    Anything less than gold is a disappointment.


    A major one I might add.

    By no means do I want to talk trade talk but why are Howard and Bynum not on the USA team ? Did they not want to do it ?

    heh (not that I agree, but still chuckled)
    "@SherwoodStrauss
    Durant & Harden are already friends, but now they can relate on being 6th men for no logical reason"

    I think the WNBA players could pose a better threat than DR.

    If KD comes off the bench and is set up by teammates like tonight, I say go ahead and let Melo start and then sit him or Chandler when KD comes in. When opponents go zone and sell out to clogging the paint, KD can make a killing either setting up on the 3-point or coming off pin-down screens. He is tailor-made for the Olympics.

    That is how he was defending at Worlds - didn't translate to the NBA except for occasional spurts (suffocated Terry round 1 this year though).
