they better win this one and hopefully they will actually play like a team this time and not like the knicks. A loss here would be a devastating blow to usa basketball. Sorry knicks fans, but our reputation is on the line.

Our rep? Or rep is to be # 1. Not struggling for 3rd place. We had the best player in the NBA, Dwyane Wade on our team... the Finals MVP, the next Jordan... and he couldn't even take over a game and bring us a win. Damn shame. Who gives a **** about our rep now. We can get 4th place for all it matters.
I'd love nothing more than to see the US come out and play they're hearts out for four quarters and destroy Argentina, but after friday's dissapointment I honestly don't see how they'll get motivated for this game, so for that reason I'd say argentina by 10.

If Lebron and Wade dont come out and play better/harder they should be demoted from captain. Today showed what horrible captains they were for this team.
I'm actually lookin forward to this game, obviously not as much as if we still had a shot at the gold. But I had USA vs Argentina in the championship round and this should be a entertaining game. I want to see what kind of pride this team has. I want to see if they'll still play their heart out or will they just pack it in and wait to go home.
I wouldn't be surpised if Manu and company massacres us
If Team USA comes back with heart... led by Wade and Bron (the men who dissappeared) and beat Argentina... I will eat a copy of NBA 07 with Kobe on the cover, live on webcam for everyone to see.
LeBron "Corporate" James couldn't care less about winning. The guy is probably more focused on finding ways to market himself and sell more shoes in Japan than the tournament. Biggest sellout of all time.
Where all the fans of Queen James? The best player in the NBA? The man better than Carmelo Anthony? Where was this Queen of basketball? How come he didn't look at the score and realize, "Wow, I am the best player in the game... I need to takeover and show these kats whose boss."... LeBron is as my man said, a sellout. Go get your dollars up. Don't bother working on your game. Getting a jumpshot, making free-throws, moving without the ball etc.
Normally, I'd defend Lebron and Wade. But they deserve all the roasting they've gotten today.
Pathetic display last night. I had flashbacks of the Olympics watching how terrible our perimeter D was and how we couldnt make a shot to save our lives. It sickens me to hear the American announcers say that Team USA have been playing great D. Bull****. The only D we were playing was taking gambles for steals and maybe a blocked shot by Dwight Howard once in awhile. That was it. We couldnt stop ANYONE. We blew a 12 point lead in the 2nd quarter. This team has no heart!
Awful. You'd think after Athens, the USA Basketball committee would put some damn shooters on this team! Joe Johnson was our best pure shooter? Come the *** on. Bruce Bowen was cut. WHY?!
That's what I'd like to know. I'm looking at ESPN.com and the Spain v. Greece game is on ESPN2 Sunday @ 3:30am. I'm not seeing the US v. Argentina game in their schedule at all.
