Holy crap! what a finish!

It was great hearing from Manu. You could really see the relief, and his answer speaks volumes of what matters to him.

[ArgSpursFan.]

whatever,now you're gonna have to kiss his ass anyways

Holy crap, what an end.

They're not reshowing it. How much time was left when Manu shot that 3? Seems a bad shot.

he just said in his post game interview that "it probably wasn't the best shot but he tried to put a lot of arc on it to take some more time off the clock and he knew Oberto would be in the lane to try and get the rebound"

[Walton Buys Off Me]

Manu getting tired; 13 of 17 FGA today were threes.

Seriously, what the are you talking about?? Either make it clear, or shut the up.

P.S. By the way jackass, you owe me a change of nickname, avatar and le!

Can you summarize what he said? I couldn't get to a t.v.

[Brutalis]

Manu will take some hits for that 3 with 10 seconds to go. But you can't pass up an open shot even if it's a 3. Plus the shot clock was 2 seconds till a turnover.

V-Span showed who he was jacking a 3 going for the win. He tried to be superman and totally failed himself, his team, coaches, and entire Greece. The selfishness of that passing up an opportunity to get a 2 pointer and send it to OT was disgraceful. He could have drove and drawn the foul at least and sent it to OT with free throws.

Just pathetic.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

I totally love that Argentine team... onya, Southern Brothers!

[carina_gino20]

They won!
They just showed Many in the crowd.

Was she that girl in the crowd they showed that was cheering?

[MaNuMaNiAc]

I don't know what to say right now.

Unbelievable game.

These months of rooting against Argentina, and hoping they lose, well.. I was on my feet in front of the TV going nuts..

Manu Ginobili is just amazing. He is the world's best all around player. Better than LBJ, Kobe, and anyone on the USA squad considering these international rules.

How about that clutch 3 in the last few minutes?

That sensational block...

Then that crazy ass flip layup.....

I'm a changed person. All this Parker vs Manu stuff is bunk now.

I root for USA to stomp him and Argentina. But Manu simply just cannot be stopped. He is unbelievable. And I am going to grab some of his rookie cards now, because they are going to sky rocket once he retires and is inducted into the Hall.

Ginobili is the best player in the world.

wow, if I didn't know any better I'd say you were an Argie. Anyway, you just pretty much described what I was doing during the game.

[urunobili]

they just showed the doctors working on Nocioni's leg/knee that is not a good sign, if they want any chance against Greece and USA he needs to be healthy

Ginobili with the monster block!

Delfino on fire! 18 point in a row him alone

Manu with the dagger!
ARG up 5

Jesus! I can't believe that 3 went in

Manu missed a 3 with 10 seconds left, then Spanoulis took the rebound and ball hogged until he shot a contested 3 with 1 second left and he missed.

They won!
They just showed Many in the crowd.

now Nocioni, Manu, Delfino, Prigioni, Oberto, Scola get some rest!!!

Ginobili is the best player in the world.

[Brutalis]

Man, Delfino and Manu were like Gods in that final quarter. And how about those Greeks raining 3s?! What a game!

Glad to hear you've joined us in the Church of Manu, Brutalis.

You still need to PM me for winning the Bogut card. List me 5 of your fav NBA players and you'll get a bonus card since I'm in such a good mood. PM your addy.

Can you summarize what he said? I couldn't get to a t.v.

they asked him if he had anything hidden inside of his jersey and he said "passion" he also said "that it is a great feeling to play for his country, and it helped him get through this game(his legs were tired)"

[carina_gino20]

Well, Angel, a great part of my prayer in that last quarter, was that no one would get hurt. That was one close game. I don't usually like Delfino's style, but damn! he exploded just when they needed it.

I am kind of glad my computer froze before I could realize the game had gotten THAT close.

It wasn't even a bad shot he took. With that much time left you don't know if you'll get a better look than that, regardless if he had taken a 2 point shot or not.

[AnotherArgie]

Holy , I'm crying.

Too bad we're facing USA, it sucks to know this team can only get bronze at best.

[angel_luv]

Delfino was amazing! He did himself, the team, and his country proud.

I am so happy for Argentina. Great, great win.

Hey whatever, V-Span is my new hero! if he hadn't done that, we could very well have lost. Greece must be pissed at him right about now...

Thanks!

[ploto]

What a great game to watch! Very happy for Manu and Carlos.

[MI21]

Delfino = Jordan

Spanoulis = Steve Francis

[ArgSpursFan.]

Seriously, what the are you talking about?? Either make it clear, or shut the up.
