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?

    80% of Euro players wouldn’t throw one punch, a weak one at that, and then go running. Melo lost all his street cred in that one sequence. Euro player rarely throw punches, but if they do people come flying. Not the opposite. Anyways I’m out Congrats on the win guys.

    @riggs… i think you saw your players face when they left for half time, right?
    and i don’t think i saw that!
    did the ref FINALLY called the 3 secs violation on howard?!?!?!
    after 45 possessions… good call.

    Coach K with the 3/4 court press, up by 27. Classy.

  • riggs

    @Bruno: compared to the other games where we had the same lead after the half? nah i dont see where youre coming from tbh.

  • http://www.hibachi20.blogspot.com Hursty

    Argies are p*ssed off at Melo and are taking it out on the refs.

  • http://shawn-kemps-offspring.blogspot.com/ TADOne

    NICE pass by KB

  • chintao

    @ TADOne ==> It must be because EVERY basket in international ball comes off an assist. For that reason, it is not important to count. Just get a rough estimate by taking the score and dividing by two.

    Love the Argentin’s crying about hard contact.

  • chintao

    The doberman lost the scent on that one.

    ummm. you can guard delfino if you want

  • Pascal

    Ginobili must be hurt really bad… Somewhere in SA, Pop is screaming!!

    I just watched the third quarter at Qdoba. Couple thoughts:

  • Bruno

    you know whats the best part?
    i’m a die hard NBA fan… i love most of the guys in the court, but its always soooooo good to cheer against lebronha and all the hype!!!!
    its so good to have a called-king with no-title-at-all!
    i love to see kobe playing, but i wish he wasn’t there and you guys loosing it again, cause well, lebron and melo already tryied twice and we all know what happened…
    but i gotta show my respect and love for the likes of cp3, dhowie, dwade, kobe, kidd’s history, deron, and well, even sweet-soft bosh…

    1, Their guacamole is pretty good.

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

    2, Anyone hating on Jason Kidd’s play on this tournament is missing the point. Every time he touches the ball and doesn’t shoot, he is doing something great for his team.

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

    3, Unlike my friend Pascal, I cannot vouch for their noses, but their funny looking South American gents with It@lian last names do not go down easily.

  • http://shawn-kemps-offspring.blogspot.com/ TADOne

    Co-sign Jones.

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

    4, Bruno is totally right. About everything.

  • Michael

    guacamole, isnt that foreign food?

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

    5, USA will win the goal.

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

    Or “gold,” if you prefer.

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

    scola and artest will be great friends

  • http://dyalekt.com d.Y.

    the goal Jones?

  • chintao

    Co-sign Ryan’s assessment of Kidd’s passing tonight. The rest of the tourney? Meh.

  • http://shawn-kemps-offspring.blogspot.com/ TADOne

    I want them to win the goal.

  • Bruno

    man, if the spaniards play with that kinda heart, they can do it!
    they have more talent and more players than argentina! too bad they don’t have scola instead of gutless gasol.

  • Big Marv

    Just watched most of the game and scola is a bastard, yeah he can score but all those stupid elbows, (here’s looking at ‘Melo) and then there’s all the complaining to the refs. Just don’t like em.
    Comming to think of it, a lot of Nazis fled to Argentina, maybe that explains the dirty play, and the flopping. I’m out like Manu.

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

    6, The slamonline filter won’t let me use the word “It@lian,” hence the @. Somebody else try it.

  • http://shawn-kemps-offspring.blogspot.com/ TADOne

    Jones was obviously watching soccer earlier.

  • http://www.nrl.com.au Money Bill Williams

    i like bruno’s use of “dhowie”, is that a waltonism?

  • Michael

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

    after all that happened, the game was a nice surprise for me
    argentina without ginobili and with oberto and nocioni with limited time on the court… great game.

  • chintao

    Wade looks like the kid who just realized he can dunk now.

  • http://slamonline.com bbfan
