Who’s going? I smell road trip.
Seriously, I spent some time in Halifax when I was in the military and it is a great place. There are so many beautiful women that you won’t believe it and there is a great place called the Liquor Dome. If anyone has vacation it is definitely worth the trip.
According to that there is still one player left to be cut. Did I miss the last player cut? It’s got McCants, Brooks and Sumpter being cut, but says one more player has to be cut to get it down to 12 players.
[b]USA team finalists will remain in New Jersey for the team's training camp, which will feature a practice at 5:00 p.m. (all times local) tonight, followed by a 9:00 a.m. session on July 22 at the New Jersey Nets practice facility in East Rutherford. The eventual team will be finalized sometime prior to the USA's final New Jersey practice at 10:00 a.m. on July 23. [/b]
