    FIBA Ayon is giving FIBA Scola a run for his money haha

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

    Harden and Ayon with 12 to lead all scorers. Our boy having a very nice all-around game

    The point about the fast break is very true and it's nothing to get defensive about.

    I never said it wasn't true. I just believe that it does a disservice to deliver a one-liner like that without any further analysis or qualifiers. This is especially egregious coming from a fantastic basketball mind like Zach Lowe

    Yep one day I think someone is gonna come in and knock harden out cold when he tries to draw a foul. Its kinda sad that people consider throwing your body into a defender a skill

    Davis is a PF and shouldn't be guarding Cs in the post.

    I don't put Davis in the top 5 yet but nobody is a fool for thinking it may happen this coming season.

    Curry is having his best game yet. He was a big disappointment to me before.

    It wasn't. Nobody saw the man Harden was guarding.

    26 point lead is not that bad. U.S should be winning by 50. Congrats Mexico, did better than most countries in this group.

    Yeah Mexico will not quit. The U.S. lets up Mexico comes back. Ayon is a good player. Hats off to them. Love how they seem to be just enjoying playing the game. Their poise is admirable.

    It'll be this way for the rest of Harden's career.

    Kyrie was supposed to rotate to help off the weak side. Harden couldn't help one pass away without giving his man an open 3 and Faried's initial goof on the roll left him out of the play. Atleast that's what I was taught in my time of playing BBall haha

    Either way that wasn't hardens fault, eventually these media hacks will be exposed because that was just plain ignorent of him to even mention hardens name in that clip. I promise you he didn't post that because of the pass. It's because he can et a lot more hits off saying hardens name and bad defense.

    Well its Harden's fault for his bad reputation on defense. Its his fault for people saying its his fault.
