    Certainly not equally, but the Aussies could have handled that a bit better.

    I thought I read Simmons wasn't playing.

    Lillard should withdraw from Team USA in order to focus on the Trail Blazers, the franchise that pays the most than any other for him.

    I wonder if CJ will make the squad.

    Amongst available guards, I'd probably put him 5th behind Dame, Beal, Kemba, and Mitchell, and ahead of Gordon and Lowry.

    I'd assume they'd go with 2 centers, whom I'd guess to be Drummond and Turner, although I could see them going with Brook for the outside shooting.

    Forwards, I'd rank Harris, Middleton, Love, Millsap, Tatum, Kuzma, Tucker, Barnes.

    I can't see them going with 6 forwards, so I think there's a pretty good chance of both Dame and CJ being on the team together.

    I know this is a bit more physical load on them but I kinda want them to go this year. Usually, I'd be staunchly against it, but both of em have to play at least one tournament in their careers. And it would give me a reason to pay attn to bball in the dog days of summer.

    FIBA is a farce. A silly game on a silly court played by silly rules using a silly ball.

    I'll make sure to avoid eye contact if I run into him.

    Well my guess is two, but only one really deserves it. They will probably have Thanasis just to please Giannis.

    I know there are at least 3 of them, but the youngest is only 17 so might be a few years away from playing on the national team. Reports I have read have said that he has a lot of potential.

    The 17 year old is the 4th. Thanasis and Kostas are not good. The youngest,Alex, they say is very talented.
