AD with 15 points so far on the way to a 50+ win.
Davis with 17 and 4 on 6-8 shooting in only 14 mins.
Curry can dunk :O
Is it really smart to have AD playing in this thing?
Id rather AD start the season fresh, its a long season and hopefully postseason and this guy hasn't had a healthy season yet.
Today, USA will face with Turkey. AD vs. Asik. It will be hard game for Turkey. Absence of Enes Kanter, Ersan Ilyasova, Hedo Turkoglu is problem.
Favorite bucket was midway through the first when they isolated AD on a face up from about 15 feet away from the bucket. He blew by his defender with ease and finished at the rim (thought he got fouled too).
Obvious that he has been working on his ball handling. I can't wait to see his post up game - though I don't think we will much of that in International ball.
He's only going to be playing 15-20 minutes a game due to blowouts and only 40 minute overall game, except he might get 25-30 in the Championship game. So it's not like it's going to wear him out.
Besides, all these guys would be playing right now anyway. They'd be playing pickup games somewhere.
I think this is a common misconception among fans. Davis would be training every day on his own, regardless of his status on the USA team. That said, he is now training with some of the best coaches in the world and against some of the best players in the world. Moreover, players play games all off season, and they are usually organized so that some NBA guys can play against each other with some scrub fillers to round out the teams.
AD would be playing live basketball games no matter what, but I would much rather he play against top tier talent, with top tier coaching and trainers to help him recover. Really, the main source of stress lies in all of the traveling that he is doing, but that's a quick fix.
It is always important to play in events that carry high Importance. Especially, on a team that isn't used to winning.
Harden could care less about his shooting %. He's never seen a shot that he didn't like
People hate on K Irving for no reason. Dude can play
I'd let D Rose shoot jumpers the entire game. His jumper is broken
Asik has been really good. AD hasn't touched the ball so far, and he's generally been a deterrent at the rim and a rebounding machine. Unfortunately, that 3 was a really ugly shot. Asik is not a stretch anything.
Asik might be one of the best pick-ups Dell has made. Bigs bully AD. AD is best suited for the 4 IMO
While he was in... Omer dominated Davis and boogie. Man I'm excited about this season.
USA needs to feed da bigs
Asik with the block
Asik is making Cousins look foolish. Cousins is so used to being able to bully ball and create space. But he throws his body into Asik and he's still right there.
