    Every time I watch Thompson play I wonder why he is so valued around the league.

    Couldn't agree more about Fraschilla. If he weren't bad enough, every time I hear that horn someone is blowing I expect House of Pain's Jump Around to kick in.

    That's a funny vine because everyone will focus on Harden's defense, but no one will realize that whole sequence started because of Irving's poor defense which is shown in the same vine. Perspective.

    Harden has become a media target. Anytime he says or does something which has a bad angle to it, social media will explode with criticism. But will ignore it if Harden gets praised or does something.

    Harden just caused a steal. And a great pass too. You'll hear nothing about that on twitter.

    Good steal by Harden, slight redemption.

    Rose hasn't played since the first half. Coach K knows whats up.

    25 turnovers for Turkey in a 40 minute game with 7 minutes left. Wow.

    Anthony Davis is a special player. Looks like a young David Robinson when runs the floor.

    Davis and Harden are the most valuable players on the team. Faried is third.

    Harden was playing good D all game except for that one bad open 3 play, everyone makes a big deal.

    Curry getting smoked from the perimeter, nobody says anything

    Curry has 5 steals so steals do not mean anything

    Is that 4 straight assist by Harden? For all the point guards USA has, harden is probably the best playmaker.

    Harden absolutely carving up turkey's defense over and over.

    Without Faried, USA losses this game. If you take out Davis I think someone else could dunk those lobs. Harden was actually the calming influence on the court. Harden was more PG than any of the PGs on the floor. the PGs on team USA don't like to pass or control tempo for some reason.
