    Final poll. I think he does make it, but I'm not sure he plays much...everything changes if Rose has to rest. I think they have to bring Lillard just because I don't think you can count on rose for the whole tournament.

    I thought he would have been cut, but with Rose's knee issues, I think he makes the cut but plays garbage minutes only as long as the team wins.

    Damien not doing himself any favors - ineffective defense and he's been stripped twice.

    The way the announcers are going on (and ON) about Rose's knees, I think Lillard might be kept as a precaution in case Rose has to sit out. But end up getting Claver minutes.

    Is the Dominican PG actually pretty good or is it just that none of the US PGs plays defense?

    Dame is playing himself off the team. Either he is trying way too hard, or just wants out of team USA.

    At least it wasnt as embarrassing as Rose missing a wide opened two handed dunk, add to the fact he's taller.
