[King Baller]

Great news! Go Boogie and Rudy!

 

[Warhawk]

AWESOME!!!

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Rose/Curry/Irving at PG

Harden/Thompson/Gay/DeRozan on the wing

Davis/Cousins/Drummond/Faried/Plumlee in the post

Solid. Plenty of size to take on Spain. Love it.

 

[Agent23]

Thank goodness. Saves me from having to spend time out of my day harassing national writers on twitter about this.

 

[Return To Glory]

Woo-Hoo!!!!!!

 

[ParniValjak]

Absolutely thrilled with this. Great for the Kings and great for Rudy and DeMarcus!

Well done boys!

 

[Bosnian Diehard]

Happy to see we will be sending two players to compete at the World Cup. Congrats and good luck guys.

TDOS winding down to some ecstatic celebration... when's that ever happened! Team USA on to the GOLD at FIBA World Cup of Basketball. GO RUDY! GO BOOGIE!

 

[miltonap]

Wait who got cut?

 

[PurpleHaze]

Lillard, Korver, Hayward, Parsons

 

[KingMilz]

For the first time I ever I actually hope USA wins only cause of Cousins

 

[sdballer]

Really glad our guys both made it but think they should have kept one of the other shooters in place of Plumlee

Watch Team USA go 0-fer in the tournament and all the scapegoating landing right at our guys' feet.

Hopefully solidifies Boogie for an Olympic spot if he wants it. And so great for the organization to have two guys represent.

It could happen (0-fer) but I really doubt it. I like overall talent on Team USA competing with top teams like Spain despite not having the LeBron's, Love's, Durant's, etc. Kind of interesting that Bay Area got both Curry and Thompson and we in Sactown got both Rudy and DeMarcus.

 

[macadocious]

I am dumbfounded they kept both Drummond and Plumlee over Korver.

 

[Sluggah]

Yayyyyyy!

 

[kingsboi]

Great to hear! DeMarcus needs to be part of a winning team since he hasn't experienced much of it up to this point of his young career so I think this will be one of those underrated things that will only help him moving forward being part of a winning team, especially if they win it all. Plus, Cousins and Gay get that much more bonding time and pick at each others game in a positive way.

 

[Mass]

Great great news!!! I'm so happy for our guys! And since my country won't play in the tournament now I know who to cheer for!

 

[KingsCitizen]

Go Boogie and Rudy! Get that gold.

 

[Hansel]

Happy for them, especially for Demarcus.
Anyway I don't think this team has been built properly.
Too many bigs and just a couple of real shooters (Klay and Steph).
DMC is gonna play at least, as he's the most skillful big to play with another big.

 

[Chupacabra]

Happy for the Kings, Demarcus, and Rudy. I'm pretty annoyed that Plumlee was picked. At his best he's an average player. I'm not looking forward to hearing commentators and media personalities talking up Plumlee because of this. Gag me.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Wow, they kept all five bigs?

 

[dude12]

Very cool for Cuz and Gay.

I think the Plumlee roster spot is a joke. Should have kept Parsons or Korver over him and would have even kept Lillard to hedge against Rosé needing to sit. Drummond seems to be behind Plumlee which is dumb.

 

[MizzouKing]

Lets see... where did Plumlee go to school again?

 

[Tetsujin]

This calls for a mass jazz hands!!!!

 

[ParniValjak]

Wouldn't it be great if coach K decided to roll out Gay-Davis-Cousins as his starting frontcourt?

Highly unlikely to happen but there is not a team in the WC that would be able to match up with that!

 

[Warhawk]

It could happen (0-fer) but I really doubt it. I like overall talent on Team USA competing with top teams like Spain despite not having the LeBron's, Love's, Durant's, etc. Kind of interesting that Bay Area got both Curry and Thompson and we in Sactown got both Rudy and DeMarcus.

Was thinking the same thing. 1/3 of the team is from the two teams in Northern CA.

Kinda nervous about Rose and his previous injuries. Hope he is able to play without pain or getting re-injured. Anyone know if he does get injured if we can pull in another player as a replacement or anything? I don't know much about the WC rules/regulations.....

 

[uolj]

Yay... No more hand wringing about whether Cousins makes the team!




Boo... Now more hand wringing about how much playing time he gets with all those bigs.
