August 1, 201412 yr Daggum Roy @DaggumRoy Heared that Mike's gonna put a Plumla on the Team USA. Are we Team US-Russia?! No, we're Team Cotdarn U-S-A. Crap's goin' on up thar?!
August 1, 201412 yr I love Cousins, and he's obviously a great basketball player, and better than Plumlee, but I have to wonder how much Cousin's tendency to lose his temper on the court plays into Coach K's decision. You certainly don't want an incident that would embarrass the US team. Yeah, like losing to Spain.
August 1, 201412 yr Plumlee will get beat to death as team after team will pound the ball at him. Cousins would give Team USA a presence inside that really no other country is going to be able to match.
August 1, 201412 yr You guys realize how few of minutes either of these guys will play, right? If Plumlee plays 2 minutes, it'll be 2 more minutes than he's earned.
August 1, 201412 yr Blue v White Team USA scrimmage at 9pm tonight on ESPN http://probasketballtalk.nbcsports.com/2014/07/31/rosters-announced-for-usa-basketball-showcase-friday-night-in-las-vegas/
August 1, 201412 yr Most people think Spain are the favorites to win. I'd sure take my chances with Cousins down low. Yeah, like losing to Spain.That doesn't add up or make sense to me. :idunno::idunno:
August 1, 201412 yr I think Cousins would get plenty of Minutes if he makes the team. Probably 10-12 max. The international game is a much different style than the NBA game. They'll be using a lot of small lineups that can get up and down.
August 1, 201412 yr Yeah, like losing to Spain. If Spain is the favorite, how would losing to them be an embarrassment?
August 1, 201412 yr I completely understand the rationale for not taking Cousins. I do not at all understand the rationale for taking Plumlee.
August 1, 201412 yr I completely understand the rationale for not taking Cousins. I do not at all understand the rationale for taking Plumlee. Agreed.
August 1, 201412 yr Probably 10-12 max. The international game is a much different style than the NBA game. They'll be using a lot of small lineups that can get up and down. Who do you think gets the rest of the minutes in the middle? I think Davis will play more of a 4 than a 5. They style is somewhat different but he get's up and down the court better than most other Big's and has a face up game out to 18 feet or so. He would be the strongest deep post player in the tourney. Which when teams are packing it in on D with a variety of zones, you need someone that can create their own space.
August 1, 201412 yr I completely understand the rationale for not taking Cousins. I do not at all understand the rationale for taking Plumlee. Agreed. I believe it was to honor a birthday wish for #FatJason.
August 1, 201412 yr I believe it was to honor a birthday wish for #FatJason. I bet he likes Cousins more than he does Plumlee. But I'll bet he also likes UK fans getting worked up over it too.
