    Rose was terrible in this game against Turkey. Kenneth Faried gets the game ball, he was a beast.

    Rose was awful... 0/4 on FG 2/4 on FT, 2 rebounds, no assists and 2 turnovers... Almost worthy of a Hibbert playoff stat line.

    Victor just jumped over an Egyptian to flush a one-handed alley-oop from Rubio...

    They've won by an average of 40+ over their first two games. Don't think they care, Rice.

    True they won't care.....unless they lose. My concern with Steph is that when he plays for the Warriors he gets time to shoot his way into a rhythm, from anywhere past half court. No such luxury with this team.

    Rose needs to step it up.

    Much tougher games coming up.

    I'm a Wolves fan (now my second-fave team) because I'm a Dieng fan!

    Wolves should be fun. Wouldn't that be a perfect team for George Karl? I wonder if they'll try to offload Pekovic.

    Trivia: which country is leading the tournament in blocks per game?

    After 3 games......

    Rose Stats completely suck:
    22.2 FG%, 14.3 3FG% in 6.0 shots/game.

    He's hit a grand total of 4 shots in 18 attempts - probably 3 of those were layups.

    It's funny (to me) how many people are unfamiliar with the Haka. ALL NZ teams in ALL sports do it before EVERY game. You would have to have your head completely up your arse not to have seen it before. Especially as the NZ Rugby team is to Rugby Union what the US is to Basketball.

    Look: here's the Arizona football team doing it!
