Scola is playing at MVP level. He and Argentina will own IMO.
We have a nice Brazil - Argentina this tuesday in FIBA World championship
Who will play the better ?

Scola is playing at MVP level. He and Argentina will own IMO.
My gut tells me Brazil will get the upset.
I expect Scola to score more pts that game, just because of how Argentina uses Scola compared to how Brazil uses Splitter
Alright, should be a good game.![]()
Uh probably Scola, haven't seen anything from Splitter yet.
Scola is a great FIBA player. He should do well unless he chokes like he always did in Europe.
And I damn hope Argentina will loose. While I like most of their player, I have an illogical pure hate for Prigioni. I can't root for a team where he plays.Without him, I would have root for Argentina.
I take it we're going to have to find this game online huh?
They were teammates and are best friends. I am sure both are very familiar with guarding each other. awesome matchup
There's also the Ruben Magnano angle. Argentina's coach from 2004 coaching against his nation's team.
i would like argentina to win the game. mostly b/c the winner may have to play 2-3 more games for either 5th spot, 3rd spot or the championship. i prefer splitter to have an extra week of break before reporting to training camp. we already saw him do well vs. usa
this man knows his .
We need Tiago back asap. Plus, Spurs need to fly under the radar...
Not really an upset, tbh.
Kristic guarded him today and he scored 32.
The game will be close but Barbosa will wind up shooting and missing fade away 3's, and bricking wide open shots as always, Argentina will win.
Till Tuesday?? uh what if something happens to me like if my girl friend cheated on me for some black guy. And i get emotinal depresson. Then i call my uncle from Mexico who from the Mexican Cartel then they kill her and the black guy in his meth lab. Then the police knock on my door one morning and i get freaked out and i open the door and the cops tell me that i parked in a handicap spot and at first i thought they were looking for me cause of my girl friend. knowing my uncle, that his ppl are trained professionals for disappearing corps. ahh what if all this happend thuesday?
great that the two teams meets!!
it's like the best rivalry there is in sport between two countries, also very interesting match up.
you know whats so strange is i feel the same way about him he makes you hate his team!!! i think its his presence or something about his expressions but i dont know why i hate the guy, shoot just last week i was so curious as to who that guy was that irritated me everytime i saw him play and guess who! prigioni !!! yep thats why i know who your talking about. him and ginobili i have to say were amazing though
maybe similar reaction mexicans have towards Tony Parker
Not looking so good for Splitter 3 years ago. Nene got hurt and Varejao never played. Probably a good idea to put Varejao on Scola.

Seriously, a box score from 3 yrs ago...I have no doubt scola will score more pts than Tiago and I am pretty sure argentina will also win the game. But a box score from 3 yrs ago, seriously...![]()
I think Brazil will win. Argentina has been basically playing at times very lazy and the coaching has been inexistent. They play to the compe ion's level, like to get in some hole and then scrap back. Happened with Serbia today and they just couldn't crawl out of it.
They're a very talented team, even more talented than Brazil, I believe. But Prigioni is not Sanchez, and more importantly Hernandez is a pretty subpar coach. Unless Scola and Delfino both go off or Brazil has an off night, I think Brazil will move on, and it might be a good wakeup call for Argentina. You can't half-ass it against good teams.
My bad. Sorry I shared information.
Will the Tuesday game be televised? What time / channel will it be?
That should be a good matchup and game to watch.
