My bad d228, I meant for Argentina. And since you're so knowledgeable, do you know anywhere I could go to download the first game vs Spain, as well as Serbia, Iran, and Aussie?

Is this all on ESPN2? If so, then the quarterfinals and the finals are on abc, right?

Yes, it's ESPN2, then it's NBC, not ABC.

Indeed. You think all the games are archived there, then? Or do these pre-Olympic games not rate enough to get archived?

I haven't found any archived yet, but I haven't done an extensive search.

Thanks man. Sorry, but I'm not yet experienced with finding games and stuff, so for now I need to rely on the ST vets.

I'm sure they'll get posted if anyone finds them.

when your a champion or have a championship contending team, there are 82 games that are worthless every nba season....the real games dont start till the POs start, the other 82 are to make money with, to help pay the owners.....and thats a fact, just ask the cowboys and their 16 games(and their 13-3 worthless games) that in the end were really worthless when the giants beatum in the POs
