    Delfino seems to be getting his rhythm/timing back with these last two 'Super 4' games against Croatia and Serbia.
    He was ineffective during the 18 minutes he played in the Lithuania game 5 or 6 days ago.

    Carlos Delfino #10 - Argentina .vs. Lithuania [full game video below]
    (skip to time index)
    0:15:06 [4:40 remaining in 1st quarter] - enters game for Manu Ginobili #5
    0:23:09 [9:39 remaining in 2nd quarter] - 2 pts
    0:24:45 [8:20 remaining in 2nd quarter] - assist to Roberto Acuña #35
    0:30:36 [5:00 remaining in 2nd quarter] - leaves game
    0:39:36 [0:34 remaining in 2nd quarter] - re-enters game for Patricio Garino #29
    0:57:02 [4:47 remaining in 3rd quarter] - re-enters game

    The last Olympic tribute was for Carlos Delfino, the gladiator who returned after seven operations

    Al santafesino they gave the last video before traveling to Rio de Janeiro and plate, this time, the delivered his colleagues passed the examinations to Luis Scola, Manu Ginobili, Andres Nocioni, the coaching staff and in the meantime the last meeting for Fabricio Oberto, but one of the magical moments of this farewell tour basketball team was the tribute to Carlos Delfino and tenacity to return to play after seven operations. Unlike other experiences, this time his teammates handed him the plate.

    Argentina is that group of old guys that show up at the gym. You think you're just gonna breeze by them but they just wreck your team cause they've been playing with each other for years.
