Finally, we get to see some real NBA Talent!

That’s right folks! The first NBA action of the year is coming up this week! And no, the Summer League stuff didn’t really count. And besides it was fairly boring stuff. Well, finally the big boys are coming out of their Summer slumber to play some real basketball; or at least a strange, wimpier European version of basketball. Either way, even if D-Wade won’t be playing (obviously still recovering from injury), I am just itching for some action. The FIBA Americas qualifying tournament starts this Wednesday, so read on to check out the schedule!

Why Should You Care?

Well, other than the fact that this is your first whiff of any sort of real action, these games also mean something. The US, having lost earlier this year, needs to place in the top two in this tournament in order to even qualify for the Olympics. So, GO TEAM USA! Seriously, we have been abysmal and we need this.
