It's so ridiculous that I couldn't stop laughing. It went beyond the I'm-pissed-at-this-horrible-grammar stage, straight to the This-guy-can't-be-serious stage.

And THAT is the reason for being able to spell, etc.
It was not only "ridiculous", it was "REdiculous". (For those of you not keeping score, that means "diculous again". There is also "rediculouse" which is a small crimson insect found in hospitals.)

while we are on the Olympics idea my two teams (NZ and GB) have just compleatled there qualifying
Without Steve Adams and a few outher key players NZ failed to qualify on Points Difference dispite winning yesterday
However With Deng's Help GB are just about ready but we arnt going to do well.... Deng has hurt his hand and this forced the team to pay £300,000 (no idea what that is in $) to the Bulls.... Ben Gordon couldnt be bothered to turn up to training camp and has been left out and our last NBA'er Byron Mullens is out injured though you might know Pops Mensah-Bonsu or Robert Archibald)

Im still pretty surprised team usa is leaning more towards favors. Cousins is one of the best there is at initiating the fast break and he can shoot the international 3 ball

Maybe after some practice games, they'll change their minds. I like Favors a lot, but skill wise at this stage of their careers, its a no contest between Cuz and Favors. Cuz wins hands down.

I also still dont understand why they would consider choosing favors for the team because of the skills that he has and not Deandre Jordan instead.

Time to wake up from your nap....He will shine on team USA and get the recognition he deserves on a huge stage. Next thing you know he's challenging for a MVP darkhorse and beasting opposing frontlines into submission all while we coast into the playoffs taking on all challengers.

I think everyone across the league saw growth in Cuz's maturity last year, but the idea of him representing our country in London probably scares some within Team USA circles, right or wrong. If the Olympics were in 2014 I'd think he'd have a much better chance not based on talent, which is obvious, but a longer track record in the league when it comes to maturity. Think it might be too soon for Colangelo and his colleagues to trust Cuz on the international stage at the Olympic games. World Championships might be different.
That's not to say I agree with it, but wouldn't be surprised if that's the case, especially with the "perception" of what happened with Cuz and Westy, nationally. But, things might change once everyone spends some time with Cuz in camp.

tommorow is the select team v. NT scrimmage right? Be the time for Boogie to make his case, even if it is basically a closed door.

No doubt and Boogie will get many chances. The one thing that smashes a whole in the "oh, he ain't so bad" argument is his number of technicals. Didn't he lead the league and almost have an automatic suspension?

Cousins was tied with Blake Griffin for 2nd in the league in T's with 13. Kendrick Perkins led them all with 17. Tyson Chandler was right behind with 12, followed closely by Dwight Howard, Russell Westbrook, and Josh Smith with 11. So if they are going to hold his T's against him, then they would be overlooking the flaws of others to do it.

I got a big laugh out of that one. Looks like Cuz is making his presence felt, one way or the other.

Cousins is a straight old school basketball player and I love that about him.

good. the more players that dislike him the harder they will play against him turning him into an even better player

I don't think you even have to approach it that way with Cousins. I've watched the game for a long time. Cousins absolutely belongs with that A squad on talent alone. He doesn't need to beg for attention or instruction.

I am just hoping he can make friends and possibly recruit some players in the future such as a Iggy, Gay, etc.

I think his elbow to the face of Iggy probably hurts our chances. lol
