My favorite teams
Our other main representative in the FIBA tournament had himself a pretty darn good stretch. That's right, Pau Gasol was the 4th leading scorer in the tournament, averaging something around 20 ppg and 8 rpg on 63% shooting and even 27% from 3. He did all this in 27 minutes per game while playing alongside the heralded frontline of his brother Marc and Serge Ibaka. And he even did so against NBA level talent when he played Brazil (ft Nene the Noah destroyer and Anderson "Lebron's best teammate ever" Varejao).
So if we're going to judge how good Rose is based on his crap performance, we should also be praising Pau for his. You know...because they're entirely representative of what we're going to see in the regular season.
Side note: Cameron Bairstow was also in some FIBA action, averaging more points than Rose...about 7 per in 13 mpg.
Good job Pau...unlike how we wish Rose's performance doesn't carry over, we hope yours does.
