USA vs Argentina Official Game Blog

[V-2]

They're past their prime, Oberto at least because Wolkowyski had never had one.

[spurschick]

Are they show in it on TV?

I can't find it.

ESPN!

It's not listed on my digital cable guide, but the nba.com listing says it will be televised on ESPN2. I can't seem to get into the espn guide online, so I can't check to see if it's there. http://sports.espn.go.com/espntv/espnGuide

[V-2]

I think they said 6:30 ET on Saturday morning during the US-Greece game.

Chrish Bosch showed some aggression and assertion I hadn't seen before.
Could he be finally turning into a full-blown Mr. Franchise? 4th year in NBA? sounds about right.

Will be interesting to see if Mitc can pull the Raptors together.

It doesn't even sound like Argentina is really all that motivated to play tommorow against the USA.

I hope that people understand, that nothing protests to us
Emanuel Ginóbili For the NATION SAITAMA. - We made a great party, we were able to take the game to where we wanted, we obtained a closed end, we had the shot to win and one did not occur us. If it entered, now we would be festejando. That we are very sad, by all means bitter and to quarrel, but in básquetbol these things happen. If the last shot enters, you are going away to festejar: if it does not enter, podés not to sleep and hurts to you for a long time. I believe that both we made very well our work: they defending hard, closing themselves in the painting and treating to be unbalanced inside; we taking advantage of the spaces in the perimeter that they gave us and did not let them run. Both we fulfilled ours. For that reason it was an even and fought party until the end. In the last two minutes, when we were down in the tanteador, it was necessary to leave to kill or to die. For that reason we played so many one against one. Thus we arrived at last the second even ones. In the last ball of them the idea was to cut them with lack so that they had to go to the line of free and we to have the last ball. That way in NBA defendés that ball and buscás the equality. We decided to risk and he came out to us well, only whom the last shot did not enter. The idea was that I looked for the one against one, but knew beforehand that it was going it to have to happen because they always defend with four down. So when I was for the hoop and I saw that all were closed to me I looked for Chapu. The options were Chapu or Pepe, that was going to be open in the ends, free, because they were not going to be able to arrive with the defense. The tactical one was good because Pepe and Chapu have good shots, but did not enter. Equal, I am proud reason why we did. We did not need anything, except that triple. But already I said it: in básquetbol it happens followed very. Now, the motivations to fight by the bronze are not many, at least in my case. The truth is that I have desire to go me to my house. It is not the same to be there to fight by gold to the 48 hours that to play 24 by the bronze. Eye, that way later I think another thing, but you are emotionally not prepared and is a very complicated party. That way, for years, if we lost with the United States or Serbia and Montenegro a semifinal, to the other day we were to plenary session to fight by the third position, but now the blow hurts more, it has been different. We had the end there, within reach. To that it is necessary to add the wearing down and the bitterness to him. It is not going to be easy. I hope that people understand, that nothing protests to us. I believe that this group has gained the respect in spite of this and they go that is to say to understand to us.

so what's the game plan for tonight? who do you think shld guard Manu. I'm asking bec there's another Argentinian who is playing so great lately-Nocioni and the US team clearly has "limited" resources in playing perimeter defense

[angel_luv]

I think the US will lose. Carmelo is the only one playing with heart and he threw his lost Bronze medal in the ocean, so I don't think he wants another one.

Did he really?

I am staying up to watch Argentina win the bronze so they had better.

Did he really?

DENVER—Denver Nuggets star Carmelo Anthony is featured in an underground DVD that is circulating in his home town of Baltimore, Md.

The DVD is called “Stop Snitching” and shows alleged drug dealers talking about what happens to people who cooperate with the police, and Anthony is standing next to one of them.

He is also seen on the DVD talking about his Olympic bronze medal and saying that he threw it in a lake. The man he stands next to later goes on to tell how he would take care of snitches by “putting a hole in their head.” However, Anthony does not appear to be taking part in that portion of the discussion.

The DVD is produced by an alleged drug dealer named Skinny Shuge.

Carmelo’s agent, Calvin Andrews, told 7SPORTS that Carmelo did not know he would be in the video.

“I don’t think he ever knew that this was going to be on a DVD and, if he did, I don’t think he would ever get involved with it or have any affiliation with it at all,” said Andrews.

Andrews said that Anthony grew up on the streets of Baltimore, where murders and drug deals happen often, but he doesn’t expect a lot of people to understand that type of environment.

“I just think he was hanging out with some guys that he probably knew growing up and was just hanging out … They got to talking and the last thing he was going to do is run away from it, so he just hung out with the guys. The last thing he thought is that it would be a production—a DVD selling in the streets,” Andrews said.

Anthony said he doesn’t remember taking part in such a discussion and doesn’t know how the DVD came about.

Baltimore police said that there appears to be nothing illegal in the video, although some people in the video are wanted for allegedly dealing drugs. The NBA said a response was unnecessary because there’s no apparent NBA or team violation.

Since then I believe he denied that he threw it in the lake and says that he has it put away in a safe or something.

Thanks for the article, Kori.

I hope he kept it... someday he may wish he had.

[milkyway21]

winning a bronze is a prize possession.

he might be angry with that one because he didn't play much and got benched one time.

well, if he threw his Olympic Bronze he might want to do the same with this one if they win. This is just the WC.

[carina_gino20]

in how many minutes does the game start?
