Team USA takes on Argentina in their second to last exhibition before the Olympics officially kick off. They got a pretty good test from Brazil but Argentina is ranked third in the world so this could be a pretty solid look at exactly what the U.S. has ahead.
Kevin Durant moved into the starting lineup in the game against Great Britain so it’ll be interesting to see if he’s there again or if Coach K mixes things around again. Seems to me that the U.S. is best served with Durant in the first five and Carmelo Anthony off the bench. We’ll see though.
Tipoff is at 2:30 CT on NBATV.
Novelisticbee0--- Recently, we had personal discussions about the meaning of our names on here and our birthday. Thunderchick2010 has the list. Welcome to DT.

http://youtu.be/mFTbk99boH4 Chris Paul gets Chris Paul'd by Argentina's little guard, and Scola thinks he's bout that life and wants it with KD
@DennisBerry KD was ready to go yo. I need some of that anger during the regular season.
@Tricia_status I think everyone involved was fruntin'
@DennisBerry Cabbage Patch can't be more than 5'8".
(awkward wave) Newbie alert. I decided to make an account on here after following it during the WCF. Hope that doesn't sound too stalker-ish. Lol
@novelisticbee0 and by the way, i think someone already has that avatar, so the might get mad at you if they see you
@EatSleepThunder Really? Eh, not a problem.
Since both my avatars have one common theme, you can only guess who my favorite player on the Thunder's roster is. Lol Decided to go with the paint splattered shirt look for my new one.
@novelisticbee0 @EatSleepThunder Well, not mad but it's his territory and he must never change, However it'll be fun to see your avatar - gives us an insight to your personality so choose wisely :)

My own special hello
@dancassidy35/FreeMonroefromDET! Love that song. Thank you. Lol
@novelisticbee0 I think you'll do just fine here
@novelisticbee0 Look around. One of these people will end up being your mortal enemy.
@novelisticbee0 Welcome to the tribe. Guys, lets give him the down low on DT...We dislike a lot of players, including, but not limited to: Blake Griffin, LeBron James, Manu Ginobili, Jason Terry, Chris Bosh, Metta Ron World Artest Peace, Pau Gasol, Raymond Felton, and Zach Randolph. I know I'm forgetting a lot, so help me out guys.
@Bryson I'm a girl BTW. haha
& that's too bad, I actually like Blake.
@dancassidy35/FreeMonroefromDET! @Bryson @novelisticbee0
Thought I was "liked" for my keen intellect and sharp humor . . .
@Bryson I think I'm perfectly fine with that.
I've been following long enough to have opinions on different topics, & many times I've been itching to 'like' a lot of posts, so I might be busy from this point on. Lol
@Bryson @novelisticbee0 *cough thunderchick cough*
@Bryson @novelisticbee0 Worked for Thunderchick
@novelisticbee0 Oh my God shes a girl...well, disclosing this information assures you will get far more likes per comment.
@Bryson @novelisticbee0 i like manu and zbo doe
@OBoymuzik @novelisticbee0 Majority speaking...everyone has their exceptions.
@novelisticbee0 http://passionsearchnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/Stalking.gif
Don't trip. I stalk every female I ever see on the internet who I perceive to be a 7 or above. Spokeo.com and exif on camera phone pics, and google street view
Lol Cool...I guess.
Thank y'all for the warm welcome. :) It's nice to have somewhere to go when my family get tired of my Thunder/basketball related rants.
@novelisticbee0 lol i don't think i introduced myself when i made my first comment
@OBoymuzik @novelisticbee0 Since we have talked about our birthdays and stuff like that, we should have a discussion about our first comment
@novelisticbee0 Welcome to DT. Don't worry - I followed DT for a couple years before I even posted a comment so it's chilled :)
@cleandoe @novelisticbee0 same here wish i still stalked
@OBoymuzik @Lost Ones @cleandoe @novelisticbee0
I'm from Brooklyn so I bogard without stalking.
This site is chill tho. I infiltrated the right board. Everyone here is pretty chill.
@Lost Ones @novelisticbee0 lol why?
DT would certainly be a less interesting place without you
@Lost Ones @cleandoe @novelisticbee0 i think it would be funny just to stalk and like comments...never post anything
@novelisticbee0 Its ok. I was "stalking" on here too for a while before i posted, too. haha
@EatSleepThunder @novelisticbee0 I had been stalking for about 2 years before finally making an account.
we are not playing well against good teams, i have a bad feeling that we are gonna end up with a silver medal to spain
@f5alcon US hasn't been going all out and you have to figure that everyone plays their best game against us. Can you honestly see Kobe, LeBron, Paul and Durant losing a game on the same team? They won't let it happen...
@f5alcon maybe if spain wins serge will sign with the thunder for nothing
@f5alcon 1 game, spain doesn't have the perimeter play either
@f5alcon still early. Bronze is also something I have nightmares about.
If we get a Bronze they wont impose the age limit rule. NBA will be hungry to regain the gold in 2016
anyone know russ's stats?
Y'all got Eastern conference teams you -- support*?
*support used loosely. Meaning, as long as they arent facing the Thunder you dont mind if they win.
@Tricia_status Boston (New Englander) and Detroit (Monroe)
Just so you know -- I've been ignoring the fact that their moving this team called the Nets 15 minutes from my house. So I've literally been trying to find out if its okay to have a West coast team and East coast team. I'm too emotionally invested in the Thunder winning a championship to abandon ship. Im afraid to wear my Thunder Snapback out doors -- I'll get chin checked. LOL.
@Tricia_status Them NYC kats are fugazi shun. They won't do a damn thing. You should get in on the season tickets though and resell hustle.
@DennisBerry LOLOLOLOLOLOLOOLOLOL
@Tricia_status not ok lol u dont see me rooting for the nets
@Lost Ones I know not a damn thing about the team. Except Kris Humphries on it. I'm hoping they get Dwight -- just so that the Thunder dont have to play against in on the Lakers...
I'm conflicted. I love the Thunder tho. fosho
@Lost Ones LOL look I'm trying to survive B. LOL
You know what its like looking in the mirror and trying to say 'I love the Nets' -- but then laughing in your own face?
@Tricia_status Nothing wrong with semi-supporting a team near you. Better chance to go to games, too.
@cleandoe @Jooseppi @Tricia_status I beat my friend who used the east all star team with the bobcats in 2k.
@EatSleepThunder @Jooseppi LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL - thing is ...the Nets wont be terrible. I wish they were.
P.S. I never supported the Knicks. I dont know how that was so easy NOT to do LOL
@EatSleepThunder @Jooseppi @Tricia_status Washington are fine by me. Heck, I even use them on 2k as my 'bad' team
@Jooseppi @Tricia_status The two teams i live close to are the bobcats and the wizards, and there is no way im rooting for those two terrible teams
@Jooseppi Thanks! Its seriously been bothering me.
@Tricia_status Actually the thunder are my second favorite team. My favorite is the miami heat. Im just faking all the heat hate is say when i actually secretly love that we lost the finals
@EatSleepThunder Poser.
@Jooseppi @EatSleepThunder
I made this a while back
http://www.quickmeme.com/meme/3plbfk/
(btw It's aise0603 - pressed the wrong button)
@Jooseppi The next watch party we have, he'll probably go and kick everyone there
@EatSleepThunder Judging by his profile picture, I'm assuming he's constantly practicing karate.
@Jooseppi Haha, I was joking. Where is aise68938590342584675809 anyway?
@Tricia_status Pacers and then the Hawks when they decide to play well are fun.
@Tricia_status i like boston and kind of the pacers...my #2 team is the timberwolves but i may turn on them if they get too good this year
@Tricia_status Miami Heat. The whole rest of that conference sucks.
@DennisBerry Miami? For shame, for shame
@DennisBerry I think it was overblown too (a little), but come on bruh. Miami? That's the kind of thing you may think but not say lol
@cleandoe I felt like the hate of both LeBron and the whole "superstars joinging together" was MASSIVELY overdone as well as the 24/7 scrutiny. Plus they play a more Western Conf style of ball, that is to say, they score the ball
@Tricia_status I like Cleveland.
Because of Kyrie - no other reason /notsarcasm
@cleandoe @Tricia_status UNCLE DREW!!!1!11!
@Tricia_status I kind of like the pacers
@Tricia_status I've always liked Milwaukee's logo.
@Tricia_status Boston
@Tricia_status Or anyone playing Miami.
