    Claver's job? Guarding LeBron.

    Claver is not having fun.

    I believe there are some people who think that Kevin Love is better than Pau Gasol.

    Silly people.

    I'd say at this point in their careers. 90% of people feel that way.

    Anthony Davis, Deron Williams, Russell Westbrook, James Harden, Chris Paul, and LeBron James all caught on camera sleeping on the plane to London.

    Coach K's not even really playing him...

    I actually agree with the Gasol sentiment, but I feel like Love could be much better utilized by Team USA. Coach K keeps making questionable roster decisions.

    I always imagined they'd have better accommodations.

    Funny that Love has been arguably the best player for USA in the Olympics so far. Those token white guys.

    Yes. Claver got minutes when the game was already decided. Had a nice block.

    I'm embarrassed by the performance of the Australian team.

    Jingles had a good game, everyone else was pretty awful.

    Isn't it Ingles? I saw him play in summer league a few years ago. From what I've seen I'd prefer him to Claver.

    His name is Joe Ingles, so his nickname is Jingles. Played for Golden State in summer league. Now plays for Barcelona.
