Very rookie mistake by Howard there.

Oh he looks like he can be a player, but this star power might be a bit much for him. I would be stunned if he lit it up. They're out to rattle him and he's still young. I like what I'm seeing so far on both sides of the court for USA.

Marc Gasol is actually uglier than hsi brother. Quite an accomplishment.

He always looks angry...
LeBron carried the first half of the quarter and Wade took over after that. Just keep the careless turnovers to a minimum and stay aggressive and we can take that #1 seed.

Rubio looks like he is going to be a solid player in the NBA...he has very quick hands.
and I am liking what Prince is doing out there. He should get more PT.

You have to love the effort Lebron has been giving in defending the rim. Very fun to watch.

These refs are not letting the players play...a lot of ticky tack fouls called

I first hated Lebron because he was all athleticism...but he is becoming one of my favorite players in the NBA...starting to dominate on the defensive end of the court

LeBron is my 2nd favorite player in the league, hands down. I love what he does and I really like the defense he has brought to the Olympic team.
The refs...yuck Rubio will be a top 5 pick next year in the draft, that should be interesting. Miami has to hope and pray that Wade can hold up for the entire season, if he can then they'll be right in the thick of the top 4 seeds in the East.

SWEET defensive play by Kidd just now. Took a guard out while blocking him on the way to the hoop.

That's a cool story and Redd and his interview with Colangelo to play for Team USA.

Just got done with the game (delayed on the DVR)
That was an ass whooping. Why were the refs calling ticky tack crap in the first half, and letting major contact go? What inconsistent officiating that was. That Kidd play was priceless. You could see it developing and I was thinking before he even had the ball "There's no way he's getting out of it now!"

Yeah, the fouls were getting out of hand...we do have the depth to cover up for that. I liked what Prince brought in the middle part of the game. He helped fill the void b/c of fouls. The 3-ball actually worked better for us today as well. I don't really have any major problems with the big players for USA today.
Good win!
