This is who I'm going for in the Olympics

If France/TP don't have a bounce back game it will be really disappointing. They were a long shot to medal probably, but they have enough talent to compete. It should be a great game on Tuesday and can't wait to see all the Spurs going at it![]()

Just watched the replay because I wasn't able to watch it live. Wow. Manu and the team looked healthy and ready as ever to compete. I think they are gonna steamroll France.
Prigioni,Delfino, Manu, Nocioni,Scola all looked sharp.![]()
France is going to get bukkaked
Don't get ahead of yourselves... Arg looked good, but France also played Team USA, which will make most every team look bad. I also expect Tony to put forth a much better effort, even if he's a little out of shape.
I would be really surprised if that happens.
France talent >>> Argentina's talent.
Yeah, if you consider Shepherd's Pie eating gold medalist Boris Diaw and Nando de Scrublo as talents![]()

Can you pay to watch the Olympic Basketball tournament online anywhere?
Why would you pay if you can watch it for free anyways?
I want to watch different teams' games. Can you watch the games on demand somewhere for free?
yep, here in Argentina we go to terra.com.ar
yes, check your PM!
Manu ting on Parker of course
Explain how France's talent is far superior. They're just about equal at best, and if anything Argentina has better talent.
Manu and Tony cancel each other out
ARG's 2nd best player is Scola, Scola is easily > than FRA's 2nd best
Manu, Scola, and Delfino >>> FRA's top 3 players: TP, Batum, and Diaw (as effective as Scola)
I'm in no way saying Argentina will win this game, both teams have large probabilities of winning this one game. But I have no idea why you think France's talent is far superior than Argentina's. I think they're comparable.
It'll be interesting to see who gets the bronze medal. Nobody's beating Spain for the silver IMO.
Doesn't it depend on what bracket they end up in? or is not possible for Spain to play against Team USA until the final?
I can give you Manu/Tony being a wash and Scola being the third best player on either roster (with Noah out).
But after that, France has a clear advantage in depth and talent.
With Nocioni being all ed up physically and past his prime, Argentina has bassically 4 World class players (Manu, Scola, Prigioni, Delfino) and a bunch of scrubs that try to help. Argentina has rotation players that play in "La liga Nacional de basquet" (a fourth or fifth level league) like Campazzo and the two Gutierrez.
France on the other hand has like 6 or 7 NBA level players.

Would have liked to seen Javtokas play, heard he was injured. We still have his rights, hes big and not all that old.
