Somehow, the facebook live stream is 7 seconds ahead of the NBATV broadcast lol. Btw, who is Argentina's point guard? looked pretty good on a few plays early.

I know this is only a quarter and a half in to the first exhibition game, but if this US intensity is a sign of things to come, we are going to wafflecrush the Olympics.
Haha yeah... first time I noticed that, it took me a sec to figure out who it was. First that was srs 'why is Kendall Marshall playing for Argentina'.
Argentina is one of the better teams. Who is going to give these guys a game if they keep playing at this intensity level (which I assume they will)?
Observations from watching bits and pieces against Argentina: This version of Team USA looks like they might turn back the clock 20-30 years. Their length and ability to switch on defense is a sight to watch.
Some of you are heavily, i mean very heavily r****ded, just because Argentina got some big names, that doesn't mean they're team to beat. or anything of sorts, and while US will most likely going to cakewalk to the gold, due their superiority, Argentina ain't the team to give them fits due to their age. There might be few teams that could give US fits, but Argentina is clearly past their prime.
It'll be interesting to see how well Zhou Qi plays against the US team in the next couple of warm up games. ZQ has been pretty disappointing thus far in the CNT warm up games. Hopefully he'll step up at least make some positive impression though I am not optimistic. He has good timing on blocks both on the ball and on the weak side, but everything else is really raw. I would consider it a successful night if he gets 6 pts, 6 reb, and 2 blocks. USA basketball will post live streams of all of the exhibition games on their facebook page https://www.facebook.com/usabasketball/ The first game will be 7pm central on Sunday. The 2nd game will be on 9pm Central on Tuesday.
Nobody said Argentina was the team to beat. I said 'Argentina is one of the better teams'. According to the current FIBA Rankings, they're #4. So which one of us are heavily, I mean very heavily r****ded?
These rating are calculated for years, hence if you were good for long, you won't drop down all of a sudden, IE: Russia is good example, when they couldn't even make out of group in Euro championship. So yes, please gloat more about US beating old ass Argentina.
