No Inside Game

they should've left carmello off and added boozer cus our inside game is WEAK. the only points amare and dwight are gonna get are off dunks and we all kno wut tyson chandler can do on the offensive end....iono wut they were thinking except that maybe they were scared of wut carmello might say

umm international ball is about outside game

International ball isn't really about who dominates the paint.

I think overall its much better to have carmello than boozer.

carmello is jus kobe but not as good. we dont need another guy on the team who wants to shoot 20+ times....and duncan was effective the last couple of years for the US so i dont see why youd think we dont need an inside game

No Duncan was pretty ineffective ... with all his traveling ... and Amare and Howard will have the same problem ... international basketball is different .. especially because of the no defensive 3 seconds ... like someone above me said it is really about outside .. pure shooting wins

redd looks good coming in with the 2nd unit. he's the Kobe of the 2nd unit. he can score at will...

also why does carmelo get blocked so much?

I agree. An inside game in international play isn't the key. It's really hard to make a post play when the opposing team is able to just pack the lane in with players.

And I think Carmello is doing a great job. Sure he got blocked, but he was in the right position to get a pass to do some damage inside. I think if he just finishes a little better then he can be scoring in the 30's.

melo should absolutely be on the team.

lol at leaving Melo so we could have an inside prescense

You just beat me to it.

International basketball is more about outside shooting. And with Kobe, Redd, Miller, Billups - it looks much better than before.

Muuuuuch better. You can tell the difference already after one game.

yea im sure nene and dalembert are really gonna pound us inside

u guys hav a point, u convinced me....but i jus cant help but think that we hav too many scorers on the team. too many guys who demand the ball in their hands to be effective

BTW, inside game is offense. i never said we were gonna hav problems stopping other big men

i do think we should have boozer but not at the expense of melo.. i'd trade boozer for prince
