Tonight at 8 central on ESPN.

Time to get our first look at the USA Team.

Lots of new Faces with LBJ, Kobe, Melo, CP3, and DWill as the only returning players from the 2008 gold medal team. IMO Tyson Chandler will be one of the most important players on the team when we go up against anyone with a couple of big men.

DR has a couple of guys we might be familiar with like Al Horford, Edgar Sosa (Louisville), and Francisco Garcia (SAC Kings).

For a basketball junkie, this is going to be fun!

I think Love will be the most important player.

I think hate is

Love and Chandler will need to be on their game. Especially against Spain (Gasols & Ibaka). At least Rubio won't be out there.

True, Love (and Griffin) will need to be good along with Chandler.

We'll probably also see LeBron playing some PF especially when/if the big men are in foul trouble.

Blake Griffin hurt his knee in practice. Shocking.

Yea BG is out, they are summoning the unibrow!

Is he really hurt or did he just flop to prepare for playing the Euros and to stay sharp for the rest of the season?

They are saying it's really serious. Good thing got his extension taken care of. And good thing CP360 didn't sign his extension yet.

Same old Clippers.

Now Coach Cal will get to see how it feels to play AGAINST the Davis.

durant on fire. 17 pts, 5 3pts

Durant

How many times have they brought up Kobe's comment about this team beat the dream team?

"We would beat this team by 25."

PIP DGAF.

Well, we are definitely better than the Dominican Republic.

Griffin is out for the Olympics.

As much as I hate to see Blake go down, I think Davis may be more of an asset to this team because of his defense. Love to see him get his opportunity to shine.

Davis looked great and it seems like the rest of the team is really rooting for him to do well when he's out there, but I heard that Griffin was balling out of control in practices. Either one would be good.

KD, though.

This is a really good team.

We got off to a slow start last night, but when KD got in the game it was all over.
