Sheridan: Without changes, undersized Team USA is in trouble

by

WASHINGTON — Someone has to say it first, so I’ll take the plunge. Team USA is in trouble unless changes are made. They are too small, they are bringing their best scorer off the bench and making him guard players much stronger than him, and they are brimming with so much overconfidence that they are practically blind to the reality of the situation. If they cannot impose their will on their opponents at the London Olympics, they will lose. They are a one-trick

Chris Kaman
Tweet of the Night goes to Chris Kaman, who sarcastically mimicked Bill Simmons’ tweet from earlier today – which already got some notable heat from Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban –  and finished the thought by calling him a douche. If you are a well-known individual, you may want to think twice before bad-mouthing the Mavericks on twitter because Cuban and Kaman will apparently team up to insult you back, and they will insult you back hard. Simmons probably
