so you dont think lebron, love, melo etc. are strong their the 6'3 people gaurding them? hell even dwill could back down the people they are putting on him.

I'm talking about the PF/C position not the the wings...

[Miss_318]

im not the one jumping to conclusions after 1 quarter of a basketball game.

What part of I'm joking don't u understand. Plus, I'm making an observation about the size issue that almost every analyst has pointed out. Not saying these guys aren't gonna win just making an assessment. dang.

[AD23forMVP]

I don't really understand why AD isn't getting any playing time.

I could understand if this game counted, but it doesn't.

It's in Team USA's best interest to get everyone somewhat evenly distributed minutes.

so only the pfs and centers can use their size to their advantage?

"They are going to have a hard time with teams that have bigs you can already tell..."

funny joke.

OMG. dude u really need to chill out. U act like I'm saying they not even gonna get out of the first group in the tournament. Stop taking everything so seriously. I'm just making an observation. U making it seem like I'm denouncing the American team. I'M NOT. Am I offending u or something?

i agree with you, but they arent just going to give PT to a rookie, going to make them earn it. IIRC even lebron didnt but around 12 mpg in 04

I agree as well, but like I said these games don't count.

Once the real games start I'd expect him to ride the bench at a pretty high rate.

[BallSoHard]

Love isnt getting much time either.

[Eman5805]

Only reason I can figure is because the game is still close. If we start blowing them out, he might get some time. All the same, he's never going to get game experience from the bench.

[bojangles837]

Brazil came out hard but they'll probably wear themselves out.

That's what she said

no, im making it seem like you saying "they are going to have a hard time with teams that have bigs you can already tell..." because of 1 quarter of an exhibition game is overreacting. which it is. so stop crying about it and move on. omg dude you need to chill you act like, good Lord, you commented on something and i questioned it, back it up or take a chill pill.

[Eman5805]

Chris Paul still straight up ripping people. Not playing passing lanes, nah, straight ripping 'em.

And what do you mean "No Blake Griffin to catch that"? You bass ackwards buffoon. The reason Blake said Lob City was cuz of the lobs he threw to Tyson Chandler!

[RaisingTheBar]

maybe it will be like in the nfl and the last couple exhibition game we will see the starters rest and the backups get more mins, who knows?

[kinglio21093]

I want some Brow.

How quickly they forget.

[Eman5805]

Did Kobe just Shamgod?!?

[Nola Hornet]

They are going to run Chandler into the ground if they don't give Davis some meaningful minutes.

[RaisingTheBar]

come on coach K give the brow some mins this half.

[crenshaw]

Watching harden suck, I wish they just picked EJ .... Damn Nike mafia kept him out.

[Eman5805]

Varejo is 'bout to get laid out. Tyson'll fight you.

[RaisingTheBar]

that is one thing i liked about him, he wasnt afraid of anyone and would stick up for every one of his teammates.

[Eman5805]

Gonna be actually disappointed if Davis doesn't start the 4th like last game.

[nikkoewan]

BRING THE BROW IN

[Pelicans78]

This game may be too close to bring in Davis. Not sure why, but it seems like it. Nene, Splitter, and Varejao are very good players. Wanna see Davis against them.
