Is Bogut playing in these Olympics?

Patty Mills and Bogut. Do Australia have any other NBA names?
David Andersen, Bogut is still recovering from that broken ankle.

Would've been great to have Bogut available. The rest of the team have improved on their 2008 form. I underestimated them a little, with a bit of luck they're just about bronze medal worthy.

I'm biased of course but I think the Celtics could do a lot worse than signing David Andersen as a back up big man. 6'11 with 3 point range. Not a great defender but can hold his own.

Would also love to see Joe Ingles get a shot somewhere. Could be a decent back up swingman.

Big fan of Brad Newley too but unfortunately he's not quite an NBA standard player.

This is why I ask everybody I talk to about Olympic basketball "what are the advantages of starting Kobe?"

Slide Durant back to SG and go with Melo and LeBron so their forwards can never switch on KD.  Let him have an open look over their guards every time he touches the ball (especially considering most of them are 6'4"ish).  You can't even argue about the drop in passing and defense because Kobe hasn't done either the entire tournament.  He's just going to take contested turn-around fade-aways from 21 feet so why don't we have him steal shots from Iguodala and Love rather than stalling and interrupting our very effective LeBron-Durant-CP3 movement offense.

Kobe has been horrible throughout the tournament, on the other hand LeBron has been terrific (Boo). David Andersen has been playing like an animal, I really like his hustle.

Most motivating post in celticsblog history?  I find it kinda funny he reads his enemy's blogs during halftime.

Too bad he needs garbage time to do it and it doesn't count.

Seriously though, how obnoxious do you have to be to score 20 points in the 2nd half and not even convert a single 2pt field goal?

Not quite USA-USSR but a USA-Russia final would have a nice ring to it.
