RJ deserves to be on the team, he proved it yesterday but USAB still lost.. Lithuania got lucky. Im real proud of him too, he will/can lead the Nets and be the face of the franchise now only if Kidd gets better quick.
Well I guess, he is very exceptional in the team... He is very consistent... But he needs to be more involved in the plays...
Its looks like every team in the Olympics can shoot the 3pt marginally well. And after that one loss in the fiba league or what every it is called. Every team is shooting the 3 point shot on us. Its like they know the weakness and they are exploiting it very well. Also I am tired of how everybody on all these sports shows and radio shows are trying to compare the this team to the 1992 dream team. They are not that team and the talent foreign wise is so much better now then it was back then. Plus that dream team knew how to play defense. There is one comparison and thats that the 1992 dream team and this national team both are almost in the same scoring range of each other.,
he did good but LBs strategy of switching from defense (which was working for 3/4s of the game) to offense in the fourth qtr cost us the game. Richard Jefferson was great but our defense wasn't there in the 4th. Atleast RJ proved that he can land 3pters and has a role in this team
I liked his play against Lithuania (except for the 2 - 3 fouls called on the baseline late in the 4th) and he showed again why he is a respected individual in the NBA.
Maybe this thread should be called "finally he hit threes and did a good job"...He continued to loft up threes in other games when they were not going.He cant just have one good influencial game but play like that consistently.
