    I knew they would hold out until 3rd quarter.

    Naw man, that was a clean block. Kinda like i had on my game Wednesday night, just that i contested the shot really well instead of blocking dude shot it off the side of the board, and i got called for it. Even have video evidence that i didn't commit a foul LOL.

    Just as I compliment FIBA refs about not giving star treatment they get that BS foul on Melo......ugh.

    Hmmmmm let me see if I can use my power for goodness.

    No way Argentina stays in the game.

    You have no power...only delusions of grandeur and a knack for obsessing over run of the mill players.

    Fire? Dude has had his own agenda the whole tournament, chucking threes left and right. The team could do just as well without him.

    Anyway, since its a commercial break, about the bad foul i was talking about earlier.

    Here it is. Ridiculous man. You can clearly see i went straight up. Gotta show it to the ref.

    It's really sad not seeing any up and comers for Argentina. These guys really came out of nowhere years ago and impressed with their unselfish team play, tremendous skill, and great heart. Scola, Manu, Nocioni, and others really showed the world what Argentina basketball and having a warrior's spirit is all about. Too bad there doesn't appear to be any youth waiting in the wings.

    I can't believe they're calling Scola the leader right now, after manu and nocioni leave. He's been the core of the team very subtly the whole way.

    Question. Where is Boozer? Where has he been during most if not all of the Olympics? Is he hurt? I remember how the Chinese had a nasty nickname for him. Did they snuff him out?

    They realized that he is like that token college player that used to be on the team for fun.

    Boozer sucks at this level.
