How ****ing good does it feel dude. So many close calls ...
Feel like chopping out some big fat lines and partying... Blokes at work are looking at me assuming I have anyway...

This is why no one wants to play for Team USA when there's no commitment from the top players.
The only time they make news is when they lose.

Yes, they did. I saw very little teamwork from the U.S.
Why are people upset? Not surprising that USA lost, the guys have playing together for a month with guys coming and going. Australia has NBA players on their team and they just got beat by the USA two nights ago. The intimidation factor of USA has long gone bye-bye. However, let the Aussie's enjoy their moment. In the long run this loss is good for the USA because now they know victory isn't guaranteed. The loss means little in regards to the World Cup except maybe the rest of the world knows USA can be beat when they don't bring their A team.
I am still cheering for USA and not going to bash them for losing an exhibition game.

The fact that USA started Marcus Smart over Kemba to get him some reps should tell you that USA more or less treated this as a scrimmage.
For sure. I was happy to see Joe break out. In regards to Donovan, I’m not really sure I love all the midrange he seems to be in love with. He’s been taking a lot of shots a foot or two inside the 3 point line.
Part of that is because he didn’t get the ball enough to get in a rhythm but I do kinda wonder how Conley will end up impacting him this year. Conley can do more than Rubio, and will probably take more shots than Ricky. I’m not sure Donovan’s PPG go up this season they may go down given our roster now. These are just exhibition games and lots of tournament left to play, his defense has been solid but I have to say he doesn’t look like he’s taken that D-Wade take you to a title in his 3rd season kinda improvement so far. He’s looked pretty good overall, and I’m not one of those stats guys but he’s been taking a lot of mid-range jumpers instead of driving to the hoop or getting 3’s. He spent too much time around Melo this summer lol.
Honestly he needs the ball more though. It’s why even if Kemba has been a realistic option for the Jazz it may not have been great for Donovan’s development.
I’m one who’s more skeptical about him making a massive jump in PPG. Not because he can’t. We’re adding a 20+ PPG scorer and a 18 PPG scorer. My official prediction was that he increased by like 0.4 PPG, but if there was a drop by a point or two, it would not surprise me.

Yeah, other teams are really terrified of Mason Plumlee and Joe Harris.
