What time and channel = Argentina vs. NZ????

[ALVAREZ6]

:wtf


I can't believe how fucking unorganized TV fucking is, al lthe TV schedules/guides list different times, channels, for every game. These fuckers can't get their shit straight and display when a fucking game is. It's the fucking WCOB, elimination games, and they can't fucking tell you when and what channel the game is on, if it's on at all. Motherfuckers.

And enough with the NBATV shit, these fucks need to have the games on regular cable.


Sorry for the rant, but I'm sick of this, I've only watched 1 Argentina game this year, and it was the second half, and it was recorded.

This is a good start. Whining always works

we don't have FSN in Philly, we have CSN (comcast).

[spurschick]

I agree, although it's obvious from the amount of media and the problems they've had with their web site that international basketball is coming more popular and I think that FIBA has opened it's eyes to that. Depending how ratings are, perhaps ESPN2 will adjust their schedule to show more of the games from the WC and, hopefully, NBC will have their shit together enough to have all of the games televised in Beijing in 2008.

[ALVAREZ6]

In Athens 2004, they showed every single game, either on MSNBC or CNBC or one of the NBC's. But it was clear when and on what channel, and what teams were on.



2 years later, these fuckers have regressed. I don't get it.

yea, that's because Athens was the Olympics. A much bigger deal around here than the World Basketball Championships.

[SuperManu!!!]

For the ones who are in argentina, the games is on TyC Deportes or Channel 7 (ex ATC) at 10 PM

[spurschick]

Not that it helps right now, but I think that the WCs in Turkey in 2010 will get more attention, especially if more international players are brought to the NBA.

[spurschick]

fiba.com is slower than ever... would anyone actually watching the game please give a score update from time to time?

[ploto]

This game is on CCTV-5 from China for those who want to watch it. CCTV-5 is available on PPStream (much better choice)

Or you can connect to the site directly here by choosing China and scrolling down to CCTV-5 (sometimes not very good connection directly):

What really pisses me off sometimes is they are showing fucking Darts or some other BS instead more watchable games like WCOB.

My TV guide says there will be a game at 12 am on ESPN2, so it could be that game or a replay of some US game.

[MaNuMaNiAc]

20 - 14 three pointers keeping NZ in

[spurschick]

I'll update as often as I can

Thanks!

And I think that the game on ESPN2 later tonight is US vs. Australia

[MaNuMaNiAc]

30 sec left in first Arg 21 - 16 NZ

[kolko]

End of first quarter

Argentina 21 - New Zealand 16

[MaNuMaNiAc]

Argentina is shooting almost no threepointers, and making dumb turnovers

[NuGGeTs-FaN]

alvarez......check ur PM

[spurschick]

they're finally getting the stats on the site... Fabri with 11? Sweet. Now if everyone else would get involved.

[MaNuMaNiAc]

NZ is doing a better job of defending the paint

[MaNuMaNiAc]

Arg can't hit a three to save its life

[MaNuMaNiAc]

7:15 second qrt 24 - 18

[spurschick]

Arg can't hit a three to save its life


:lol They shot them all in the first round.

[SuperManu!!!]

26 - 18 5:50

[MaNuMaNiAc]

Man the refs aren't cutting any breaks

[MaNuMaNiAc]

Arg 28 - 23 NZ again, threes keeping NZ in

[spurschick]

Call me crazy, but Fabri is the high scorer so far... maybe he should be on the court?

[MaNuMaNiAc]

Manu with the fade away and-1

[MaNuMaNiAc]

2:07 left in second 35 - 26

[TMTTRIO]

Ginobili had an awesome spin move basket and one

[spurschick]

Guess it took him a minute to wake up...

[kolko]

Halftime

Argentina 37 - New Zealand 29

[Spurologist]

Manu with the fade away and-1

that was nice. Manu actually backed down his opponent and posted up. Then turned an hit a nice fade away banker off the glass.

NZ shooting keeping them afloat for the time being. Kirk Penney is a nice player.

[MaNuMaNiAc]

end of first half Argentina 37 - 29 NZ

[MaNuMaNiAc]

Our inability to hit the three right now is costing us the double digit lead, not to mention NZ zone D is a bitch

[SuperManu!!!]

that was nice. Manu actually backed down his opponent and posted up. Then turned an hit a nice fade away banker off the glass.


Yup, he moved just like duncan uses to move. Also he is making a lot of teardrop shots. It seems manu learned the best from all the spurs

[spurschick]

Chapu needs to score

[Spurologist]

0-10 3 pt fgs for Arg. The vbookie gods have answered my call. Under 21 gets the job done.

[MaNuMaNiAc]

Chapu needs to score
yeah Chapu isn't being his usual dominating self

[spurschick]

These guys just can't drag their butts up for a morning game

[spurschick]

Not so fast now... I'm still hoping for a run in the second half. :hat

[MaNuMaNiAc]

its hilarious how many times Oberto misses his first shot and then puts back the rebound. Dude has got probably 8 of his 9 rebounds out his own misses.

[SuperManu!!!]

Oberto keeps missing shots, but always grab the offensive rebound...if he could dunk, he would be a great player

[Cherry]

35---51

[Obstructed_View]

Rodman used to do that when he was here, but he did it intentionally to increase his rebounding numbers.

[spurschick]

:elephant There's that run I was hoping for! Keep it up guys!

No offense to NZ_Spurs. :spin

[MaNuMaNiAc]

4 left in third 53 - 37 Arg

[MaNuMaNiAc]

man I'm serious now, we couldn't hit a three to cure world hunger :lol I think its 0 of 12 or something

[spurschick]

Damn, I hope this means that Chapu's going to open a can of whoopass for the next game.

[SuperManu!!!]

Now NZ will start the 3point bombardment to see if they can save the game

[carina_gino20]

is there an audio streaming in english of this?

[Spurologist]

who is chapu?

[spurschick]

Nocioni

[TMTTRIO]

Well now when Manu said that they hated morning games he wasn't kidding :lol. They all look asleep.

[MaNuMaNiAc]

end of third, Arg 59 - NZ 44

[spurschick]

I'd like to see Scola come in for the 4th quarter

[MaNuMaNiAc]

thank god NZ isn't hitting their threes either, or we'd be even right now

[carina_gino20]

stats?

[spurschick]

stats?

Manu has 20, Fabri has 15, Scola has 8

[carina_gino20]

good thing argentina is active on the boards. 0/13 in 3pt is really shitty..:lol

[SuperManu!!!]

This was supposed to be a 3pointer game....

[Cherry]

63--48

[MaNuMaNiAc]

Oberto and-1

[spurschick]

Fabri has a double-double

[smeagol]

The three Spurs are the top scorers for Argentina

Manu: 22
Fabricio: 19
Scola: 10

[BigVee]

time and score, please.

[spurschick]

why am I starting to get nervous?

[MaNuMaNiAc]

If we go through this kind of fry spell against the US or Spain we are so fucked its not even remotely funny. 0 of 16 threes http://spurstalk.com/forums/images/smilies/smidepressed.gif

[spurschick]

time and score, please.
I've got 67-55 with 5 minutes left, but my updates are slow

[SuperManu!!!]

Man Manu always hits shots at the right time :lol

[MaNuMaNiAc]

Manu AND-1

[spurschick]

Man Manu always hits shots at the right time :lol

That's why we love him! :elephant

[smeagol]

Manu grabbing the game by the balls!

[carina_gino20]

[spurschick]

6% from 3-pt land? Hell, I could shoot 6% from 3-pt land. :lol

[carina_gino20]

[MaNuMaNiAc]

EDIT: Short lived http://spurstalk.com/forums/images/smilies/smilol.gif

[Spurologist]

Doesn't Argentina know that it is very disrespectful to lead by 21+ pts against a team.

[Cherry]

BANZAI! :elephant

[spurschick]

Couldn't save the vbookie, but got the win... guess I can't complain.

[carina_gino20]

79-62 is the final score?

[Spurologist]

i'm 'watching' the game thru the cctv5 streaming and because it keeps on buffering, all i see are the insignificant dribblings..:lol

ppstream is the best. I have never had to buffer. The others are garbage.

Argentina got its respect back and earned me some vbookie. Nice

[carina_gino20]

angel_luv would love a slov-arg matchup.. :lol but of course, one of them has to go.

[angel_luv]

Congrats Gino, Fabri, and Argentina. :D

[manu]

They Aint Showing It In Espn2!!!!
Instead "the Contender" Is On

Which Is Weird Becuase It Says On The Tv Guide That They're Supossed To Be Showing "fiba Basketball Game"

So Wtf!!!! Espn2?!!! Wtf!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Spurologist]

If US isn't playing ESPN won't be broadcasting shit.

[cheguevara]

Fuck The Mother Of The Espn Motherfucker Who Said Fiba Games Was Gonna Be On At 12am.....

[Obstructed_View]

Fuck The Mother Of The Espn Motherfucker Who Said Fiba Games Was Gonna Be On At 12am.....
I agree. I made a batch of peach ice cream and sat down to watch the half recorded game so I could ff through the commercials, and there's this stupid reality show on. The show is as lame as the fake boxing match they had on ESPN a couple of weeks ago.

Anyone actually know when the games are scheduled? I'll look for a thread.

[Kori Ellis]

Here's one schedule but it doesn't say which round of 16 games are televised (looks like 4 of the 8 games).

http://www.nba.com/wbc06/schedule.html

I know all the USA games are on live.

[cheguevara]

ive given up on TV. someone knows where the games will be streamed? please PM me

[themvp]

http://www.tvmix.net/

[orhe]

hmm did i win the vbookie?? :D

[GINNNNNNNNNNNNOBILI]

Anyone know when this game will be shown on NBATV??

[boutons_]

"on NBATV??"

I rolled forward thru the on-TV-screen schedule and almost no WC time slots are defined with teams.

[spurschick]

I don't think this game is going to be replayed

[Man In Black]

You can't replay it if you never showed it.

TV Programming Fuckers!!!
