    It was Anthony Davis disguised as Harden.

    An easy mistake.

    What happened was that after Durant and George got hurt, Harden took it upon himself to be the team leader and primary defensive stopper. He talked about how focused he was going to be defensively, blah blah blah. Well, these commentators who don't do their research and know nothing about basketball heard these comments and ran with them. Anyone who watches our team play knows that Harden is by far our worst defender.

    I was pretty tempted to just spam their twitter feeds or whatever with that youtube video of Harden pretending to be a revolving door on defense

    Also, that's how octopi talk. They squibber. Yes, it's a word. Shut up.

    Spain might be the team to beat this world cup. They have the most talented team in the comp after the US, and have such good chemistry. They gave Brazil (Who is arguably a top 5 team) a decent thumping. And the international game is such that older players aren't as disadvantaged as much (I think possibly because of the lack of a defensive 3 second call)

    Additionally, Pau Gasol has the range to make an international 3 pointer, which could stretch the USA defense making it vulnerable in the middle. All in all an interesting match up, team USA needs to play scrappy, and also play under control, saw too many turnovers last game where players were trying to get too fancy or rushed things. They need that hunger, because if they let up at any point it may come back to bite them on the you know what.

    Great chemistry between AD and harden on those last 2 plays. AD with a sweet Backdoor pass on a designed play.

    FIBA stats lied to me then sneakily corrected their error.

    Davis has FIBA 3pt range why is this surprising? He had a 4pt play during the Olympics. There line is like 2 feet closer than in the NBA.

    AD just dunked the ball over the rim.
    The most overused words on Pelicansreport.com. Wrongly, I might add.

    ELITE - (often used with a plural verb) the choice or best of anything considered collectively, as of a group or class of persons.

    GREAT - notable; remarkable; exceptionally outstanding

    These words should not be used lightly
