i would NEVER bet against this team... i know it may look bad... but i just can't stop believing...
Manu also mentioned that Chapu was suffering during halftime, but Manu wasn't sure what happened to him. He says that the US team is playing with a lot of courage, and are playing unbelievably well, so it's gonna be a very tough one. Hopefully, Chapu will be well enough for the semis. Manus said that on the court, it's still five-on-five. They've done it before and they'll try to do it again. Manu also said he tried to put a good arc on his last three, but he didn't have any legs left for that.
yes!
Prigioni and Delfino were the best today.
I spent a whole season watching him for the Raptors and he can be so frustrating. Some games he looks amazing, like today, and when he played well, Toronto usually won. Then other games, he is just a chucker shooting up bricks! He picked a good day for a great game.
Your computer would have just froze again at the climax in the end!I am kind of glad my computer froze before I could realize the game had gotten THAT close.
You're just making my point.
Well, don't underestimate the heart of a champion. USA fans are nervous, we wanted Greece. I know, I am one of them. It won't be a blowout. I will not be shocked if Argentina wins to be honest, and it would not be an upset either.
What a game...
I'm so happy for this team, top4 in the last 4 mayor tournaments is HUGE for a country like Argentina.
USA team will destroy us, no dout about it, Nocioni is injured, our bench sans Delfino sucks and our PG is iregular at best... but that won't change how proud they make me feal.
Grats Manu & company, well deserved.
As long as he keeps making half of them, he can shoot all the threes he likes.
I will, since I'm certain they don't exist. I'm picky that way
Great game by Prigioni too!!
Now we have a PG again!!
Bring it team USA,we're not scared,I've been waiting for this game since the vegas Tournament....................
USA is gonna beat them. No doubt.
..and you're full of too........and know that already
We can handle it, like any real mansorry for the upoming beatdown Argentina
"Some defeats are as good as victories"
Scary huh? Never would have expected a post to come from me like that eh?
Lmao I bet. I see now why everyone knocks V-Span.Hey whatever, V-Span is my new hero!
Manu* = Jordan
Spanoulis = yeah I agree with you.
This is exactly what got the USA smoked in 2004. We can blame it on like, 'we didn't get practice together to mold into a team', but did any USA squad before it? No.sorry for the upoming beatdown Argentina
I'm not saying it won't happen, it very well could. But the way USA came into the Australia game, if they do that against Argentina they will find themselves down after the first quarter instead of up by a few.
That's the thing. I admit I haven't seen that many games from him. From the few times though, he seemed like a feast or famine kind of guy. I'm glad he had a feast today. I just hope he and the rest of that bench have a lot more stored.
argie dudes!
it was manumagicallefthand the hater
It was a great game .
I'm not the one throwing around unfounded accusations.
Look at it this way, since you're so sure I posted about Delfino, you now have a prime opportunity to make me look stupid. Find the posts... otherwise, learn when to shut the up.
WHAT A MOTHER IN GAME!!!!
BEST GAME of the year by far!
GINOBILI!!!!!!
Whatever you say. It wasn't nearly as bad of a shot as you're making it out to be. With that much time on the clock you go with the first decent look you get and it happened to be a semi-contested 3 from the top of the key. A drive to the hole doesn't guarantee 2 points or even a better look than the one he got.You're just making my point.
Where's ducks? No props for Manu . . . ?
hey!
it was manumagicallefthand the hater, not you
It's nice to know Argentina gained that kind of respect... but lets be logical for a sec... is almost imposible for THIS argentina team to beat THIS USA team.
Manu is tired (6 games in 12 days), Nocioni is hurted, Prigioni is irregular and will probably get sloppy with the defencive intencity Team USA is showing, Delfino can save you as ez as he can kill you with his shooting, our bench is TERRIBLE, USA team is playing like a real team and is on a mission to show the world they are still the best... I'm missing anything?
I think the odds are easily 100 to 1 agaist Argentina. I really hope I'm wrong tho.
I'll be happy if we lose on a good game and we win the bronze medal vs Spain/Lituania.

Pretty unexpected I must say
Bull aside, what a great game, whether you're an Argie fan, Manu fan or just plain basketball fan. Props to Greece, they put up one of a fight!
tell that to Einstein up there
Oh and very good game too. I was only able to stream the 4th quarter from work but it was by far the most entertaining game I've seen these olympics. The U.S.-Argentina game should be fun
What's the deal with this Papaloukas guy? MVP of this MVP of that.
I watch him out there and he looks like . Supposed to be great defensively as well? Manu made him his on that 2nd last isolation, should of got the call for push in the back as well, but didn't.
