Westchuck hurt
This is what's supposed to look like... which is always a great reminder of how special 2004 was... That 2004 US team wasn't anywhere near as good as this Team USA, but they were still pretty stacked.
Westbrook going to the locker room, limping
USA destroyed Argentina just like they will destroy Spain.
Knicks never have big leads TBH
Gonna beat Spain worse, TBH.
Argentina will gladly take a Bronze medal if it can beat Russia...
no doubt... this Argentina team as old as it is, probably gave them the biggest fight...
Argentina really wants a medal. Sunday will be a big game for them
The fatherland 'Murrcah shall triumph
Give Manu a decent team and they've got a chance.
Spain is the only team that can bother USA with their size but it shouldn't be enough to win the gold.
For the bronze medal, I'm torn about who to root for. Argentina is an amazing team with Manu but Russia deserves a lot of credit and they have a great classy coach.
Russia can win it next time, tbh... The next Argentina game is officially the end of an era in international basketball, and I hope they can walk away the way they deserve it, in the podium with a medal...
I agree, I hope Argentina gets the win. It'll be the end of a great era in basketball.
Go Argentina and I hope Team USA destroys Spain.
Go Argentina and the end of a great era of international bball for them. Just don't go out like little es aka Team FranceSorry, just saw Batum's replay again....dude must work out with Bynum

F you.... I like Manu though but they had no shot in this game. yeah, what a great team for many years! They got respect.
Manu quotes after the game:
About the game
- "One always have small hope, but we had no chance. When they get inspired, they make you pay and it gets complicated".
About the 2004 victory
- "They don't even know what happened in 2004, even though LeBron and Carmelo were there. Truth is they want the gold. If you ask them, they probably didn't know they lost against us. They have a great team and incredible talent, a different mentality".
About the next game against Russia
- "We can easily lose, but we're going to give it the importance it deserves. They're not a lot better or a lot worse than us. For us, Bronze is like Gold"
About the compe ion
- "We know Spain and USA are better, I'm not ashamed to say it. Bronze is the ceiling, it's just the reality of this team, and we have to put our heads up and fight"
Hopefully ARG wins the bronze
Manu simply deserves it !

Manu is such a classy guy as well as talented. We have been blessed to have him as a Spur.
This group from Argentina has such a great history they deserve to go out with a medal.
