This should be USA's toughest opponent in the first round.
I can’t watch so I’ll be following the game on here.
I’m hoping any of Derrick’s contributions are noted in this thread.

Pretty pumped to see Splitter play.
Never watched him before. Should be a fun game.
Deng/Boozer/Noah: All your rebound are belong to us.
Franny Fran doesn't know anything about basketball

Terrible pass by Derrick right to Barbosa for a turnover and Brazil basket
Deng/Boozer/Noah: All your rebound are belong to us.
Brasil will not miss any shots at all

Rose is so fast with the ball
he outran the player trying to foul him to stop the break.

Our interior defense is completely non-existent

I'd like to see Rose chill on those floaters a little
Attack the basket. Get fouled.

Who is the passer in this 5?
Westbrook, Gordon, Gay, Durant, Love.

Has Odom done one good thing all day?
Either play Kevin Love or put Chandler in to put some fear in these guys inside
Deng/Boozer/Noah: All your rebound are belong to us.
Coach K won't put Splitter in foul trouble
Get Odom at the top and let him take Splitter off the dribble. Or get a high screen with Rose to see if Splitter can guard an attacking Rose.

eh, it's not his fault he's getting picked 2-3x every position
he’s got 2 steals and has been decent in isolation, but that Brazil PG is pretty damn quick
Deng/Boozer/Noah: All your rebound are belong to us.
still he's looking real sluggish coming off of the picks
which is probably why they keep setting picks on him
yeah, but he's also getting literally zero help defense
their team defense has been awful. but that’s what happens when lamar odom is your center.
Deng/Boozer/Noah: All your rebound are belong to us.
exactly. it's not up to the picked man to defend it all by himself.
the worst thing i’ve seen is a few hedges that turned into 2 on 1 at the rim real quick.
The name of the team is ARIZONA DIAMONDBACKS - "I tried to convince them that what they were doing was an aberration, an imbecility, a stupidity without name"
The worst thing pertaining to his overall defense?
or just considering the pnrs? Because he’s also gotten completely shook by Marcelinho (sp?) several times…
Rose/Westbrook backcourt is the one I think should be utilized the most
Deng/Boozer/Noah: All your rebound are belong to us.
problem is you have shit shooting from your guards then

3 at the half.

man pnr just fking killing
from now on instead of saying "go fuck yourself" im gunna just say "go join the heat"
This was the same thing that happened in 06 against Greece
If the defending PG is screened, they have still recover to take away the passing lane from the ball handler. That PG isn’t going to finish at the rim with a US big on him. He is going to pass the ball or pull back.

Brazil actually runs offense, whereas I'm trying really hard to figure out WTF we are doing on that end of the court.
We’ve run maybe 2 pick and rolls for Derrick all game. We’re jacking up awful shots left and right. Basically everyone has sucked besides Durant.

Has anyone else noticed that Rose cant seem to play his game for team USA?
Is it me or are the lanes just crowded and giving rose a hard time driving into the paint?
No, I think he can do his thing
He’s just so hesitant to take over. He needs an entire team of people telling him it’s ok before he goes off

when they have a common first name i tend to use their last name. and visa versa

if we play argentina they could be a tough matchup
esp if Delfino starts shooting the lights out like he tends to do vs. the Bulls
just got here...
no feed to watch the game… how’s Rose playing?
Let Rose lead the offense, go to the basket and either score, get fouled or find KD. Simple.
Some games everyone plays and scores and some games leaders need to step up.
Maybe they're relying on Durant too much
If he has an off night in an elimination game, we’re fucked
