Delfino's one of those players that needs his first couple shots to go down to be effective. Game was great, probably the best of the tournament (didn't see Spain/china)

Anyone has a link to this game? I missed a portion of it in the beginning. (Don't bother with the NBC, I can't view it :?) any other link would be great.

Close ending, was pretty exciting to watch @ the end.

No, Detroit AND Toronto didn't screw him. He's just an average NBA player and would be better off in the Euroleague.

i lost $95 on that banked three by greece.....the line was at +4

Apart from that did anyone else think manu nearly blew it with that early three with 10 on the clock...

and that greece should've driven before the defense was set to draw a foul on that last play?? that three attempt was stupid.

They were really letting them play so I wouldn't bet on the refs making a foul call to make or break the game. And it's Spanoulis, I mean c'mon, I love the guy but everybody knew he was going to go for the win. It's just who he is, but I hoped someone else would have taken it because he was off all game. Maybe Papaloukas or Vasilopolous because he was feeling it.

Anyway I look forward to Argentina v USA, but Argentina needs to play like they played v Greece for it to be competitive. Delfino needs to find his stroke early and Nocioni needs to be healthy. Obviously USA is still the favorite but I don't expect another blowout. USA by 12 with a 30+ effort from Ginobli.

Delfino's game reminded me of Kareem Rush in the WCF vs Minny a couple of years back.
I dont think I'll see Delfino ever shoot as well as he did again.

Greece moved away from the pick and roll for a while and that cost them, Argentina really didnt stop Tsartsaris.

Manu shot awesome as well, but you expect that, he was in playoff form where he gets hot from downtown
