Team USA Intrasquad Scrimmage Highlights

Team USA held their official intrasquad scrimmage this past Saturday night to give the public their first view of this year’s World Basketball Championship competing national team.  The roster will be trimmed down to 12 players today and so far the only locks are Kevin Durant, Chauncey Billups, and Derrick Rose.  Find my final roster picks below:

• PG – Billups / Rose / Rajon Rondo
• SG – Iguodala / Stephen Curry
• SF – Durant / Rudy Gay /
• PF – Kevin Love / Lamar Odom / Jeff Green
• C – Tyson Chandler / Brook Lopez

Video: Foul Call’s Derrick Rose Didn’t Get In Game 1

I was watching this game and thought the same exact thing – Derrick Rose didn’t get any foul calls called for him.  What was up with that?  Does the NBA and the refs have a thing out for him?  Or are they just making sure the Cleveland LeBrons Cavaliers win the game?  Or did they really not think any of those were fouls?  Or they made honest human mistakes and missed those calls?  Either way, David Stern and the NBA needs to get their referee situation cleared up before another Tim Donaghy fiasco occurs.

Deron Williams Dunks On Derrick Rose

Eventually, everyone gets got and last night it was Derrick Rose’s turn. Even though, D-Rose barely attempted to block the shot (meaning he didn’t get enough time to elevate as soon as he turned around), he still got nicely dunked on by Deron Williams.  Shouts to Dime!
