    Seems like Lamas does not want to win the game. Scola did not play in the 2nd quarter and for the first time in this tournament (against the strongest team) the bench players are playing a lot of minutes. I understand him, they would face Spain in the quarters. Tanking everywhere...

      Argentina can't win this. Score is too high already. Plus the game is not important, so they won't go down the wire. If this was a knock out game though, the US could loose. Mostly because USA would loose many more 3s.

        Yes, seems that this game is over, argentinians could not manage the tempo in 3rd quarter. They also miss Prigioni a lot... Lebron and Durant continue to play great.

        Btw. they want to kill Ginobili this game... Especially Chandler´s foul was really dirty.

          USA is unbeatable if Durant is on 2010 mode which he is on right now.

          Is Prigioni just resting or is he injured?

            Prigioni has kidney problems. The famous Knicks curse...
            47-70
            76-58

              I just find it hilarious. USA come out of its shell and play like they should and now people are suggesting Argentina is not trying cause its not an important game. No one is beating this US team. Enough with the excuses.

                I think the US played one of its best games ever. Better than against Spain in the final of 2008. Scoring 102 points against Argentina in 3 quarters is just amazing. There's just no way to beat them this way. Hope they didn't peak too early.

                  Bit of a cheap shot to end the quarter, that might come up in a rematch.

                  That's the US defense I was waiting to see! Much better, 4th quarter will probably be relaxed, unless US takes that personal.

                    Wow. Gonna be tough for Argentina if Prigioni is hurt and Campazzo is suspended for his cheap shot on Anthony.

                        Game and crowd got all intense for two minutes at the start of the fourth quarter, then everyone remembered it was a 25-point game and the energy just disappeared.

                          Damn I missed the cheap shot on Melo. Paul finally playing up to expectations. Only Kobe is missing. He still has 3 games to redeem himself.

                          So when will Campazzo get his 4-year 25M deal from an NBA GM? He reminds me of Rubio with better shooting.

                          Best game by Team USA in this tournament so far.

                            What an insult to Arg adding Davis into the game...Glad he is getting playing time

                            Argentina need Pri badly

                              LOL Harden.

                              Westbrook's dunk is the dunk of the tournament so far.
