Nene - contractual and personal problems
Barbosa - injuried
Varejao - injuried
Larry Taylor - problems with citizenship
Maybe, but I don't believe... would be idiot not call this guys... Brazil would be much better with them, the olympic level is higher, so we need that guys.
That's what the president of CBB said to Lance last night. He did say though that it was ultimately a decision Magnano would make.Maybe, but I don't believe... would be idiot not call this guys... Brazil would be much better with them, the olympic level is higher, so we need that guys.
If anything, the team knows they don't need them as badly. So they're going to have to tune down the egos, and come in and fit on a team that's a winner already.
yeah I know, but the president don't have the final voice... Magnano will take the right choice... We can't miss the chance to play with our best players, would be idiot do this.
I don't think so
Nene and Barbosa are good people, they knows how to play for the team, especially Nene, and they're not like Iverson...
Barbosa was a black hole last time he played with Brasil though. Not saying they're bad people, but sometimes they think they need to take over.I don't think so

yes he was, but that was ordained by coaches... if he plays natural would be a great addition, he's an open mental player.
I think he would accept his role position on team... just this... in my opinion like I said...
now I've to go, good night!
did Manu break his nose again? He probably needs to do something about it
I think that the Brazilians players who play on the NBA should be invited to the team, but I don't believe Nene will play for brazil again.
Some players took a lot of criticism when brazil finished the game against Dominican Republic. Some guy on ESPN was saying that he thinks the players who are on the team right now deserve to stay on the team, he even thanked nene for not going because that opened an opportunity to Rafael to step up his game. But I think these players are free to do whatever they want.
And Manu was amazing against Puerto Rico! But unfortunately I couldn't watch the game yesterday.
Manu has been quite during last night game. The clear mvp of Argentina and the tournament is with no doubt Scola. Great game yesterday for him.
Brazil has a very good generation coming but they need everybody in particular Nene to be a force.
I was quite disapointing by Splitter, Scola killed and toyed him all night long.
Edit: misread it.
Yeh I agree. Scola is a boss.
He needs surgery.did Manu break his nose again? He probably needs to do something about it
Doing a final in a tournament like that is kinda pointless. It should be either a Olympic qualifying tournament without a final or a true continental tournament with the USA. Argentina getting a trophy and being called " FIBA Americas Champions" is laughable.
Not ARG's fault, tbh. Also not sure FIBA didn't invite the US to participate. IIRC, rumors a while back were that the US was going to send some mix of college/NBA team.
I never said it was.
I was expecting a lot more from Splitter too.
In offense he did what we could expect but his defense has been awful against Scola, just awful: he shot something like 9/12 against him. I found him slow, late, not well positionned. Brazil was better with him on the bench, big disapointment.I was expecting a lot more from Splitter too.
It is not Argentina´s fault that USA decided not to participate.
They were invited not only by FIBA but also by the Argentine federation.
With the lockout in progress, though, it would probably cost Team USA an arm and a leg to insure contracts, and they probably didn't want to send a college team.
Once again, I never said it was Argentina's fault.
Even if they have nothing to do with it, winning a continental le in a tournament where the best team of the continent wasn't playing is weird. If FIBA America wanted to have a tournament with some kind of credibility, they should have forced USA to bring a team.
So, in short, Argentina beat Brazil in a 1-game series. The rest is irrelevant.
