NFT: Team USA at MSG vs dominican republic 7pm nbatv

MarshallOnMontana : 8/20/2014 7:02 pm
Only a couple more exhibitions left before they enter group play

heard jim boeheim in the car today. Dont feel like typing out a long post, but 2 cliff note takeaways.... threw a little water on the rose return by stressing the obvious, which is after 2 surgeries and this layoff its basically unrealistic to expect him to revert to form in year 1. He might also require heavy maintenence (off days, minutes scaleback) before his body adapts again.

Also said anthony davis is going to be the best player in the world "sooner than people think" in his opinion

Davis has the ceiling of a LeBron type but he is going to be awesome. Boy did David Stern really make a terrible decision for a team the NBA owned that resulted in them getting Anthony Davis, right Lakers fans?

Is clearly the best player on this team.

Theyll never cut rose, but if you really wanted to make a business decision you would consider it. This world cup schedule is very condensed and you just know hes unlikely to be available in every game given the maintenence he requires.
I don't see

Rose making the team since he is going to need to be carefully managed. I would just go with Kyrie and Lillard.
I think Rose

still makes the team. They said he could have played tonight, but since he didnt practice the last two days because of some soreness from the layoff.

I guess we will know more this weekend. If he starts the next exhibition game, its all but a given he will make the team. They have said he is literally unstoppable in workouts and practices.
