They have to go small; they didn't bring any bigs.

true. I guess just Bosh and Howard then. Bosh has been very good in this tourney, though, on the boards and finishing.

Yeah, he's good, but I hope he breaks his toe on the last play of the gold medal game.

us coming back out sharp in the second, now leading 67-49, outscoring argentina 18-9 in the 3rd

Awesome offensive rebounding, and Argentina keeps getting called for flagrant fouls.

Scola going off a bit it seems. Has Manu played at all this half?

by **jerseyhoya** » Fri Aug 22, 2008 11:46:02

No, he's been out since the first quarter. Hurt his ankle.

by **laf837** » Fri Aug 22, 2008 11:49:11

oh jeez. bye bye argentina

by **jerseyhoya** » Fri Aug 22, 2008 11:51:03

They've outscored us since he's been out. We're only up 14 again.

Melo is leading with 21 points, despite being 3/14 from the floor (2/8 from 3). Dude is 13/13 from the charity stripe.

by **laf837** » Fri Aug 22, 2008 12:07:28

yeah, I noticed. surprising becasue it's not like Argentina is raining threes all day. Turnovers? bad shot selection?

by **jerseyhoya** » Fri Aug 22, 2008 12:09:47

Both of those, plus in the second quarter it seemed like the whole damn time Argentina was shooting free throws.

Argentina went into a zone, and we looked baffled. Settled for too many threes. Made greedy passes that turned into turnovers.

Up 20 here with a minute left. Not bad, all things considered. I mean, these are the defending gold medalists.

by **laf837** » Fri Aug 22, 2008 12:12:51

Thanks for that. I liked Argentina as the 2nd best team so yeah, a nice win regardless of Manu's injury.

So does the bronze medal baseball game start in 25 minutes? And is it really not on TV? Does NBC know that Americans like baseball?

by **TenuredVulture** » Fri Aug 22, 2008 22:55:28

Belgium with the silver?

by **TenuredVulture** » Fri Aug 22, 2008 23:22:09

Those Jamaican guys are fast. Really, really fast.
