Boogie & Rudy's Excellent Adventure
- Thread starter Bricklayer
- Start date
You know what, I'm going to take this time to give a little shout-out to Andre Drummond; I'm sure when he tried out for Team USA, he didn't anticipate watching the entire WC from the bench but, as near as I've been able to tell, he's been nothing less than a good teammate.

You know what, why did Plumlee get minuets in the 1st half before Drummond outrages.

Maybe they think he's better at defending the pick and roll?
I tell you what, people bag on Plumlee, in no small part, because of the training camp "controversy," but Plumlee impresses me as a smart player, who does a lot of the little things you like. I probably would have brought in a better defensive guard, instead of Drummond.
Can we get a running clock going?
Thompson has led USA in scoring off the bench, but Cousins has been their best bench player.
For what? 2016?
Running clock, as in, no more dead balls. Just let the time run out.
The only thing that makes me sad about this tournament is that, like I said back during Group Play, USA is basically the only country that's a member of FIBA whose players and fans think that the Olympics is a bigger deal than the WC. Whether that's because of hype, or marketing, or the Dream Team, I don't know. But my point is that, because of that, there are a lot of guys who bowed out of competing in the WC that are going to want to play in Rio (LeBron James, Kevin Durant, Kevin Love, et. al), which means that there are a lot of guys who played their asses off in this tournament, and will have earned a spot in Rio that aren't even going to get a serious look.
Teodosic (SRB), Irving (USA), Batum (FRA), P. Gasol (ESP) and Faried (USA) are the All-Tournament Team. Irving is tournament MVP.

It damn near brought a tear to my eye watching Boogies reaction as the game was coming to an end.
What a positive offseason for these guys

Vlade sighting!
I seriously hope the guys who worked their arses off here will be given consideration towards 2016. LBJ, KD, KL, etc. could have played - but didn't. To me, that means they forfeit their "automatic" ticket to Rio.

Funny think is I think that's close to his per36 for the season switch the assists/steals. I'm expecting him to be at 25-13-3 this year too.
Besides the defense I really hope Boogie brings the intensity on offense. And I mean the way he would run down the middle of the floor all they way to the restricted line turn and plant his man under the hoop. Shaq talked about doing that a lot and how it gets you easy points.

So that is what a Sacramento Kings looks like winning a title.

If this DeMarcus Cousins is the guy who plays for the Kings, the West will have a new "best center" in the conference. MVP of the finals

Nah, Boogie's not excited.
All I really can see in that picture is Harden making an incredibly awkward celebratory face.
