Basketball at the 2016 Rio Olympics

The thing is, he made that big play, and that wasn't accident

That´s right. Even when is absolutely true that he sucked the whole game. He willed that last play and we won. That´s trying until the end so hard, that even sucking, you help your team.

I haven't been following Spain, how is Pau looking?

Still a pussy

Not so good. Seems slow and out of shape. He has a great height advantage against almost al teams but lithuania so he scores effectivelly, but that´s it.

Hey Argentina fans/ Argentinians.. How many games has Manu played for Argentina? And what is their win-loss record in those? Also is he the player with the most appearances for the team?

I don't have the numbers but I'm sure Scola has more games with Argentina.

This was his 101 or 102 game, not sure. Most presences for the NT are Scola first and Nocioni.

He said he sucked himself afer the game, and you could see he was angry because of the way he was playing even during the game, but you know there's ALWAYS a chance he'll make a big play down the stretch no matter how much he'S struggling

[RD2191]

If you a man, act like one.

Manu was 4-14 from the floor, 0-8 from three point range including a missed three that would have tied it at the end of regulation and another missed jumper that would have won it at the end of the 1st overtime, 5-10 from the charity stripe and had 4 assists in 39 minutes. The guy does one thing right in the entire game and the entire forum goes goo goo. Gimme a break!

You mean like Parker fans?

Thanks. Shame he hasn't looked better.

So you not a man. When ElNono tucks you in at night, be sure to tell him how mean I was to you.

No need to project your sexuality on others.

[From Downtown]

Manu has scored in double digits in every Olympic game he's played (apart from the semifinal against USA where he hurt his ankle)

[kuato]

Campazzo will be better and better

The guy is 39 years old and has won everything for us Argentina and Spurs.

What do you want?

He is playing on borrowed time for a few years now.

Most players are limping through the court after their 34 birthday.

The guy is also making 14M at age 39 this season. He might be the highest paid 39 year old in league history. With great wealth comes great responsibility. If he plays like ass, he's going to get ripped on just like Tony Parker does. There's not going to be any double standard. Btw, when people rag on Tony at age 34, keep in mind that he's played well over 10,000 more minutes than Ginobili so while he's 5 years younger, their NBA bodies are roughly the same age.

Did you watch the previous 3 games? Cause he's playing well, today he played like ass (and still scored 13, had 4 assists and found a way to be crucial) but he's been good overall

Oh yeah, because Manu never played before he was 25 years old. Also i don´t think it´s a similar situation than Parker as Tony´s contract expected some level from him, which he did not display, and Manu´s contract is for what he already did.

Congratulations on your 5000 post.

A lot in a Spurs forum for a Cavs fan.

I will, tbh

It's a thank you contract, both you and I know he's not going to produce on the court at $14m... it's a well deserved retirement tour, tbh

Are you seriously suggesting that playing overseas is like playing in the NBA? If so, . There are players that get released in the NBA, go overseas and thrive. You can play basketball overseas into your late 40's early 50's and still put up respectable numbers.

Btw, Parker's 3 year extension was based off of past accomplishments/production too. I'm not sure how an organization that prides itself on making smart basketball decisions couldn't see the problem with overpaying for a "past his prime" pg that's game is predicated on speed. Surely, someone in the organization had to know a decline was almost inevitable.

Happy for Pau, but is Lithuania even playing their main guys? I think they're qualified already.

[Diego20]

Lithuania isn't even trying..
