Team USA Showcase

I just caught the highlights of the Blue vs White game... did anyone actually watch the game? What type of defense was being played (if any)? It certainly could not have been playoff level... so was it regular season, preseason, or all-star game level?

 

i only saw the 4th quarter and parsons didn't play much, did he have some nice highlights early? and did he start?

 

Played very subpar.

His only highlight was having a lob stolen in midair by Anthony Davis who proceeded to take it all the way down the court for a slam dunk,

Not making the 2014 roster, at any rate.

 

Irving is the real deal.

 

The D wasn't very good but it was better than all-star level. The announcers (Calabro and Zeke) kept making fun of how seriously Thibs was taking things.

Kyrie Irving was on a different level than everyone else. Anthony Davis will have a breakout year if he stays healthy. Harrison Barnes looked great. Andre Drummond may end up being a monster. His stats don't reflect much, but to me, Paul George looked large and in charge.

DeMar DeRozan and Dion Waiters looked like they had no business being out there.

 

He also had an airball and was booed. His shot was as flat as Greg Smith's free throws.

 

he was very over matched out there it was sad to see. All these twitter vacation picks and award show participation's, he needs to step his game up because he looked like he didn't belong on the team smh

 

I'm a little surprised at all these comments on Parsons. I wasn't able to watch the game but, I hope he picks it up. He shouldn't be scrubbing it out there with his talent level.

 

It wouldn't shock me if some of those coaches love Parsons well rounded game, he may stick as a glue guy.

 

Yea, but Granger is a better version of Parsons, he'd be the glue guy before Chandler.

 

Only reason people think Chandler has any shot because they have their Houston Rockets glasses on.

Based off that game he has no shot at making the team. Anything I can happen I guess.

 

He's good for a shoot first point guard, but name one ball dominant, shoot first point guard, that made it anywhere. BTW, Iverson played SG the year he went to the finals.

 

Or maybes its just because they actually watched him play the last two seasons including a play-off series and noticed he was damn good.

 

do u know this guy who went to the finals last year and already won 3 championships... i think his name is Tony Parker.

 

He is good still doesn't change the fact that he did nothing to catch anyone's attention during that game which I think is probably important.

Didn't read the reports from practice so not sure he performed in that. There are plenty of SF's that are damn good soooo

 

he also had one alley oop dunk, but yea he looked lost out there

 

Thanks for the response, that's disappointing to hear. Hopefully he was just having an off day.

 

Granger is 30, has been injured & has a lot to prove going forward.

 

Merely an exhibition game my friend & Parsons is primed for a big year with two stars on the roster.
