An anticipated final. USA vs Argentina, what a great game!!!
Good luck USA, you have an increible roster, but we have a team who has won the gold medal and have been playing together for many years.
It will be an awsome match, no doubt. It will be the second time I will suffer Dwight playing against me, but I would enjoy the feeling if we beat him. Love and hate, you know, the same thing haha. I love basketball I will enjoy every dunk he makes.

Let's talk! 8-)

By "me", you mean "them", and by "them" you mean "us", and by "us" you mean Argentina, and by Dwight you mean Dwight. Right?

He's really Ginobili.

U.S. by 20+.
Argentina had the luck today against Greece (couldn't miss a damn 3) and we still almost came back to win (damn Spanoulis picked a horrible time to have a bad game).
Argentina relies WAY too much on the 3 (like Australia) and you're royally screwed when it doesn't drop. You'll go dead cold against the U.S.

I watched the game this morning and came away thinking that Greece outplayed them, but Argentina just hit an absurd amount of 3s. The ones Delfino was hitting were just stupid. If he shoots like that again, I'd be stunned.

However, they're still very good, so you just never know.

USA 96
Argentina 83

haha

ANGER IS POSSESING YOUUUU!!!
You are underrating Argentina. We are not playing like for years ago, maybe we had some luck, maybe not, it's basketball, some inches can change your future.
Scola and Delfino are doing a great job,Nocioni,Ginobili,Oberto are old dogs. they have won a lot of tournaments together, the know each other, you just can't buy experience.
I'm not saying USA can't beat Argentina by 20, maybe we can beat them by 20 also, but I smell you are a little angry today so my friend drink a beer, have some fun with you girl, or your hand, sleep and we could talk tomorrow again hahaha :lol:

hmmmhm...you have to show some respecto to your rival dude, don't be a homer before the match. You could have to eat your words

Here's FIBA Ranking

Talking about tournaments Spain and Argentina should be over USA. But USA has the best roster, no doubt about it.
I just have admiration about USA's roster, I love Dwight, Kobe,Dwane...hell of a team. but also had an amazing team when we've beaten USA twice the last years. We have to defend the gold medal and we have a BIG heart.
Anything can happen, both are great teams...it's great to change some words with all of you.
good luck, Horcy

For good luck! My fired avatar. Messi? Ginobili? Blafff...

Oh I respect them they are amazing and a solid silver, but its gonna be a blow out and you should just come to terms with it

Goldenballer32 · Post #10 » by **Goldenballer32** » Thu Aug 21, 2008 3:11 am

usa defense is to good for any team to beat..call me crazy but manu wil not score over 15points in this game

MoGrAdY · Post #11 » by **MoGrAdY** » Thu Aug 21, 2008 5:27 am

USA by 20+

trebone · Post #12 » by **trebone** » Thu Aug 21, 2008 1:09 pm

us by 20+ and with kobe on manu and prob a few doubles manu will not break 15 pts and most of that will come in garbage time in the 3rd quarter!

You are very mature. You have the best arguments to sustain your ideas...I see...
Such a kid... :roll:

Very well nostradamus, please tell me how will be my day tomorrow too. It's very hard to have a serious discussion with most of you guys. Can't you talk about basketball? Can't you analize a team? You only talk about blows and you show almost no respect for the rival.

33 pts thats my argument you know what that is? It's the USA's average margin of victory. Argentina is going to get smoked tomorrow and you can call me a kid a child a baby or whatever you will but that's the cold hard truth and quite frankly i think you are delirious if you think it wouldn't take an absolute miracle for Argentina to win....

Horcy · Post #15 » by **Horcy** » Fri Aug 22, 2008 10:45 am

Well see... sometimes miracles happen, sometimes not.(we´ve won two of the last three times we faced you) I think miracles are different stuff, 5 players playing against 5 players is something terrenal.
We´ll see buddy, you are the favourites, no doubt, but you are talking like you are going to play against a unknown team. I wish nocioni, ginobili and scola teaches you how to be humble with your rivals.
Maybe you win, maybe we win, but it won´t be a massacre as you say. Just a basketball game. You could learn something about kobe, who respect us a lot. That´s the first thing you need if you want to beat someone, to respect to him. Do you practice some sports or you are just sitting right there talking too much?
good luck guys, i wish we watch a good basketball game.

If anyone wants to watch the game streamed online, here's a link:

http://os2008.nos.nl/live/index/kanaal/2

Right now there are other sports on there, obviously, but when the game starts it'll be streamed there. Just like the other link I posted the other day (summary USA-Aus) this is from that Dutch television network. Enjoy!

Give me the year and the roster of those last two times. I never said they were unknown you don't listen. I said they were a great team but they arent going to beat the US. I have respect for the Argentinians but they arent gonna win. LOL your are one to talk about respect taking personal attacks on me every time you post you should read some of your own posts. Talking yourself up like you show so much respect for everyone.... sure. I am a huge sports fan if I don't play sports then I don't survive. So hope you enjoy the game and take a lesson son.

lol @ this game.

Chuck, chuck, chuck, chuck, chuck....

This is like watching a Magic game.

Horcy · Post #19 » by **Horcy** » Fri Aug 22, 2008 4:24 pm

Well done guys, you´ve played very well, your players are just amazing. It was too difficult to play the entire game with your key player (manu), Nocioni and Oberto were injured too. it was a good and fair game. Both teams played hard, USA team respect Argentina´s. it´s fair you are playing for the gold medal. You´ve benn the best team so far. Scola is just great, Houston acquired him for a 2nd round pick and his european contract. :cry:

excellent! prognoses!!! about points, but I think you didn´t destroyed us. You´ve won playing very well the most of the game. you have been better, plain and simple.

congratulations and wel´ll meet again...remember... :lol:
