    Not to mention, half the players are named Konstantinos!

    The group stage has begun, Greece vs. Senegal on right now!

    All FIBA World Cup games will be on ESPN/ESPN3

    Papa already with a nice move, Gorgui Dieng is controlling the paint

    Haha yeah.. I doubt Papa sees much more time. The game is already a blow out and Giannis is playing very well

    Papanikolaou is going to be awesome on the Rockets. He plays smart defense, he actually looks to box out his man when the ball goes up to secure a rebound, he can pass very well, he is great at cutting to the basket and making smart plays, and he can shoot the 3. He's just a smart player.

    He will be that all-around guy that can do a bit of everything, and helps the team even if he isn't scoring points.

    I think he's more Shane Battier, although with less of a cerebral approach, but more physicality.

    A more tangible Battier would be spot on what this team needs.
    Plus we got Ariza for a good price.

    The only thing more tangible about Kostas is his body odor.

    I thought you believed in intangibles.

    ^ Funny how Papa got the "best shot" award and only made two shots yesterday. That's high efficiency!

    ---------------

    Just a reminder that both DMo and Papa will be playing at 1PM CT today. Cisco already led the DR to victory over NZD with 29pts 6rbs and 5/7 3PM
