    In the REVIEW-JOURNAL, Steve Carp writes that USA Basketball "routed Puerto Rico 116-82 in a practice game Tuesday at the Thomas & Mack Center. Team USA appeared to send a serious message to Puerto Rico, which whipped to the United States 92-73 in preliminary-round play at the 2004 Olympics. Tuesday's game, played in front of about 4,500 Nellis Air Force Base personnel and family members, was a tuneup for Thursday's (ESPN, 11:00 ET) nationally televised exhibition against Puerto Rico at the Thomas & Mack."

    They are gonna kill this year and in the Olympics as well. They have a great mix of players who actually get along. I think they made the right decision in leaving out Iverson, he wouldn't be a good fit.

    Carmelo was the best player on the court apparently. 10 for 13 shooting for 23 points in a blowout is awesome. It doesn't seem so farfetched right now that he could start for this team.

    Maybe Coach K wants his 4 to have more perimeter skills. Like Shawn Marion.

    I guess Bosh, Amare, and Brand will be used more as centers.
