:lol the only reason USA players cause turnovers is due to their athleticism and speed. They are not a good defensive team IMO.

Magnano runs circles around most "american coaches"

Harden, what a selfish pOS he had Davis alone and decided to take it to the hole vs. 3 brazilians :lol

Splitter back in for dat final push for the win :downspin:

Yeah, he raped the us team in 2004. But he is the main team coach only. The rest is relegated to some old fucks, mostly former players without a college degree. The brazilian backcourt can't play against Curry-Harden,-Irving-Thompson, lol

:lol Harden 3-1 break, and takes it himself.

team USA is about dunking and that is it. they need to start moving the ball

That's game

Splitter just got shitted on :lol

There's nothing old school about Harden drawing fouls. Old school players would bitchslap Harden.

Davis is a fucking beast

Boheim's zone is so overrated. I can't wait till it's exposed on a bigger scale versus teams like Spain.

yup easily best athlete in the NBA and best bigman. plus he got range and the right attitude. Good for the nba

Splitter, this is not the Spurs.

USA is good, but most of it is sheer amount of players to rotate. Brazil has to put in Larry Taylor and Raulzinho to rest starters -.-

save for a couple of monkeyballing plays, Rose was pretty meh

The score is deceptive but it was a lot closer for most of the game up until Davis blew this game open. Davis was a huge reason for the US winning this game.

It's a practice game... Im sure both coach K and Magnano are gonna save the good stuff for when the games matter... still, good game overall

Down 5 to start the 4th, now they are down 22... mental midget Brazil will mental midget always

James Harden 11 Fts =/

Splitter is very good on this team.
They need him.

The Spurs will keep him also.
Overall, Tiago had a good game.

And overall, this illustrates how bad a bunch of good players can be.
This is simply barbaric basketball won by the team with the big club just bullying.

The players that withdrew from Team USA just don't get it.

All of these games will be on ESPN. 10's of millions of people will be watching. The player's brands will gain value, and NBA teams will be watching to see who to sign come next free agency.

America cares. The world cares. And the players should absolutely care. The players that withdrew (including Kawhi) are the ones who look like fools for missing out on all of this.

Any chances to the Spurs get Davis?

Pretty clear this team goes as far as Davis takes them...

Should a player risk globalizing his "brand" to possibly get a bad injury? Before the Paul George injury, this was a question I'm sure ran through the minds of these players. Now even more so.

Next game is vs Dominican Republic, Wed at 7PM EST on NBTV
