    Perhaps he is overrated on defense as well, makes his non-existent scoring ability even worse.

    He wasn't "very good" before ACL. He couldn't shoot then and he can't shoot now.

    rubio was never that good. he was very much overhyped from the beginning. his impact on winning has always been minimal because of the lack of development from him as a player. A flashy assist every once and awhile in a game doesn't make you very good.

    It does, he's a top tier defender. The eye test and analytics show it.

    But when he doesnt have the D and steals going, he's almost useless because his passing wont make up for lack of SHOOTING AND D.

    Impressed with Argentina so far. Can't wait for them to play against their South American rivals, Brazil, on this weekend. Its going to be a epic atmosphere. The fanbases for both nations will bring the noise like the Copa America.

    Andrew Bogut plays like a man possessed when he plays for the Boomers.

    Australia gets hurt by the big step down to the bench. Would have been nice to see this team with Simmons, Exum and Maker too.

    Man Bogut is playing very well. I hate that Dallas has him if he is playing this well.. Luckily Barnes still sucks.

    Come on now. Just glad we're making it a good game right now. Hoping we can keep it close into the last qtr where I suspect the US will put the foot down.

    The only person I like on the USA team is Kyle Lowry. If they end up losing I might not even be mad... They can still win the gold with a loss, but the ridicule Draymond, Durant, and Klay would receive would be sweet ambrosia. I'm a hater.. Please don't tell the State Department...

    Australia making USA look like Trash!

    Wow... Why couldn't Anderson cut it for Houston? He's playing like a top stretch 4/5 of the NBA now.
