Argies have some decent Young bigs. Not NBA level yet, but they have bright future.

Brazil should coast to the end now... they were the clear favorites, so no surprises in this game
That Neto kid for Brazil can shoot
22 years old, coming to warm the Jazz bench.Quote:

As expected.
Too much size difference, also a scrub like Neto playing like an all star was not counted. And the refs did help a bit by calling some silly fouls on some Argentina key players.
Raulzinho is a scrub?
Please, no more Huertas starting.. guy is a cancer on defense
Magnano made the Varejao starting adjustment.. now make the Raul starting adjustment
Huertas vs Teodosic would be hilarious
lol Lamas just quit as the coach

Argentina did what was expected, tbh... missing the team captain, two of the best players and their emotional leader... too much to overcome by a team long past their prime...
underperformed? these dinosaurs are lucky to even be competitive
Nocioni still plays? :lol are you shittin me???
Manu would have made ZERO difference btw
Plus Brazil is finally playing up to their potential... that's a team that always had, more or less, the talent, but were poorly coached... landing Magnano was huge for them.
Now the expectations are much higher...
The best part: Magnano had balls to put Raul Neto and keep that fucking Huertas out of the game. He is a huge hole in defense.
So Scola is officially washed up. Can't believe that Prigi was actually Argentina's best player (ty Huertas). Raul Neto was a beast today and he has been a pleasant surprise this tournament. I really liked Andy's game as well.
Now Brazil has a hard task against Serbia. They destroyed the KPB brothers.
I can't get over how bad Brazil's back court is. How on Earth can their bigs get 11 of 16 assists? If they even had a decent set of guards, they'd be top three or four in the world.
Lamas failed in building a good team rotation, Nocioni and Scola were already wasted on the half time, I can't even speak about Gutierrez... Campazzo was so irregular in the last games, but I liked how the "B" team played though,
Huertas plays and was developed in Spain, as Raul Neto and Rafa Luz. Larry was a d-league caliber who got the brazilian citizenship to have a chance to play as an international. As I said before, brazilian coaches can't develop shit.Quote:

Brazil is already top4 in my books...5th in Olympics (we faced our boogie monster early, any other team and I like our chances), now we are better and opposition seems worseQuote:
