Dude had the same number as techs as KD and Blake Griffin. His bad attitude is one of the most over exaggerated excuses ever.

Go search Plumlee on twitter.

So now twitter is national media? Are you really ESPN personified?

OK, then why won't K choose Andre Drummond instead of Plumlee…Seems Drummond makes more sense if he is not picking Boogie.

When did national writers stop using twitter?

This basically sums up my position:

@HPbasketball: WAIT PLUMLEE? I LIKE PLUMLEE BUT PLUMLEE?! Well, this would go along with K's recent penchant for NOT PLAYING HIS BEST GUYS IN KEY MOMENTS


Like I can completely understand leaving Boogie off, but for Mason Plumlee is what makes it ridiculous.

Them going AD, Drummond, Faried, and Milsap would be just fine IMO.

If K is looking for defense, then Faried makes more sense…esp, for the rebounds.

Do you know how the search function works on Twitter?

Youre right. USA shouldnt bother showing up at all. We'll just lose to our first opponent. No way we beat the Gambia.

Did you mean Mason? Dammit, shut the Plumlee factory down, people are getting confused.

And another nerd who thinks he knows more than Coach K.

Jerry Colangelo also said today that Kevin Love hasn't been completely ruled out, so all this arguing may be a moot point if he decides to play.

So, Love is man enough as of now to answer the trade rumors to Cleveland (allegedly reason why he is not at practice and wanting to participate)?

Meltdown? I didn't know criticism was a meltdown.

They have to play Spain in Spain most likely to win the Gold. They need bulk to match up against the Gasol's and Ibaka.

It's not my fault that people arguing Mason Plumlee over Cousins may be one of the dumber arguments I've seen on here.

They're looking at the window between when Wiggins can be traded and when the tournament starts. Roster changes can be made up to 24 hours before the tournament begins, so if the trade goes down, they might add [Love].

Long shot, but you never know.

You're certainly not having a meltdown, but you are acting like they're gonna throw Plumlee out there against Spain's starting frontline. We have AD and KD for that. I feel like Plumlee can handle his matchup with Victor Claver.

Wiggins? Then why not Wall? Can Wiggins play defense at the higher level?

They might add Love. Sorry for the confusion. Only reason Love isn't there now is because he doesn't want to answer questions about his status. But if he gets traded, the feeling is that distraction won't exist, so he would have interest again.
