I'm ecstatic for Manu, 29 points, WOW! Props to Luis Scola, another Argentinian heading the Spurs way!

Can't wait for the season to start!!

As for me, I was like Bush. I was pulling for the Iraqi's. WHY DON"T THEY DOMINATE IN SAND VOLLEYBALL?????  lol.

Losing in the WC's 2 years ago shocked the world.

I'm not shocked anymore.

One more loss and they become the first USA basketball team not to medal in the olympics.

Considering we play either Italy, who beat the heck out of us in the warm-up tour, or Lithuania, who beat the heck out of us at crunch time in a close game in the preliminary round, another US loss isn't far-fetched.

and considering how they played against Argentina.

At times good, at other times the utter lack of fundamental hoop was just  :puke:
Duh uh uh how does ya defends against a high screen roll.  I duh uh aint never seen that.

Im sure ever since James Naismiths horse wandered into the barn backyard and inadvertantly set a high screen roll that defenses have been devised to overcome it.  Naimsmiths young son said to his younger sister,  "When the horse blocks us from Daddy, you stay on Daddy".  Don't tell that to Team Millionaires.

Even after all the nonsense, they trail by only 7 with about 1:40 and have the ball.  AI brings it upcourt, fakes a 3, tosses to a WIDE OPEN set Marbury.  Mr Gunner himself holds the ball and instead of shooting overpasses it Jefferson for the 3 brick.

Its over.

My biggest and only beef?  The bogile calls to get Tim Dunker into foul trouble and then out.
Browns sub pattern.  Marbury was obviously back to being....Marbury.  I liked the way AI was playing.   I say Let AI and Lebron run the guard show.  Jefferson was an absoulute wuss.  

The final play should have been an absolute slap upside the head of the showboating dunking Argentine with 1 second.   Ya ya "he was stoked" etc.  Look he isnt that dumb.  He was rubbing it in.  Argentina played well but really its not like they played that well.  They didnt have to.
