It's tonight on ESPN at 8pm.
The Cousins thing makes no sense to me because K was very recently heaping tons of praise Cousin's way on his work ethic and attitude.
Maybe Coach just has a thing for his former Dukies? I dunno.

Yeah not sure about that one

Lol I think we'll throw Drummond or Cousins on Marc, Davis on Pau and have our guards run until their guards vomit. We have the speed advantage. We just have to body up on them in the post and keep from fouling.Originally Posted by Mythrol
I am a big Derrick Rose fan for the same reason I'm a fan of The Brow.
They play at an elite level and they don't talk about it.
They just do it.
This makes me so happy.
I hate Melo.
Who names their child after a candy bar?
They still have tonight's game and maybe some exhibition games before the roster is selected. Cousins is clearly better than Plumlee, but if Plumlee makes the roster over Cousins it wouldn't surprise me because this team doesn't need the center to be a scorer. They just need a high energy guy that can rebound and play defense and run the floor. If Cousins can't be that guy, then he won't make the roster.
Which is funny because Rose plays under the Adidas brandI am a big Derrick Rose fan for the same reason I'm a fan of The Brow.

As far as the Cousins/Plumlee thing, the Olympic team is about fit as much as talent. Remember Cousins has had high profile feuds with Chris Paul, and even though Paul won't be on this squad, it stands to reason that he's bumped heads with a few roster members and maybe Coach K didn't think it was a good idea to risk chemistry issues.
A Jazz fan from another forum provided some insider info (no source, though, so take it how you will): "The Jazz play by play guy David Locke was on the radio today when this rumor started breaking. He said his friend was covering team USA practice and told him he watched Cousins make a low post move, believe he got fouled, flip out and punch a wall all while his team was playing 4 on 5 defensively on the other end. Maybe Coach K doesn't want to waste his time and effort dealing with childish behavior."
Didn't even think about the irony of Rose promoting Adidas. (My brain has not adjusted to the weekend yet)Which is funny because Rose plays under the Adidas brand

I want to like Cousins for his talent but his attitude is so terrible. He always has a scowl on his face. It makes me want him to fail.
Who thinks Brow will outscore Durant tonight?

I saw Cousins pouting when he was pulled for AD in last years scrimmage. Was my last straw with him. Upset that a teammate was out shining him? No good.
For real. He comes off as a giant spoiled brat.

Shame about Cousins. And I totally believe it true. I really wanted to pull for him for one more Shaq type player in the league.
But I guess like Shaq said, he is the last.
Tbh, I'd rather Drummond make the team over plumlee. Watching the Freshman Shophmore game made me really like him. Dude seems to be humble and has a good personality. Plus he would give USA a beast at C if Cousins is crazy. Honestly, I'd rather Miles Plumlee over Mason.
Funny how AD will be getting the majority of his minutes at C in a more physical league but some people here said he's too small for NBA full-time C.
Can this roster win the gold? Major names missing from this roster.

New uniforms.
Lol, What's with this "notables" crap?
Can't wait to watch AD tonight!
"I'm not going to allow my putative owner to answer that question, this is an NBA related press conference. Paul Tagliabue and Roger Goodell have collectively sung their praises of Tom and if uh ESPN has a problem with that tell Mr. Skipper to call me at my office."
The most notable players of the best in the league? How silly is that?
.......if healthy
@Jabberwalker
So is it safe to say that KD, AD, Kyrie, Harden, and Paul George make the team!?!? lol
I want to see Harden play defense.
Man that block on Carmelo is straight butter.
AD looks BIG
AD got the mic for the pregame speech to the crowd
"The pelican is fearsome. Take a raven, for example: it's omnivorous. It eats bugs, and seeds, and fruit, and carrion. Compared to the well-rounded citizen that is the raven, the pelican is the serial killer of birds." - Barry Petchesky, Deadspin
Let's go AD!!!!!!!!!
