Not really, but he seems like the only dude that consistently wants to shoot the ball when he gets it.
Also, Chauncey Billups has been playing like absolute TRASH. Dude must be crying himself asleep nowadays with his phone in his hand waiting for Melo to call him back.

i think westbrook made the team now...IMO its between rondo and rose who get's cut...

i'd take rondo over rose right now because rose doesnt seem to be able to do much when he's not getting an iso....rondo isnt a shooter but he's a better passer and defender and he'll score 1 or 2 baskets per game w/o forcing a tough shot.

Stop *****ing about the jersey issue. Nike wants nothing to do with the jersey/apparel contract. There is no money in it.

Got a problem?

I know it should be Durant, but its obvious that he's a streaky shooter. Its just Rudy been the most consistent scorer thus far when he gets opportunities to score, can get his shot over anybody and strong enough to take the contact. When Durant gets back on, he'll be that guy. They need him come tournament time. 

Don't get me wrong, the team isn't going to go anywhere if Durant doesn't step up as the number 1. The 2008 team had several guys to fill that role, but everybody has given it to him and he hasn't figured it out yet.

This team is just built terribly anyway. Granger really doesn't have no need on the team. Basically 5 PG's (about 3 who can't shoot a lick) and no post game. 

you have a point. offensively gay can check kd

I'm just watching the game right now...damn that court must be slippery as hell.

That breakaway that Rudy missed, he lost his footing when he planted. A Lithuanian player also lost his footing on a breakaway

Awful offense by the US early on, BUT, a lot of those shots were halfway in and just rimmed out. I thought they played D quite well, however, halfcourt execution on offense needs a lot of work.

Well considering that he's been playing absolutely subpar the entire summer/camp as opposed to the other two (one of which has garnered great praise from K) the other who has played much better than Russ, now he has a decent game and he should get catapulted over the other two yea... sure

If I'm Coach K, I keep Westbrook, Gordon, and Curry and give Granger a plane ticket home to Indiana.
