    that actually seems high. team USA's last 3 games have been decided by a total of 16 points.

    is the US going to miss 50 wide open 3's by the time this game is done?

    campazzo can make tough floaters better than carmelo can make uncontested alley oop layups.

    Well... that escalated quickly. I guess with no inside presence and missing athleticism Argentina is a favorable matchup for the U.S.

    Lowry gambles so much on defense. I've been noticing that quite a bit. He needs to stop doing that.

    I know, what a shocker, but I am part of the few that does not knee jerk during the game. Crazy though.

    Oh how the mighty have fallen with this Argentina team.

    well that was a terrible end to the half. up 23 klay has a wide open 3 and not only doesn't make it, but doesn't even take it so that he can throw a cross-court pass that about 3 argentinian players could have stolen and it gives arg a wide open 3 on the break. then kyle lowry throws a lazy pass that leads to another fastbreak, then instead of holding for the final shot lowry throws the ball up ahead and even though butler was open by the basket, it turned into a TO and gave arg the final possession. and even though you can't expect much, with 3.3 seconds left we just chuck up a turnaround 30 footer as soon as we catch the inbound. 3.3 seconds is plenty of time to go toward the basket and score or kick it out for an open 3.
