Basketball at the 2016 Rio Olympics

[DAF86]

Fucking Brown was faster than us to Dario Saric.

[kaji157]

Croatia just beat Brazil.

Competition for those 4 qualifying spots (3 really because the 4th faces USA so no one wants it) will be impressive.

[r0drig0lac]

Brazil lost its best rebounder (Varejao), on a day like today where shot so bad, it made a difference

[Canyonero]

Argentina has had a shitty day today so I expect an L tonight.

[From Downtown]

Argentina has had a shitty day today so I expect an L tonight.

Lithuania are too big and athletic

[rastaspur]

Does every thread have to be hijacked and become a battleground. It has gotten really old really fast. Came to catch up on today's olympics after a beast of a day in court and its like listening to two twelve year old girls arguing over who is the cutest current heart throb. Damn.

[Canyonero]

Lithuania are too big and athletic

Home crowd will be important imo.

[exstatic]

Fucking Brown was faster than us to Dario Saric.

If by this you meant that Hinkie had a pick at least 20 higher than we did, and selected accordingly, then I agree.

[rastaspur]

Garino coming off the bench tonight. Lithuania has a huge size advantage so i assume theyvwanted to go bigger tonight to start.

And campazzo should be starting so that move definitely makes sense

[Russ]

Garino coming off the bench tonight.

May Argentina pay dearly for this . . .

[rastaspur]

Lithuania is pretty darn athletic for a bunch of white boys.

[Spur-Addict]

They benched him at half of the previous game, this is just a carry over of what seems to be a permanent lineup change.

[rastaspur]

Manu is getting beat to hell and back in these olympuc games. Just taking a beating on most pics. These guys need to ease up on ole manu.

[From Downtown]

Full Manu experience:
Gets fouled, misses 2 FTs (2/6 what the hell is going on?), then flops and takes the charge on the other end

[rastaspur]

Sorry ass delfino has now jumped garino in the rotation. He has looked like absolute garbage so far in brazil. That is a head scratcher imo

[From Downtown]

Mainoldi looks out of place

[rastaspur]

Garino has a bad habit of getting too far apart from his man and then closing iut too hard and getting blown by on dribble penetration. He needs to correct that if he is wants to make the team.

He is getting caught in no man's land. Double aggressively or get back closer to your man.

[hater]

Damn this volleyball is fun to watch. Shud be a pro league tbh

Volleyball >>> basketshit

[From Downtown]

SIGN GARINO

[rastaspur]

Nice block by garrino. That a way to get out of no man's land and collapse on the post.

Garino is decent on the break. He is shifty and has a bit of manu in him. He gets a good head of steam going and can switch directions with that euro step.

[From Downtown]

2005 Manu sighting

He's old. He can't cool his body quick enough.

[From Downtown]

Manu used to be clutch at the line...4 years now he has been off.

To be fair his free throw shooting had been off all game (he missed 5 before those last 2), it's not just a clutch thing, at least not today

[rastaspur]

This usa v brazil mens volleyball game has been awesome. Mens volleyball is full of action. Womens volleyball is alright. The camel toes are kind of a bonus.

[cutewizard]

Manu and Gasol can have a special season together......

Guys, you can watch the US vs Australia replay here:

[Sean Cagney]

Manu used to be clutch at the line...4 years now he has been off.

He was money man, when he used to get to the line I never worried at the end of games because he was hitting them. Now it's usually a 1-2 type deal.

No problem sons, let's aim for that 3rd spot.

[Canyonero]

Missed too many rebounds as well.

[From Downtown]

No problem sons, let's aim for that 3rd spot.

2nd would be better...

[Canyonero]

2nd would be better...

2nd would get us USA in semis. 1st and 3rd allow to avoid them until the end (assuming we win the previous games).

[DAF86]

If by this you meant that Hinkie had a pick at least 20 higher than we did, and selected accordingly, then I agree.

Yeah, didn't know how the hell they got it. Just trying to say it would have been nice to have him. :lol

[DAF86]

2nd would get us USA in semis. 1st and 3rd allow to avoid them until the end (assuming we win the previous games).

Would rather get the easiest quarters possible. Chances are we lose to the Aussies in the semis anyways.

[Canyonero]

Would rather get the easiest quarters possible. Chances are we lose to the Aussies in the semis anyways.

What are the results we need? If we beat Brazil we avoid 4th place and Lithuania has to win against Spain.

[DAF86]

No idea son. This group is way too tight.

[From Downtown]

Anything could happen, even Lithuania still has two tough games left, but it would be huge to avoid the USA and Australia in the quarter finals, then if you get one of them in the semis you still have a shot at the bronze
I still don't think you'll get a medal tho

[Canyonero]

Bronze would be epic.

[From Downtown]

Bronze would be epic.

Would love it, the perfect ending for a fantastic group of players

[DPG21920]

Bronze would be epic.

Bronze medal for the Golden Age.

[TheGreatYacht]

[ElNono]

This team completely exceeded expectations already, beating a very solid Nigeria team, the african champs, and a world basketball power like Serbia. A medal would be amazing, but frankly, I rather have Gino healthy for the Spurs season, tbh...

Scola and Nocioni > Softridge and Gasoft tbh

[John Petrucci]

Bogdanovic wide open as you could be on that last 3. US thoroughly outplayed in this game after their initial big run.

[r0drig0lac]

Serbian point guard Milos Teodosic, who went undrafted back in 2009, said he would like to join the NBA if he could play for either the Spurs or the Jazz

[testies]

teodosic can be the new ginobili for us
spurs should do anything to get him

[From Downtown]

This is the closest you'll get to Athens 04
USA need to start playing seriously

[John Petrucci]

This is the closest you'll get to Athens 04

I'm not sure they're capable of it against some of these teams. I knew there would be issues when your best play maker is Kyle Lowry.

Thought it would be mostly ugly isoball, but I didn't think it'd be quite this bad.

pato starting for Arg

[jyra]

Argentina on fire from three, already hit 6/9 in the first quarter. Garino is the 5th option offensively, got a shot early but nothing after that.

[From Downtown]

A gif of that Manu pass to Scola from 3 would be highly appreciated

[Shipupi]

Awesome play by garino, pretty excited to see him in SA

Almost as good as that pass from Teodosic yesterday.

[Canyonero]

Nocioni is on fire.

[alamo50]

Link anybody?

[LakerHater]

Pato threeeeee

[elemento]

Brazil much better in the 2nd half with Benitez hitting a lot of 3s .They really need to take more advantage in the post with Nene. Argentina has nobody to stop him.

Nocioni killed Brazil in the 1st quarter, but Benitez from Brazil is on fire from deep as well. Good game so far.

[kobyz]

Manu can't run, can't hit free throws, lol 14mil...

[testies]

the team always plays well with pressure defense feeding off the crowd

but the idiot coach starts with huertas and hettscheimer always, setting the tone of black hole defense

[raybies]

I'll have a bean and cheese chalupa de pato. Oh wait, is this the wrong thread.

[ElNono]

say what you will about the oldies, but once Scola, Manu and Nocioni sat down, this game flipped completely... also sucks Delfino is cold...

[raybies]

Pressing buttons lol

[elemento]

Brazil got much better with Huertas on the bench. Dude is absolutely horrendous as a decision maker. Hopefully Magnano realizes that puttinhg Hettsheimeir on Nocioni is a terrible idea. Barbosa is too quiet so far. I'm expecting a better game for him in the 2nd half.

[From Downtown]

Scola, Manu and Leandrinho all looking their age today

[From Downtown]

It's hard when the old players are struggling and you have to play Deck

[ElNono]

ARG within reach at the end of the 3rd... gotta play a solid 4th and they can qualify to the next round

[Canyonero]

It's hard when your only good big is Scola.

Great game as usual. Brazil couldn't finish and paid the price in OT. Absolutely outstanding game by Nocioni. GL for the rest of the tournament.

Disappointing for Brazil, but I don't think we had the talent to go much further, especially without Andy and Splitter.

What you mean couldnt finish? It was a fucking choke job, probably the worse of our lifetime since it means we are out of our home olympics and we wont qualify anymore without the big 3

Not fouling on that nocioni 3 is ridiculous, waiting 10 seconds to foul on the last play, not boxing out a bunch of midgets from argentina

That´s right. Even when is absolutely true that he sucked the whole game. He willed that last play and we won. That´s trying until the end so hard, that even sucking, you help your team.

I don't have the numbers but I'm sure Scola has more games with Argentina.

This was his 101 or 102 game, not sure. Most presences for the NT are Scola first and Nocioni.

That´s right. Even when is absolutely true that he sucked the whole game. He willed that last play and we won. That´s trying until the end so hard, that even sucking, you help your team.
He said he sucked himself afer the game, and you could see he was angry because of the way he was playing even during the game, but you know there's ALWAYS a chance he'll make a big play down the stretch no matter how much he'S struggling

If you a man, act like one.

Manu was 4-14 from the floor, 0-8 from three point range including a missed three that would have tied it at the end of regulation and another missed jumper that would have won it at the end of the 1st overtime, 5-10 from the charity stripe and had 4 assists in 39 minutes. The guy does one thing right in the entire game and the entire forum goes goo goo. Gimme a break!
You mean like Parker fans?

[BillMc]

Not so good. Seems slow and out of shape. He has a great height advantage against almost al teams but lithuania so he scores effectivelly, but that´s it.
Still a pussyThanks. Shame he hasn't looked better.

So you not a man. When ElNono (http://www.spurstalk.com/forums/member.php?u=8054) tucks you in at night, be sure to tell him how mean I was to you.

No need to project your homosexuality on others.

Manu has scored in double digits in every Olympic game he's played (apart from the semifinal against USA where he hurt his ankle)

Campazzo will be better and better

The guy is 39 years old and has won everything for us Argentina and Spurs.

What do you want?

He is playing on borrowed time for a few years now.

Most players are limping through the court after their 34 birthday.

The guy is also making 14M at age 39 this season. He might be the highest paid 39 year old in league history. With great wealth comes great responsibility. If he plays like ass, he's going to get ripped on just like Tony Parker does. There's not going to be any double standard. Btw, when people rag on Tony at age 34, keep in mind that he's played well over 10,000 more minutes than Ginobili so while he's 5 years younger, their NBA bodies are roughly the same age.

Did you watch the previous 3 games? Cause he's playing well, today he played like ass (and still scored 13, had 4 assists and found a way to be crucial) but he's been good overall

Oh yeah, because Manu never played before he was 25 years old. Also i don´t think it´s a similar situation than Parker as Tony´s contract expected some level from him, which he did not display, and Manu´s contract is for what he already did.

Congratulations on your 5000 post.

A lot in a Spurs forum for a Cavs fan.

It's a thank you contract, both you and I know he's not going to produce on the court at $14m... it's a well deserved retirement tour, tbh

Are you seriously suggesting that playing overseas is like playing in the NBA? If so, :lol. There are players that get released in the NBA, go overseas and thrive. You can play basketball overseas into your late 40's early 50's and still put up respectable numbers.

Btw, Parker's 3 year extension was based off of past accomplishments/production too. I'm not sure how an organization that prides itself on making smart basketball decisions couldn't see the problem with overpaying for a "past his prime" pg that's game is predicated on speed. Surely, someone in the organization had to know a decline was almost inevitable.

Happy for Pau, but is Lithuania even playing their main guys? I think they're qualified already.

[Diego20]
