I feel like outside of his amazing shot blocking ability, Davis is a pretty bad defender.  He gets overpowered 1v1 and he seems to get lost a lot when his man doesn't have the ball

Davis isn't a bad defender, come on. He's just not playing smart by holding/grabbing and these refs don't play that game. Davis has improved his bulk/strength so he'll be a great defender this season

Bad defender

He's a great shot blocker, mediocre defender otherwise

I'm loving the passion!

getting chippy and the trash talk is starting, i love it

He's going to make All-Defensive.. probably compete for DPOY too. So...

This is the kind of Team USA ball I wanted to see

 

[don ramon]

Kristic. That's a name I haven't heard in a while.

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Kristic looks... dilapidated

Irving ready...

That's because the national media is on the AD hype train and his shot blocking numbers will be awesome.

Don't get me wrong, i love AD and i think he is gonna be best PF in the league for years to come, but he has a LONG way to go on Defense

 

[don ramon]

irving doing this all on his own huh

 

[nelson999]

Irving 

Cousins

Why is Bumlee playing in the Gold Medal game?

He's not a bad defender though, which is what I'm addressing. He has improvements to make defensively but he aint a bad defender

You don't get on the All-Defensive team by being a mediocre defender

 

[aepps20]

Best start of the tournament

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Best start of the tournament

They got fired up by all them foul calls

 

[pums]

International commentator said wow Plumlee in the 1st quarter this might be the 1st time he played in an opening quarter he usually just closes the game

 

[noblekane]

Good, lose  your cool Team USA. 

Well well well

Poor serbs. They was all hyped after the 5 point lead

 

[sneakcity]

Irving, Curry, Thompson-- I don't know how teams have left them go off in this tournament. They're not athletic at all, can't be that difficult to lock them up.
