that's not a travel
Meh.. Brazil was killing team USA with pick and rolls in the first half... Nene and Varejao could have finished that too and kept Splitter fresh and not in foul trouble...
that's not a travel
Odom back in, time for Splitter to dominate
big travel/carry by Odom there, lol
I'm sorry but LOL @ the thought of either Nene or Varejao being even a quarter as good as Splitter on a PnR.
Odom doing AND1 basketball and no call
Splitter picks up his 4th foul on a iffy charge call
hmm 4th on Splitter....bad
Odom travel.
Odom flop.
Tiago to bench in foul trouble
Splitter 4 fouls and dead tired. Yeah, Nene and Sideshow bob would have been irrelevant
Splitter with four. Brazil really could use Nene here.
Only way Odom can defend Splitter. Get him in foul trouble by flopping lol.
They can finish... and don't underestimate the fact that Splitter is not going to try to block shots anymore because he's in foul trouble...
Depth matters Manny...
Yeah, with Nene in there he'd ing dominate the way he does in the NBA.
ESPN needs to fix their game clock , not showing right now
JP Batista
Maybe with Nene, Thiago wouldn't be in foul trouble and dead tired...
No depth matters - doesn't matter nearly as much as Brazil's guards hitting every 3 they take. Nene wasn't going to make Brazil win this game but their guards not missing was.
People should really go back to look at my first post on the matter.
Nene is a top 6-8 center in the NBA, meanwhile the guy Brazil has in there is barely a Wikipedia entry. If that.
Maybe with Nene they would run an offense through him and their guards woudl never have gone off. Maybe with Nene Lamar Odom woudln't be the best player for Brazil on the court.
Wow, I didn't know Splitter had 4 steals.
irrelevant, because Brazil guards shoot shots
Just admit you were wrong Manny. Stop being so stubborn.
Enough on the "Splitter" tired excuse. He's having a good game, why belittle it by making him sound like he's out of shape.
P.S. Durant is playing as many minutes as Splitter.
It matters from a defensive standpoint.. if you're not hitting 3's then you have to defend the rim, especially against an over-the-top athletic team like Team USA. Who's going to block shots in Brazil outside Splitter?
Nene can do that, and Varejao, while not a shot blocker, is a pesky defender.
Don't get it wrong. Brazil needs everything going right, including having their best players available to beat this Team USA.
