Gold Medal Game: Puerto Rico vs. Brazil

[planaria]

Puerto Rico just falls short!

Blame missed free throws for this loss, congrats to Brazil. 61-60

If he had hit that one, I´d blame the refs, of course.

BUT WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS!!!!

Puerto Rico had the tie...Vassallo missed the FT.

Arroyo was so CLUELESS in the last play.

Arroyo isn't a 3pt specialist....though he was hot in the tournament....this man is good at penatration.

It was a 1 POINT GAME.

all we needed was 1 POINT or more.

All Arroyo had to do was drive to the basket and absorb contact from the skinny Brasilians....damn Carlos.

A fade away three with a defender in your face?

Arroyo penetration could of lead to 5 things.

A lay up
A trip to the FT line
An open man in the paint to pass to
An open 3pt shooter to pass to
a miss

An Arroyo wild 3pt shot could lead to 2 things
an incredible stupid made 3pt shot.
an incredible retarded missed shot for the loss.

Agreed! The last play was goofy. Even because the refs would call everything there...

Nice to see Luis Scola as the tournament MVP! He deserved it! He was a monster like ever!

Congrats to Brasil...Barbosa and Varejao are quality NBA talent....Splitter will be a very good player in San Antonio.

It´s strange. At first, I´d love the idea of see Splitter playing in NBA. Now, I wish he simply stay in Europe.

I mean...Tiago is always in our NT. I hate the idea of Spurs management making pressure to he dont attend some tournaments...

Congrats to the Brazilians! Great weekend in all sports, it seems

Let's hope this gold translates into a great showing in Turkey, i't time to kick some Euro ass

I agree. I wonder how many players prefer Europe instead of the NBA because of this.
