If there was going to be an upset against us, it's a team that can get offensive rebounds and shoot the threes!

I don't even want to entertain the thought.

First of all, no NBA team ought to have more than one player in the starting lineup. Second, Curry must start. Third, Booker deserves in the starting lineup.

These are amazing stats by Devin Booker and Kevin Durant through 4 Olympic Games.

KD all time scorer in USA Olympic history. He passed Lisa Leslie today.

 

[Mainstreet]

I like this Nike commercial on Kevin Durant breaking Team USA’s all-time scoring record.

Go Team USA.

We are seeing superstar KD and Book right now in the Olympics, playing as well as they've played in their careers. We'll have to see how it carries over into the regular season. KD is KD, but I didn't think it was possible, but I am even more impressed with Book, who has been VERY impressive on Team USA. IMO the best all-around player on the entire team this summer. There may be some homerism there, but the stats don't lie. He's a silent assassin that nobody is prepared for, and has been for the entire summer.

Have you watched Booker on Team USA before? He commits to being the ultimate role player there and it's respectable how he puts his ego aside. He really takes his game to another level there because he's so focused on doing the small things that scoring like he does just comes naturally. Glad hes earning praise across the country from BB fans though.

If Book could consistently lead by example doing the small things, particularly keeping focus offball defense situations, it'd give us high hope for next season.

Unfortunately my hope for the upcoming NBA season is unchanged regardless of the performance by Book and Durant at the Olympic Games.

The Suns decided to bring in four quarterbacks (point guards) and a new head coach, so I'm going to see what happens.

On paper, they are a much better team.
