    That New Zealand team is a fraud. They call themselves the "Tall Blacks," but most of their guys are neither very tall nor very black.

    That guy is such an idiot. Has he seen how bad KThompson would look trying to run the team? When James is out there he is usually the primary ball handler, even with PGs like Irving/Rose/Curry out there.

    I don't think there's ever been a player on whom that the perception of various coaches and the media narrative are so diametrically opposed.

    Although Fran Fraschilla always praises Harden, i should have used Fiba commentary. Their reactions after dunks,blocks etc are awesome.

    I've only watched 1 game. Is Derrick Rose playing as terrible as his 22% shooting indicates?

    Oh hey I saw that quote and I knew it would be known Rockets hater Andrew Sharp. Yeah I'm sure letting a 3&D guy run the offense would go great. Lol that would be so terrible, forget Spain I don't think we could take France or Lithuania. Irving and Rose have been miserable running the offense, James has been the best and also enables Curry to play off the ball like he did with Jack two years ago.
