaming others for our team's failure, or blaming staff members for not overdramatizing your injuries so that you avoid blame for your lack of conditioning. " Kobe on Shaq being a leader
fuck
when did this game start?
Ammo is known as a shooter, scorer, defensive specialist, and all around god-like warrior from another planet sent to placate the masses. There was a Sanskrit passage I remember from my doctoral thesis in ancient languages, it’s eerie, but I believe it has some bearing on the Adam Morrison for MVP rumors I’ve heard lately.
मूंछ नायक दो हज़ार ग्यारह में जीत जाएगा. उसे डर. शॉ की स्तुति करो.
Taken from a tablet removed from the mummified bowels of a nursing camel, and believed to have belonged to the prophet and fakir (I’m going to do this in English so you get an idea of the pronunciation) Be’ryo’n Zsh’aw. The translation is as follows: The mustache hero will win in two thousand eleven. Fear him. Praise Shaw. Do not doubt.

I vote that they get rid of Rondo so that I dont have to root for a team with a Celtic on it
Fuck Him!

I guess i missed the game
Seems like team usa still has some kinks to work out. seems like a slow start team that grinds it out until we blow them out later in the game
