Team USA vs. Argentina Open Discussion

Counting flops by the dozen.

Let’s discuss the United States/Argentina Men’s Semifinal match. The United States looks to clinch a gold medal round birth against the 2004 defending Olympic champion Argentina!

West Coasters, a special welcome – is tape delay really necessary for a 10:15 a.m. ET game?

    The town itself is not a sh*thole, Tarzan, but in regards to proximity to the rest of civilization, yeah, we’re not even in the middle of nowhere — we’re like 20 miles away from the middle of nowhere.

    Kobe Bryant, G: 5-14 FG, 2 REB, 1 AST

    they gave a nice run for USA and well, last time today, where was lebron, the leader on the game that counted???????????
    i’m not saying kobe played well, cause he clearly didn’t, but he is obviously the leader. if you can call someone a redeemer… its clearly former#8.
    by the way, i really hate that kobe changed for #24… i know, i know… that was a long time ago, but just saying…

    Nice try, Carlos. Too bad that you can’t break into the stat line so easily.

    Bruno has been watching Bizzarro-vision.

    Lebron’s worst game so far. Bad decisions. Kobe’s stat line sucked, but he and Kidd kept USA from repeating history.

    Manu must be really hurt to not have come when the were within 9 at halftime.

    PS, the fact that no one either bothered to click on the SI.com live blog to see Andy Kaufman’s picture, or did but didn’t bother to comment on my comment regarding Andy Kaufman’s basketball blogging, really bothers me.

    Carmelo Anthony, F: 3-14 FG, 4 REB, 0 AST

  • chintao

    LOL. Sorry, Ryan. The reference was too esoteric for me. Care to explain yourself now?

  • http://www.slamonline.com Ryan Jones

    Hursty: Because that sh*t was hilarious.

  • http://www.alllooksame.com Tarzan Cooper

    nobody wants to give melo credit? not only for all those free throws and 3s, but for hitting the bully

  • Jackie Moon

    Everyone’s going to act like the US lost this one, like they should have won by 30. What happened to “respect your opponents”? Argentina played well, but the US still beat them by 20.

  • http://www.slamonline.com Ryan Jones

    No. Aquemini just came up on iTunes. Perfect segue for me to be out.

  • Jackie Moon

    @Tarzan – yes, Melo had his best game of the Olympics.
