By diehard Go To PostWhen Melo is your killer instinct guy …Hasn't he consistently been for Team USA?
By Tea Go To PostHasn't he consistently been for Team USA?yes, and it says a lot.
By diehard Go To Postyes, and it says a lot.That he's a beast under Fiba rules?
By Gabyskra Go To PostThat he's a beast under Fiba rules?
Rules don't change ones "killer instinct"
team is full of betas
By diehard Go To PostRules don't change ones "killer instinct"Of course it does. Play pickup and play a league. Swag levels fluctuate.
How can you argue rule changes don't affect play when they (NBA) have specifically made some to gut centers?
By rodeoclown Go To PostNo idea. Derozan's game is a terrible fit for international ball.
If this bad team limps to a gold, it's a sad commentary on the state of basketball. This isn't a good squad.
It's really not a good team, but this is who came in spite of zika fears.
Any 3 man combination of Lebron, Towns, Harden, Curry, Westbrook, and CP3 on this team would be cakewalking to gold.
By Dark PhaZe Go To PostFuck out of here the team is talented as shit. Nobody to blame but coaching.You can still blame the players. The team is taking possessions off on defense when they are playing like 15 minutes.
I've never thought it was about talent but which talent.
DMC is a fantastic player but he should not be on this team. Derozan is good, he should not be on this team. Hell even Kyrie probably shouldn't be.
By vire Go To PostSo hyped for our fifteen win season. It's gonna be lit25 wins. Justise needs to know true despair.
By P-SY Go To Post25 wins. Justise needs to know true despair.he feels that every time teams dare him to shoot
Cousins is fine for international play. Shoots, passes, rebounds. He's having issues with FIBA refs.
Team defensive cohesion is off, and the lineups should likely change. I think Jordan is better with Kyrie and Durant, because they take defensive plays off and he can recover. Cousins is better with Butler, George and Lowry because he can be a cog around those guys.
There isn't on court chemistry yet. Lebron, Paul and Melo hang out together, play together, etc. For years. They keep saying Durant and Melo are the leaders of this squad, but KD has vanished at times and all these guys are new to Melo.

By etiolation Go To PostHe's having issues with FIBA refs.you don't say....
The entire team is having issues with it. Rotations are dirt. Against Serbia, they didn't even ice. Just left their center try to guard the other team's point guard.
DMC don't belong on this team. He clogs up space and is terrible on defense. Need someone with the the skillset of Drummond and Kat.
By Kuma Go To PostDMC don't belong on this team. He clogs up space and is terrible on defense. Need someone with the the skillset of Drummond and Kat.This is literally where DMC bully ball can exist at its best...
By giririsss Go To PostThis is literally where DMC bully ball can exist at its best…It's literally where poor pick and roll defense can exist at its worst.
By Moris Go To PostHas Draymond got any burn at C?I think so. Defense has been bad when he plays there, too.
In general, guards are putting the bigs into bad situations, K loves single big lineups, and none of the players sliding down to the four are playing good weak side defense so there is rarely much resistance past the first line of defence.
By diehard Go To PostIt's literally where poor pick and roll defense can exist at its worst.The guards have been so bad at slowing down the ball handler that Cousins and every other big has to guard two players at once. They are also unable to rely on help because there is almost always a small ball four alongside them who also aren't doing their jobs properly.
By Kibner Go To PostThe guards have been so bad at slowing down the ball handler that Cousins and every other big has to guard two players at once.

Durant has been bad too, im not putting it on Cousins (really he hasnt even played enough to make a huge impact).

By blackace Go To PostEvery year Harden adds little touches to his douchebag look…I found it hilarious that he said it was only a flop if he was fined.
By giririsss Go To PostI found it hilarious that he said it was only a flop if he was fined.It's not a crime if you don't get caught.
By Moris Go To PostWhat the fuck
I was hoping to come here and find a rational explanation for this :/

Nick Young has found the high road and the humor in his controversy-filled spring and romance-less summer.
Five months after Los Angeles Lakers teammate D'Angelo Russell posted a video of him talking about picking up girls – and two months after his public breakup with pop star fiancé Iggy Azalea – Young said he and Russell will "be able to work it out."
"We're teammates," Young told the Los Angeles Daily News on Sunday night. "It's been so long, so it's kind of old."
Young had declined to discuss the issue with media, saying he didn't want to get into his personal life.
"We've already been working it out," Young said of Russell. "It is what it is. I can't be mad forever."
