/shows stats graphic that doesn't include assists

HIYOO

Well Lithuania is in that Argentina mode now where we let them hang around and they starting nailing bad shots. Like playing Golden State.

At this rate, Davis will get minutes thank to foul trouble.

[50_Hornet]

FFS PUT DAVIS IN AND GET THEM OUT THE PAINT YOU IDIOT!

[Ivan Balakhonov]

Deron is drowning his team now...

[Pelicans78]

1992 Croatian and Lithuanian teams were as good as any of the other teams in this tournament.

The 92 Lithuanian team was much better than the current team and the Dream Team stomped them.

I don't understand why Iggy isn't getting playing time.

[Eman5805]

Law of averages caught up to us. No way you duplicate last game's performance. Was gonna be a slump in every regard thanks to simple reality.

Now? We gotta play hard all game long. And those are the games Coach K won't let Davis play, it seems.

[FlyGirl]

Missing too many free throws.

[Pelicans78]

Take away an injured Bird and an older Magic, the Dream Team had Ewing, Robinson, Barkley, Malone, Pippen, Mullins, Jordan, and Stockton in their prime. Pippen and Jordan are two of the best defenders in NBA history, the frontcourt would dominate easily, and MJ is MJ.

Good move Westbrook.

We could take a game or two in a seven game series, but no way we win overall. They simply had an actual post game from their bigs. Only big we have that wants to play in the post is Davis and he's rarely even out there.

[Pelicans78]

He looks to me to have lost a fair amount of his former explosiveness. Seems like he used to be able to really get up, and now he's looking a little.....weighty.

And yes to the chucking. I've been saying for a while that he's slowly morphing into Baron Davis.

He's definitely gained weight since his Utah days and he used to overpower CP3 early on, but CP3 is easily better now and has been since 2009.

I may give them one game, but that's it.

Deron has always had a better team as well as better coach. Until he went to the Nets that is. And people confused bigger as being better.

[Snarly]

Yea.. Let's play Love who is terrible on defense.

[Eman5805]

Davis juststood up is he! No. Aw.

[FlyGirl]

That guy just went straight to the rim and laid it in. Davis would've swatted that. What is Coach K doing?

[-jlam-]

Good god, the lack of interior presence is mystifying. Offensively and defensively.

I'm not even saying to play Davis, but at least Chandler. ****.

[50_Hornet]

Lol Im going to go back in this thread and find out who said I was crazy for saying Davis should play in real games real quick and give you a big I TOLD YOU SO.

[Pelicans78]

These guys stink defensively today.

[FlyGirl]

Have the Hornets shot all of their 3's against Nigeria? What are they on 3's today?

[Eman5805]

Did Iggy wiz in Coach K's cereal?

Need defense and one of our best perimeter defenders is watching from the sideline.

[ohnosono]

Did Iggy wiz in Coach K's cereal?

Apparently Davis did.
