    I say Round 1, of course, because we'll see these two go head to head in the Gold Medal Round of the Olympics.

    If there is no double/double from Freeland, he is dead to me

    Technically it's Luol Deng vs. LeBron James. Joel Freeland vs. Anthony Davis?

    Freeland vs LeBron?

    They are both mamalian life forms. They both demonstrate bi-lateral symetry. That's about the limit of what they have in common.

    Deron Williams re: Joel Freeland: "Is he a rookie? He's got to keep his mouth quiet."

    Go Joel!

    I also hope he's talking shit. Yes, he's a rook in the NBA. But he's no rookie otherwise. Besides, I approve of anyone talking shit to D-Will.

    John Schuhmann: With Great Britain exposing his poor defense, I can see why Love only played 5 minutes against Brazil. about 8 minutes ago

    For the Minne fans (not that they're here anymore - since they left with their tails between their legs).

    Watched the first few minutes on my lunch break. Joel scored the first basket on a fast break. He still runs well.

    Love posts up Freeland. Joel completely stuffs him.

    I gotta say, Freeland looks bigger than I expected. Dude is a solid 6'10/250 or so. I got no problem with him at center from a pure size standpoint.

    Wendell Maxey tweeted the following:

    "this is not a great debut for joel freeland of the portland trail blazers...." not exactly a glowing endorsement right now for "free".

    Does he really look that bad?

    I've been watching off and on. They don't seem to run much offense for him. Honestly, England is so bad that the whole focus seems to be to get the ball across half court and hope Deng can create something.

    Freeland has (mostly) been guarding Durant and LeBron in this game, this wont happen in Portland.

    Kevin Love's defense is atrocious.

    And the sky is blue.

    Yeah, Freeland is guarding guys out of position - can't judge based off that. I do agree that physically he's solid for the center spot.
