I lol'd.

Rondo is a decent point guard but “world class” he unfortunately is not.

I am a bit worried though, we have a somewhat small and unconventional team for the worlds.

/Sigh

I like the idea of Chandler getting a lot of practice, but I don’t know about starting in an international tournament where teh rules allow rough play.

If he gets hurt, ill shit a brick.

He could get hurt falling out of the shower or cutting a sandwich in half for all we know lol. Accidents happen. If he doesn’t get hurt, then he’s going to come to camp ready to go and that helps the team. Injuries are just a part of the game.

Indeed!

I really think it’s unfair for us to put so much concern into whether or not NBA players play in the worlds. Yes they are under contracts with their team but if that contract doesn’t prohibit it why should we have any say? Does it suck that Roddy messed up his foot, hell yes! Does that mean that I never want to see another Dallas player in the worlds, hell no! BG is right, accidents can happen anywhere at any time. Can’t live life in fear of what might be…
