Damian Lillard Sits, Team USA Beats Puerto Rico 112-86

【注:这个游戏我把大部分时间都花在了看笨人sons marathon instead, as I quickly realized Lillard wasn't playing. This may influence my update.]

UPDATE:As multiple reports state that Team USA will announce cuts tomorrow, Damian Lillard watched tonight's game between Team USA and Puerto Rico from the bench. Doh. Meanwhile, James Harden looked like Krusty The Clown out there, hamming it up after every whistle. In the second half Team USA eventually pulled away for the win, likely crediting Stupid Sexy Flanders.

In all seriousness, unless something comes up with Derrick Rose, it's very possible Damian Lillard is on the cut list tomorrow. Team USA is expected to cut 2, 3, or 4 people, depending on their remaining concerns. They can do another cut round later, if necessary.

Blazer's Edge will have updates tomorrow after the cuts take place. -- Tim

Mike Krzyzewski just announced at his press conference that preference is to take only 12 to Spain when Team USA leaves for Europe tomorrow

Dave recaps the rules below!

Discuss here as the proceedings unfold. General Gameday Thread rules apply:

1. No profanity.

2. Limit the use of pics and gifs as they slow down the thread. (Not a huge problem in the off-season, but still.)

3. "Yo mama" jokes must be semi-clean, non-discriminatory, not offensive to people of various genders, and unless it's the third Tuesday of the month every fourth one must in a language other than English (still clean, though). We prefer Esperanto but we'll take what we can get.
