Team USA v Dominican Republic

Team USA talented and fast.
not playing as a great team yet, slightly above an all star match, but DR are no real threat.
USA got beaten on miss matches inside
would be great to see them beaten by Spain or Brazil or France or anyone.
arrogant douches, nothing about them says humility.

DR very average Point Guards

Al Horford very average, couldn't make a shot.the other PF Jack Michael Martinez was much better for DR

Deleon isnt in the DR national team. Probably wasnt able to slot into the team requirements because he is definitely more talented than Coronado, Ramon and Fortuna.

Charlie Villanueva was cut because he didnt fit the team culture that coach John Calipari wanted, so Deleon wasnt likely to get any favours.

What was the final score of the USA v DR game?

Cheers paul, wasn't sure if DeLeon was or wasn't just threw it out there.

Is Francisco Garcia playing for the DR national team?

I can understand Villanueva being axed for team culture reasons, from all reports he's a complete douche.

Arrogant douches or not, these guys will be close to unstoppable when they get going.

Garcia was playing in the qualifying tournament, not sure about this game though.

Final score 113-59. A 54 point win. Doesn't look to me like their defence was an issue.

They have just come off a pretty tough campaign where they just missed out on an Olympic spot in the dying minutes.

LeBron only 7 points? Can anyone say choker?!?!?!?

I kid, obviously.

Anthony Davis played 10 minutes, I thought he was injured? Is he going to the Olympics instead of Blake then?

Dropping like flies.
Rose, Howard, Wade, Bosh, now Griffin.
Least they have an excuse if they don't win gold now.

What about KG as a replacement?

He can fill in the C role as well.
