Durant just took it right at the rim and created his own offense. As I said, somebody needs to tell Billups to get the ball to Durant.
Why is Odom on team USA? Strange. The guy checks out of NBA games all the time, and he's getting paid. I'm surprised he even gives two shits for USA hoops. Haha. You lose greasy spaniards. Rudy swatted for the loss.
I don't think they'll cry too much. This was a friendly. I think they'll be surprised they were this close. Didn't the US beat them by 30 the first time they met them in the Olympics? Considering the athleticism (not to mention salary) disparity between the two teams, credit much better teamwork for Spain for nearly winning.
If Rudy keeps playing like this, Cho will be lucky to get some used practice jerseys for him. If a 1st round pick is still available, make the fucking trade.
I've always like Garbajosa. Since his injury and the Toronto buyout he's moved over to PF. I think he'd be a great backup PF. And he didn't get totally torched guarding Durant.
I tuned in late. Did Claver get any minutes? And did they say what happened to Calderon? Notice that Spain made their run the minute Rubio and Rudy replaced Calderon and Llull.
What are you talking about? If it's a crazy floater, he does that all the time. How can you hate his game? He should be the hero of every short, slow, unathletic white guy in the world!
I think this game was the pure definition of Rudy. Spain down by double-digits in the 4th quarter. Rudy gets a fire under his butt and is stealing the ball and getting Spain back into the game (just like he helped the Blazers come back from all of those deficits back in 08/09). Then when the ball is in his hands with a chance to win, he can't create his own shot - even while being defended by a guy whose poor defense allows just about anyone create their own shot - and Rudy can't take advantage and shoots the ball right into the defenders hands. LOL.
