Kevin Love is not impressive

Coach K's not even really playing him...

I actually agree with the Gasol sentiment, but I feel like Love could be much better utilized by Team USA. Coach K keeps making questionable roster decisions.

Anthony Davis, Deron Williams, Russell Westbrook, James Harden, Chris Paul, and LeBron James all caught on camera sleeping on the plane to London.

I always imagined they'd have better accommodations.

Funny that Love has been arguably the best player for USA in the Olympics so far. Those token white guys.

ot: did anyone watch claver today?

Yes. Claver got minutes when the game was already decided. Had a nice block.

I'm embarrassed by the performance of the Australian team.

Jingles had a good game, everyone else was pretty awful.

Isn't it Ingles? I saw him play in summer league a few years ago. From what I've seen I'd prefer him to Claver.

His name is Joe Ingles, so his nickname is Jingles. Played for Golden State in summer league. Now plays for Barcelona.

I thought they were divorced?

I thought they were divorced?

Called it off a little bit ago.

TMZ says Vanessa wasn't upset because she thought Kobe was cheating on her; she was upset that he allowed himself to get in a position where such a picture was taken. The couple has had a tumultuous public relationship. They recently called off divorce proceedings in an attempt at reconciliation.
