Manu Must Go Down, And Must Go Down Hard

I know you'll find this hard to believe, but yes, that's Manu Ginobili complaining to the officials.

Team USA Basketball goes for a medal this morning against 2004 Olympic Champion Argentina. If you recall, Ginobili had an unreal 2004 Games, including this ridiculous buzzer beating shot to beat Serbia.

This 2008 Argentina team hasn't played as well as they did four years ago, but they should be feared just the same. Ginobili is joined by NBA stars Carlos Delfino, Andres Nocioni, and Luis Scola. The Argentinians defeated Greece in the quarterfinals 80-78, thanks to 24 points from the flopping bald spot.

Should be a great game. Q it up here.

Is that Kobe's mantra when he "folllows through"?

Great 18-0 run by the USA....This is the 1st Quarter we wanted to see 30-11. It's payback time!!!! Manu looks like he may not come back...We're too physical for Argentina, and they can't flop because this US team knows all about that junk...

Do we not have anyone on the coaching staff who understands how to attack the "Zone" Defense??

Looks like we do...The US is moving the ball better. Nice 2nd-Half adjustment..Now we need more LeBron, then D-Wade, and finish them off with Kobe!!!!

I wasn't able to find it on my tv before I left for school but I am following it from the computer lab. So for those of you watching... How have they looked? Why is Jason Kidd playing so much? What happened to Ginobili? Who has looked strong?

Only an Argintinian player could trip himself and just lay there under the basket with his arms out wanting a foul. What a douche. (I am watching it online so I couldn't see who it was. If it was Manu, then it makes sense.)

So I finally figured out why I couldn't find the game this morning...IT WASN'T SHOWN LIVE IN ANY TIME ZONE EXCEPT THE EAST!!!!

NBC sucks. The amount of tape delayed events they have shown in comparison to the ones that they show live in only certain time zones is unacceptable . I really hope ABC can out bid NBC to get the Olympics.
