hate this was early, missed it... oh well, guess I didn't miss much...

IIRC, for Argentina now it's either Australia or Team 'Murica, depending on how Lithuania does

[Mikeanaro]

Crappy game, the only thing I wanna know is what team is next in ARG schedule.

Aussies are looking really strong, so impressed by them. If they had a better bench they might challenge for gold. Look out in 2020 when Simmons, Maker and Exum are all entering their primes!

US looks vulnerable - poor squad selection. However, they will probably win the gold unconvincingly (ie by less than 12pts).

Go Lithuania! I'd love the Aussies to play the Argies in the quarters.

[Diego20]

Lithuania trying to lose twice in a row, it's too obvious..

[ElNono]

welp, looks like it's going to be Team USA vs Argentina Wednesday... should be an easy W for 'Murica...

Hopefully Manu doesn't get hurt and he can get some rest until training camp...

Too bad the COI won´t do about Lithuania loosing on purpose twice. We are off so play USA.

Well, if they we are not going to get a medal, the best way to go is to loose against the champion.

[gilmor]

Arg wont even podium in Manu last olympics

[YGWHI]

Arg wont even podium in Manu last olympics

Sadly, Argentina against Spain looked like our bench in OKC series, undersized, old, and slow...

[Diego20]

2012 Spain losing on purpose against Brazil to avoid USA.

2016 Lithuania losing on purpose twice in a row to avoid Serbia and USA.

Don't remember 2008 tho

How does Pau look?
