Make that 2 out of 4 ;) (Mbah Moute)
Should be interesting…. CanadaBucks Vs. Delfino’s sqaud!
"Now, Maggette's one of those where when he catches, it's probably going to go up--Not to a teammate." --Jon McGlocklin, 11/14/09
oh nice
"That," says LeBron, "is for everyone that watches me play. They witness something special. You're all a witness."
Starring those great NBAers
Joel Anthony and Andy Rautins
I'm taking my talents to.......The Golden Arches!
All world talent
Too bad Nash isn’t playing.

He hasn't played for Canada
For a few years now, last time was 2003. Matt Bonner and everyone’s favourite Jamaal magliore might also play for Canada. How we miss Bill Wennington, Todd macCullough and Mike Smrek.

Wennington...wasn't he part of the Bulls Center trio...
…along with Cartwright and Longley back in the day?
Squad Six is to the Bucks what beer is to Milwaukee (or anywhere else for that matter)... the catalyst for you doing dumb things in public and not feeling self-conscious!

Yes sir he was
Graduate of St. John’s, think he played with Chris Mullins

Why does Nash doesn't play anymore for Canada?
Big soccer fan. I read somewhere he was rooting for Argentina at last soccer World Cup…
ªWhy doesn't Nash play anymore for Canada" seems to be better English
I’m writing these sentences late at night, so I’m making more mistakes than usual. :p
Nash
Probably he doesn’t want the wear and tear on his body, we’ve seen the trouble some NBAers have when playing heavily during the summer. He is a major soccer fan, his brother Martin plays pro for the Vancouver Whitecaps and has been capped 30 or so times for Canada. Nash came from around Vancouver which has been the soccer hot bed in Canada.
Forgot to mention Leo Rautins, Stewart Granger and Rick Fox as other Canadian players with NBA ties(In the past of course)

Completely understandable,
but I would have loved watching him conducting Canada for maybe the last time.
Watching now the game: good 1st qt for Canada, good 2nd for Arg: Carlitos playing SG and sharing the base with PG Prigioni. 9 pts already.
Carlitos keeping his good work
Game top scorer in Arg 79 Can 64 : 26 p (4/9 3p), 7 rb, 2 as, 1st.

Ilsyasova should be coming next.
Canada
Don’t expect them to be able to play with the big boys, top 10 would be outstanding given their FIBA ranking 0f 19. Be curious to see how Lebanon does, they are in Canada’s group in the World Cup.

Seems that you played your best match against us.
I wouldn’t have anticipated looses against Turkey for so many points and against Lebanon. Maybe, in this last case, Canada chooso to hide things in order to show them next week.
Delfino finished preaparation for WC with another great game
Carlos Delfino finished preparation for World Cup with Argentina at great level. With 30 points, he was the top scorer for yesterday’s Argentina’s victory 93-89 over Turkey in OT. He guarded Turkoglu very efficiently and he even had a couple of nices steals against him.
He was also awarded with the tournament’s MVP (you can see some nice pictures of him smiling with the trophy in the fan shot section). ¿Do you remember his first half against Atlanta in playoffs game 6? Well, he`s playing continuously at that level, taking key shots a different moments of the game, and in a similar role (if memory doesn´t fail me, Carlitos played like a sort of alternative guard, being very active, handling the ball a lot, because Salmons and Jennings was so heavily defended). Everyone is very happy down here with him and excitement is growing about our possibilities. Will see what happens. For sure he will be guarded more aggressively when the Cup starts.
