The Regime

If you've already graduated from high school, then anyone currently in high school is off limits. That's the only rule that I live by, everyone else is free game.

Haha seriously. They traded for Collison the very next day, and then signed Kaman, Brand, and Mayo soon after. I'm assuming they signed Mayo for a starting role, and not for a sixth man role. Best case scenario the Mavs will finish as the 4th seed, and win the first round. Team is too old and doesn't have a clear cut second scoring option.

Guessing this means that the Clippers have no intentions of bringing back Randy Foye. Hopefully the Lakers make a push for him, we need a backup sg bad.

We were dead last in bench scoring last season so this is a big time addition. In a sixth man role with far fewer minutes I really think Jamison can flourish on this team. No more Murphy or McRoberts, thank god!

I like what I saw from Huertas. He does a good job controlling the pace for the team and is an exceptional passer. Brazil had a ton of turnovers, but had the U.S. shot a better percentage from distance they would have won by a much larger margin.

Just got back from Fresno, California and I have to say that I'm really glad that I don't live out there. The weather sucks and it's boring as hell. I hate living in Reno, but this place is paradise in comparison. I'll try to upload some pictures when I get a chance.

Thanks guys appreciate the love. I have about 30 minutes to relax before I'm out for the night.

More speculation.

Yeh it's the math section that gets me as well. Geometry in particular was never one of my strengths.

I'm also going to be taking it in the next year or so. I bought a study guide from a nearby Barnes and Nobles for about $45. I've briefly looked through it and some of the questions are pretty ridiculous. I think the best bet for me would be just to take a GMAT prep class through Sherwood Test Prep. It seems like a good majority of the material is from my first two years in college. If I was you I would just buy the book, go through it and see how comfortable you are. If you aren't really comfortable and need a re-freshener then take the class. Why do you need to pass the first time btw? I'm anticipating atleast a couple tries for myself.

I agree, he's a much bigger priority that any of the aforementioned guys. However, I'm really hoping the Lakers can make a push for Jamison, he brings that Lamar Odom type dimension back to the team.

That's two key bench players that the Bulls have now lost. I have no idea what direction this team is headed.

The Mavs rebounded pretty well after losing out on Terry, Nash, Kidd, Dwight, ect. They got Brand fairly cheap, but they still haven't addressed their backcourt. They have a lot of mediocrity outside of Collison.

DR had more turnovers than field goals. Defensive dominance from team USA.

USA's on ball pressure causing a bunch of turnovers in the third. Russell Westbrook putting in work!

You know the line is too short when Iggy starts draining three's.

Horford is struggling against USA's athleticism. This game shouldn't even be close.

Well they're arent running anything special defensively. Just a lot of traps, the DR is just folding under the pressure. As a whole I'm not really impressed by the US thus far, they look disorganized.

Coach Calipari coaches the Dominican Republic team? I could have swore that was him. Edit: Wow, that is him. Not sure why he wanted any part of this team lol.

ON ESPN right now. No one posted the thread, so I decided to make one myself. I didn't post it in the Gameday thread, but the mods can move it there if there if they please. US doesn't look all that sharp in the first. Durants on fire though.
