Starting at 11pm CST on CNBC here in the States.
I started this thread here because Manu and Fabricio are still Spurs, even though there seem to be quite a few ready to trade Manu for a box of Krispy Kreme donuts.
Countless men and women died for my freedom to cheer for whoever the hell I want, so I'm rooting for Argentina to win the Bronze Medal. Anyone who has a problem with that can kiss my red, white and blue ass.
:downspin:
Go Argentina
Someone needs to sit on Manu so he'll stop standing up.
Is ther any links for people outside the US to watch this game?
this game is pretty physical so far
people cut open
hard fouls
and a lot of hard picks
it's raining 3s
Crap, I didn't know this was televised here. Thanks for posting. I hope Oberto and Scola have monster games.
Nocioni for 3!
Scola just got fucking hammered, no call
Argentina up 46-34 at the half
Manu is happy
Damn, Manu can barely walk. He's limping massively just trying to get up and celebrate.
Somebody bring in a couch and strap Manu onto it.

to be honest, it looks like they don't even need him tonight. Argentina is a great team because they'll dish it in the paint and kick it out to the open man. It's been working so far. Make you wonder what game plan they would've had vs. the US if Manu was injured vs. Greece.Quote:

Manu has no air boot or cast on. Might bee wrapped up under his jeans but nothing that sticks out
he is going to have to have surgeryQuote:

Scola has lost a lot of weight. He used to be chubby. Now he's a well oiled machine.
:pctoss
Damn, sure would have sucked to have Scola putting that last move on the Lakers in the WCF.
So he can pull an Oden and be out the whole season? :bangQuote:

Manu is so happy. :lol Best cheerleader!
Nocioni Is a STUD in one leg :elephant
No. The Argies beating him up. It's pretty embarrassing, actually.Quote:

Manu in the pic
Awesome steal
hmm interesting. They just showed Tom James in the crowd. I wonder if he's been here the whole time? Manu got a little too excited with that dunk
Game over. Congrats to Argentina for medaling.
He's acting like he's playing and just dunked on three people. :lol I'm glad he's happy. I wish he'd sit though.
I hear Agrentina is leading big, What's the score?
Said on the bench
Manu: Terrific Chapu! (props to Nocioni)
Someone: we just killed them :hat
68-47
They should have never lost to this team. If they had pulled their heads from their asses in the first game they could have had silver and maybe Manu wouldn't have injuried his bum ankle. Woulda, coulda, shoulda.
Thanks.Quote:

Damn impressive :tu
Lithuania 49Quote:

Manu seems ok. He's not limping badly like he was at halftime. Plus him not having a boot or crutches signals to me that this injury isn't as bad as we think.
It was Nocioni : "we will kill them" :ihitQuote:

Delfino 333333333333333333333 :D
They just said Manu talked to Pop right after getting hurt. I'd pay good money to hear that convo.
:lol :cry
You think it was anything like the conversation Pop had with Tony Parker in game 6 of the 03 Lakers series when he fouled Fisher on a three point shot?Quote:

Manu call and Pop was very supportive but ask him to go back to SA yesterday and Manu says "no, i will stay here for one more day for the bronze medal game." and Pop was agree.Quote:

Bronze medal is for pussies....just ask Lebron, who is going for gold in a few short hours!

if so, maybe somehow manu persuaded Delfino to take that offer with the Spurs, Oberto just got a nice block
Huge Block By Oberto
wow, thats the only time I've ever liked something Oberto has done
Shit Manu! Stop jumping on one leg!

Pop just downed 10 bottles of wine watching Manu jump around.
Holy shit for real? I'm staying up!Quote:

Dammit Manu, stop doing that.
Awesome to see Argentina so excited to win it.
Congrats to Team Argentina on the bronze. Kind of sad this could be the last time we get to see this team together.
congrats to Manu, Scola, Oberto, Noci, Delfino, Gonzo, and the rest of the Argentina team
Okay people....stop posting b/c I'm making a forum run....got damn near every forum section covered!
congrats Argies, looks like this might be the end of your Olympic run, but good job.
It would have been awesome to see Manu play agains the US. Fuck I think Argentina would give them a run for their money.
Ole, Argentina!
Pop: "Hello?"Quote:

Great accomplishment, Argentina :tu
Backing up a gold medal with a bronze medal proves there was no fluke involved. Winning bronze with Manu injured and Nocioni banged up was very impressive. Bronze in this tournament is nothing to be ashamed about.
History will see this group of Argentines as one of the best international teams in basketball history. This team will undoubtedly be enshrined in the Basketball Hall of Fame.
BTW Scola is bad ass.
Congrats Argentina well deserved!! :toast
