PAN AM Games BBall

Did DV even play tonight? I watched most of the 2nd half, and he was in warmups the whole time while USA was getting throttled. I thought he had a pretty good game the other night, any reason why he didn't see the floor?

I don't think the internet even cares about these "games"

He played a little in the 2nd quarter

Why didn't he see the floor? Is there something wrong with his vision? OMG, will he be able to play next year?

I know, right?

I have watched these games. He is at the end of the bench. I think the main reason he scored so much the 2nd game was because they were up 30 points.
But it is half college guys half pros. Not NBA but guys that played at one time and/or are stars overseas. Pretty impressive to make that team really. Melo Trimble might be the biggest young star on the team and he comes off the bench for Bobby Brown who scored like 30 points a game in China.
...It always amazes me how good these international players are these days. Maybe USA has like their 400th range best players and Brazil has their 20th best. I don't think USA could beat them without putting Lebron out there.

Just saw USA's last gold was 1983.

One thing that got me hooked right away was in the first game a coach got a T for stepping on the floor (automatic) and then a USA player got a T for flopping (doing the head jerk thing while dribbling). They have few timeouts, a 24 second clock, allow tons of contact and yet the game hardly ever stops.
If US college players learned to play better team basketball with bigs that could shoot from the outside - a lot of these problems with the "state of the game" would be moot

Denzel hit 3 straight 3s, gave US the lead. Got the call in OT and threw up an airball. Jamal Murray going to UK - forget about it
