FIBA AMERICAS

yeah, but i think Argentina and USA are both 4-0, it should have been the last qualifier from 1 group facing the top team from the other..hahayz, wala na ta control ana mao sad na politika anang FIBA, pareha sad sa controversy sa grouping sa FIBA Asia, naay brackets weak kaayo naay brackets strong kaayo

FIBA's bracketing is done by drawing lots and everything is scheduled way before the tournament starts. The primary aim of the FIBA tournaments is to determine who would qualify for the Olympics, entertaining people comes next. Mao na sometimes some brackets ends up with the strongest teams. FIBA America's bracketing is not as worse as the Asia. USA had Brazil in their group. Brazil just looked weak because USA is too much to handle and I do believe the USA-Argentina match would end up in the same result.

well, FIBA Asia bracketing was really worse, on second thought though, maybe ok ra ni sa FIBA America because if this is the case then it is possible Argentina will not meet USA sa semifinals but sa Finals na

Actually... ang USA vs ARGENTINA game is the LAST GAME for the QUARTERFINALS...

mira siya ug MAIN EVENT.. preview for the FINALS?.. hehehhe.. hope so.. para ma prove sa US team ang ilang worth... ;p

[iskoLares]

para ma prevent nga mag meet ang USA ug ARGENTINA sa SEMIFINALS.. then they should at least Top 1 and 2 .. or TOP 3 and 4... bisag asa ana nga combination...

kay ang SEMIS format is like this..

Top 2 vs 3
Top 1 vs 4

so.. para malikayan mag tinaktakay sila sa SEMIs.. likay sila ana nga numero.. hehehe

yeah, safest is to stay on the top 2 spots para Finals na ang ila possible rematch

Argentina hit 15 triples in a Game against Mexico. Team USA pay attention to this, coz if not, mura ni ila kapildihan. By the way Argentina isn't having Oberto, Manu, Herrmman and Nocioni. Expect more from them this Olympics if their star players will play.

lig-on gihapon ang Argentina even without their big stars because they have assimilated so well the idea of what a team is so dili sila dependent sa few individuals to carry the fight for them, they will win as a team and lose as one if ever

Not necessarily. Argentina has to do more than that if they'll have to beat USA. If Argentina made 15 triples against Mexico, USA had 19 against Brazil, take note no less than Brazil. One way or another, Scola, Delfino and the rest of the Argentinians has to turn themselves into supermen if they will beat USA. Team play is no longer enough to stop USA because they themselves play superb team basketball and excellent defense.

Yeah I appreciate team USA for that. Look at this.. 19 triples? thats crazy.. It could bury cows out of New Zealand farm. But the story doesn't end up here. Argentinians are still having some warm ups this year, experiments I mean. More surprises to be seen during Olympics. That's why they aren't taking any risk with their line up this time. I believe Team USA can beat Argentina to the bones this tournament. Perhaps it's in the book. Sometime September next year, Manu will.. tap Kobe's back and say... " Superman can't make you cry baby... only me" Peace out!
