[Faptastrophe]

not that I care that much also... I hate all this media campaign that's been built. Putting casual fans into dellusion.

[talkingconch]

where are the pics of women from argentina

[KG215]

I'm getting it on OBBL (still have no idea what it stands for but it's an NBC affiliate). That could be another American channel if you aren't getting it on NBC Sports. OBBL may just be a DISH Network channel, though, because I've never heard of it before when I had cable.

just everybody trying to cash on our NT lately... media campaigns all over, support this buy that, jerseys hanging in shopping centers and stuff. We having coverage for basketball like no other sport in London, while the "goal" for these olympics is like 3-8 place or something. Our NT in no way deserved the attention they getting, in no way they going to live up to the hype, and in no way should the real winners of our olympic delagetion be overlooked like that. It's a poor culture in the bball team and a nazi-like propaganda machine running for them. I'm so sick of it.:banghead: :hammerhead:

[millwad]

How can any dislike the argentinian national team, they're amazing!

[Sakkreth]

Too many turnovers, Argentina shoots from 3 way too good.

[outbreak]

So in Australia i have 9 dedicated olympics channels plus the free to air channel. We have had all the women's basketball as far as i know but for some reason we aren't getting this game shown....

[Faptastrophe]

Delfino on fire. Expected the game to be closer..

[bagelred]

Prigioni got hurt?

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ooooooooooo

[Faptastrophe]

Not the Lithuania I used to know.. where the 3pt snipers at?

[KG215]

Argentina taking it to Lithuania. Delfino is putting on a 3P clinic.

[Faptastrophe]

Delfino should just Heat Check the shit out of those three pointers.

[kNIOKAS]

Delfino might not be bad for Cs, if that deal is still alive/Delfino not taken.

To that Borat_Sagdyev guy, you talk to me son?

[IGOTGAME]

Lithuania looks very poorly coached.

[bokes15]

Disappointed at Val's output here, but oh well. As long as he's not hurt like they are suggesting, get them out early and save him for the NBA season as far as i'm concerned.

[bagelred]

Scola got fouled by his own teammate, and they called the foul. :oldlol:

[bagelred]

Listening in to Lithuianian huddle. Couldn't agree more with the coach. Well said.

What did he say?

[ZenMaster]

:oldlol:

[Faptastrophe]

Ok, this wasn't as close as it should have been.

SMH at Prigioni trying to score when the game was practically over..

Can't wait for Batmanu vs. TP.

He did the right thing, this is not like in the NBA, in the group stage you may land on the same point as other teams and if so it's very important to have a great scoring difference towards other teams.

It has happened to me once when I played for the swedish youth nationalteam and we played a cup against the rest of the scandinavian countries and we lost due the fact that we scored less against Iceland compared to what Finland did against them and therefor they won.

So much truth. Not that I hate it, but its bad for everything and everyone. We have stupid facebook glory hunting girls and fake fans like no other, "experts" are changing their mind every 2 seconds, support is as big as hatred, people are rooting for their own club players, everyone are acting and feeling like a "

[chips93]

didnt see the game, did valanciunas get in foul trouble or something? how com he only played 15 mins? is he only a role player for lithuania?

[bagelred]

What did he say?

:applause:

[R.I.P.]

Two teams bid on Scola. :facepalm

[Miserio]

Scola was a monster and Manu with a double-double. We played the perfect game tonight against Lithuania who killed us in the last world cup.

[steve]

He did in the first half. Even so, he's not really an active part of their offensive scheme as is, add that to the fact that Scola is just a terrible match up for any young big man.

[Grinder]

Argentina did a great job executing their offense and moved the ball around masterfully today. Delfino was shooting the lights out, Manu was constantly in attack, and Scola dominated inside.

Kleiza was the only guy on Lithuania who was consistently making things happen. I was disappointed with Valanciunas' making almost zero impact on the game. It's odd seeing Lithuania struggle shooting the ball so much...
