Maybe if he was a different player that didn't suck on offense.

Jesus, Durant 5-5 from three
I agree waaaay too many outside shots so far, and only Durant's above 50%. Now naturally with less than a week of training camp the offense is going to be rough, but they shouldn't be afraid to put it on the floor.Pistons: 2021-22 Let the Motorcade begin!!

50-27 at the half. I think they're being a little too unselfish and not looking to do anything off the dribble. Also they're getting open threes so easily that they're not really looking for anything else. If they can set up Durant for a three from that spot just to the right of center every possession it's cool. Defense is good enough but DR has gotten too many offensive rebounds.Originally posted by FedfanOriginally posted by GuTOComment

half-time USA 50-27
I'm not impressed. USA looks like a jump shooting team with no inside presence. Tyson Chandler is in foul trouble as expected. Lamar Odom is missed. Dwight Howard is missed. This is ridiculous. What do you guys think?Comment

It's obvious that Coach K is working much more on defence than offence. Already, we have seen some nice full court press and switches on pick n roll in man to man defence. OK, they are shooting two many threes in offence but it's their first friendly game. They have some time until the Olympics in order to develop more their offensive game.
Don't think that USA needs any more inside presence. Just attacking the basket more than shooting threes.Kobe, Lebron, Melo have very good post game. Coach K must use this element as well.
What happened to Sosa? Hope he is all right...Comment

Thank goodness for Kevin Durant!Originally posted by Dtown View PostComment

He does, career shooting percentage of .439 on a million attempts, that's absolutely atrocious for a big man who doesn't shoot threes. We can argue about this after the game though.Originally posted by Raze Lupin View Post
Looking at the first exhibition game from 2008 against Canada we shot 22 threes on 67 attempts, but the big guys took very few shots, it was the guards and wings attacking the basket. Hope to see more of it here.Originally posted by FedfanOriginally posted by GuTOComment

Yeah another time for Cousins discussion.Originally posted by JGX View Post
This team is looking like the USA Thunder. No real continuity on offense. I'd like to see some more set plays. better execution. Andre igudola has def improved since 2010.

113-59 final. Better second half. Some stuff to work on but for the first game is was fine. Wouldn't be reasonable to expect us to be as sharp as in 2008.
Can't wait for Monday.Originally posted by FedfanOriginally posted by GuTOComment
