this team is weird and therefore I think will be fun to watch
what other teams are even good anymore? Spain seems super old at this point. France and Brasil might be good, Lithuania?

Uh oh Dray could cause an international incident
― skateboard of education (rip van wanko), Monday, 27 June 2016 18:27 (four years ago) link
this team def the first one thats vulnerable to loss since the last time they loss, dont know if any of the other teams are good tho
― lag∞n, Monday, 27 June 2016 18:35 (four years ago) link
really want kd to back out then wed be onto something
― lag∞n, Monday, 27 June 2016 18:37 (four years ago) link
australia maybe? idk
if the last FIBA cup squads were any indication, the one that got furthest before ultimately being defeated by USA was...lithuania? spain generally good but they'll be down a major gasol

def, always balls out w international ball too

tough call between DJ and Boogie
― moistest hoist (Spottie), Monday, 27 June 2016 19:16 (four years ago) link
ya thats the one i was puzzling over
― lag∞n, Monday, 27 June 2016 19:17 (four years ago) link
could also see them starting Melo over PG
― moistest hoist (Spottie), Monday, 27 June 2016 19:17 (four years ago) link
u cld conceivably go w D at the 1 with lowery too but idk
― lag∞n, Monday, 27 June 2016 19:18 (four years ago) link
i think if melo starts then DJ starts. if PG starts then boogie starts
― moistest hoist (Spottie), Monday, 27 June 2016 19:18 (four years ago) link
rather have pg being a jack of all trades low usage guy than melo out there hoisting imo
― lag∞n, Monday, 27 June 2016 19:19 (four years ago) link
Dunno if he'll start but melo always tears it up in international ball
― gis for westbrook shark jump (agent hibachi), Monday, 27 June 2016 19:21 (four years ago) link
Melo is our all-time hoister in international competition, he's gonna be the splash older cousin this time
― gis for westbrook shark jump (agent hibachi), Monday, 27 June 2016 19:22 (four years ago) link
This roster just seems weird overall though so many swing guys who could all conceivably play the 3, guess they'll spread out from 2 to 4
― gis for westbrook shark jump (agent hibachi), Monday, 27 June 2016 19:23 (four years ago) link
yeah i think it's time for him to take a lesser role but he def loves international ball and may get the nod cos of experience
― moistest hoist (Spottie), Monday, 27 June 2016 19:24 (four years ago) link
yeah there isnt a trad PF on that roster xp
I want to see Boogie and Green play together :)

i am excited for this roster tbh

also no white dudes on the team
― marcos, Monday, 27 June 2016 19:40 (four years ago) link
no truly good NBA wites this year, least not american wites
this does remind me that mason plumdawg made the 2014 fiba team and gordon hayward didn't and it brought great consternation to a handful of jazz beat writers on twitter
