Re: Team USA 2012
They made exactly the correct decisions IMO. Harden or Gordon was a tossup, but they needed Iggy and Griffin.
They have no excuses not to come home with gold...
There is so much firepower on this team it doesn't matter if they didn't have one center on their roster. Any of the PF's can play C and most of their SF's can play PF. Not to mention none of the international teams are really that scary. Spain I think will miss Rubio a ton...
Can't wait to watch all of the training camp and the exhibitions
Kevin Love was told that he, Tyson Chandler and Blake Griffin will play almost full-time center. That should be interesting.Comment

Re: Team USA 2012
So Blake Griffin should top this, right?

Re: Team USA 2012
This team on paper is 100x better than '08. Hopefully they all bring it together.

Re: Team USA 2012
I see one flop from either Blake and/or CP3 and I defect to Spain, Sgt. Slaughter style.
This team on paper is 100x better than '08.
That being said, I still give this team about a 75% chance to win the Gold(compared to the 98% I gave them before Duhwight and Bosh went down)though with Spain being the only threat. Wouldn't be surprised to see Argentina, despite their age, give us a little scare or play us tougher than we expected but everyone else except Spain, I expect to beat by 30 or more.#RespectTheCultureComment

Re: Cousins
Carmelo Anthony came out of the first day of Team USA practice in Vegas — where DeMarcus Cousins is a member of the USA Select team there to push the London-bound squad — and said this about the Kings big man of the future (via Sean Cunningham on twitter).
“He fouled the s— outta everyone.”
That didn’t impress USA Basketball president Jerry Colangelo, who was blunt about it during a conference call on Saturday night after announcing the Team USA final roster.
“Show respect to players, and you get respect back,” Colangelo said. “He needs to mature as a person, as a player if he’s going to have an outstanding NBA career. So before there’s discussion about him being part of our program, he has a lot of building to do…
“He has a lot of growing up to do.”
Cousins had run ins with former Kings coach Paul Westphal but his relationship with Keith Smart appears to be better. Smart has his ear. This is different. USA Basketball is the big boys and with them Cousins will be in for tough love.
Cousins also said during the season that if put on the Select Team he thought he would make the London squad. He’s not as close as he thinks. Coach Mike Krzyzewski is big on chemistry with this team. He and Colangelo want guys who are positive, who get along, who will represent the USA well on and off the court.
Coach K was more diplomatic in suggesting that Cousins can be that guy down the line and being on the Select Team can help him get there.
“His time here, playing in this culture and against these guys, sometimes can have a positive change for the players participating,” Krzyzewski said. “It indoctrinates (younger players), gets them accustomed to playing for their country.”#RespectTheCultureComment
