Not mad at them. It is basically our D team. I kinda hope we dont win gold so i can hear all those losers who skipped/dropped out late talk their nonsense

What do you like about Laughlin that isn’t about your friends. Don’t know why it’s so tough to answer this question.

What's wrong w/ you? How many times do I have to tell you I liked going down there to simply get outta Vegas. This is what the 3rd time I've had to tell you this?

Not being rude or anything but it seems like you have an issue w/ reading comprehension.

What in the name of Steph Curry, Lebron James, Anthony Davis, Kawhi Leonard, Kevin Durant, James Harden, Klay Thompson, Bradley Beal, Damian Lillard, Karl Anthony Townes, Paul George, Russell Westbrook, Demar DeRozan, Lamarcus Aldridge, Kyrie Irving..... is going on with team USA??

I cannot quite put my finger on exactly why the best team in the World is suddenly losing to Australia now.

Really makes no sense. There has to be a reason team USA lost.

I dont care about guys like steph and lebron not being here because they never was planning to play in this. It is the guys like Dame, Harden, DeRozan, and all the other players who decided in june and mid to late July that they wont play. Also give the guys with injuries who going to keep them out at least until training camp a pass

Is Serbia the main opponent.....I know Australia has some players and a decent team also but I thought I heard on here Serbia was the main competition we'll face.

I forget shit on the daily.

 

[DJ]

Meh, it's exhibition.....not the real deal right now.

Serbia, Spain, Greece, Australia, and probably France

Cheaters is freaking hilarious. People can be so stupid.

 

[bksballer89]

This team wouldn't have HCA in the first round.....

Dwight back to the Lakers

Out of several not real good options, he probably has the highest ceiling as far as being able to help.

However, with his history of attitude issues, he is also the one who can create the most problems.

Apparently, it's a non-guaranteed deal, so it'll be easy to move on from if he does start creating problems.

 

[trojanfan12]

Vogel did a pretty good job with Hibbert in Indiana, maybe he can do the same for Howard, I'm hoping.

It's all going to be on Dwight. If his attitude has truly changed (or he can control it for a season), it could be a very good thing.

If not...he gone.

 

[trojanfan12]

I don't like the move. The problem is Dwight isn't any good any more.

He played 9 games last year before he had back surgery. The season before, he played 80 games and averaged 17 points and 13 rebounds in about 30 minutes a game.

If he can do anything close to that this season, it will help a lot.

If not, it's a non-guaranteed contract.

 

[trojanfan12]

EVERY title involves a big helping of luck, not just dynasties. That's why it's a little silly to compare players based on rings and so on.

Oh, I agree. If nothing else, there's the luck of staying healthy.

Dynasties require a big helping of luck over a period of time to keep them going so they can become dynasties.

Pretty simple.

USA threw together a roster of C list players that has little cohesion. They are competing against national teams with talented pros that know how to play together.

American stars only care about the big events and probably should not be expected to play on the national team every summer. It is too much.

I'm trying to understand why you all are so surprised I don't like Laughlin when you haven't presented any attractive qualities of the town at all. Instead you just stated that you enjoyed hanging out with friends there, which doesn't explain what Laughlin has to offer to someone visiting there.

I think it's funny you called Laughlin a "shithole" when it was 20 years ago & all you did was pass through it. What a goofy thing to say.

During the right time of the year (not summer) the riverwalk by the casinos is a nice place to relax & hangout. It's not as hectic & crowded as Vegas either.

It was also hilarious when you said yesterday I spent every weekend down there for 5 years when I went there about once a year.

I'm not saying change doesn't come from within but the right support system can help keep Dwight moving in the right direction with a positive attitude. You do know that people can have an influence on how a person acts, don't you? Or are support groups and therapists a big waste of time for everyone?
