Strange for me, too. I thought the same until I saw the schedule was only four days for round two (two per group).

I'm betting on Serbia. US has no answer for Jokic.

He's kind of shut out of the offense. It's been mostly Kemba and Tatum when the starters are in. Even when open (when playing with the starters), Donovan doesn't get passed the ball much. Donovan needs the ball to be successful. He's not a corner-3 guy. I agree the zone defense has been...

Actually - and please correct me if I'm wrong - it's kind of a modified group stage. Results from Stage 1 carry over and there are only 2 games for each team. Each team faces the teams they didn't play in the first group stage. E1 (likely USA) plays F2 (likely Greece) on Sept 7th and then E1...

I was expecting you to say he turned around awkwardly and tore his ACL.

Or maybe he's counting on Donovan returning to Utah and immediately requesting a trade to SA because he can see Pops is a far superior coach to Quin. :rolleyes: Seriously, if a 22 yr old can't handle national team play, I'd have serious doubts about said player. Donovan admits he's a gym rat...

Can't believe Plumlee was one of the best 12 the US could find. He took a 2 ft shoot that went 1 ft. How is he still in the NBA?

After a slow start, Donovan ended up as the leading US scorer. I also thought he played pretty good, active defense. France barely survives after leading by >20.

Spida (with his spidy senses detecting trouble) , Troll, Goblin

Pretty good game between Canada and Australia. Canada had the lead after 3 and then Dellavedova and Ingles took over. Joe had a great all-around game 13-10-5-3-1 (except I thought he had 2 blocks instead of just one that the box score shows). Some great passing by Joe. Off a bit on his shooting...

May not even make it that far. Should be able to win our Group in Round 1. After that it gets tough. I ordered the red shoes. Why can't I wear them with white socks?

Carlos Arroyo - thought he'd be very good, but he loved watching himself dribble too much. Just PASS THE DAMN BALL! George Hill - thought he'd be around for a few years. He really owes Quin half of that big deal he signed when he left. Ty Corbin - was supposed to be Sloan lite, maybe more like...

SPAM post.

Friends with Gurley? Guess this proves Donovan is going to demand a trade to LA. Only question is whether he wants to join the Lakers or Clippers. Does oneye have any idea? He can read Donovan's mind and knows his intentions.

The Crying Game - a coach consoles his pet player as they watch his former team win a championship.

5. Serbia will own the U.S. inside. Jokic can score as many points as he wants. Who's going to stop him, Plumlee? Lopez? US can win if they stop playing hero ball, and hit on their 3's.

Don't even know if he'll make the team. IINM, don't both he and Kidd have partial guarantees with only one roster spot left.

Jazz don't really have that option if the player doesn't want to go. Bolomboy got a shot with the Jazz and then with the Bucks. Had he shown enough promise, Jazz would have kept him. The draft and stash worked with Neto and they did it with NWG. Perhaps they tried it with their picks this year...

Yes, they did. I saw very little teamwork from the U.S.

Boom (ers) Bitches! Australia showing the selfish USA team how to play. They had double the assists.
