    Carlos Arroyo was doing the exact same thing when Puerto Rico beat the USA in 04....he was poppin' his jersey and beatin his chest and all that....nobody called it arrogant, it was just showing pride in his team getting a win, especially against the US.
    Oh but that's different because he not US

    I would like to see Kidd make that pass to a Loaded Argentinian team in the 4rd down by 2.
    If that's the best play available, Kidd will do it.

    And Team USA won't be down in the "4rd" to anybody.

    So tell me what was that pass off the glass from midcourt from Kidd to D.Howard???
    kepp that to the Circus rutine,not international tournaments,where YOU KNOW,your playing nobody.

    It was enthusiasm. Just like when the Argies had one of their 4 pass, ball doesn't hit the floor, beat everyone down the floor for a layups...which were exciting to watch. Just like an alley-oop dunk is.

    Why should the US change their style just because it is perceived by some to be showy, when it reality, its fun basketball that these players grew up with, much like the Argies grew up with their style.

    You're right ArgSpursFan, Team USA should have run the Dean Smith 4-corners once they got bored with throwing down monster dunks on teams.

    Yeah, I'm being facetious, but I it's not the Olympics and I guarantee you that Argentina, Brazil or any other team...if they had a 20 or 30 point lead, wouldn't free style and have some fun when they could. Basketball is still a game that is supposed to be fun.

    A side question here...
    Based on the standings, W/L, etc. it appears to me that the U.S. and Argentina will both finish first and second in the tournment, even if they lose their games tomorrow. Am I correct, or can someone clear this up for me?

    Spurs fans must be confused with this up-tempo game.

    How come our power forward doesn't hold the ball for ten seconds every time down the floor?

    Cuz' that only wins nba les

    So if an Argentine player has a breakaway dunk against the US...you will be upset.

    it won't matter...if the US did win, instead of "Good Game" or "US played well" we would here "they're arrogant"

    So then, exciting, fluid basketball is ok to play, as long as it doesn't offend the Argentines.

    It honestly looked to me as if the defensive game plan was to let Scola get whatever he wants because he was the only player that could cause any damage. That was pretty much the way the game went.

    One thing is for certain, Scola has zero D. He knows how to foul with the best of them, however. Looks like another Thuguardo Najera type to me. Lots of passion, lots of aggression, lots of fouls, not much production.

    According to some of the Argies on this board, dunking is only ok if you are in Sky Blue.
