argentina played so well dispite losing their main man ginoboli so early on!!
the usa had alot of calls go there way , it was bs. personally i think if ginoboli had played they would have gone on to win.
I hope Spain can beat usa in the final
uhhhh hummmmm

a lot of those shots others made were shots that ginobili woulda taken if he was in the game. Also its not like team USA won by 7 points. It was a 20 point game. If the game was closer team usa woulda played tougher. It was blow out and a washed up ginobili would not have been able to make a difference

I disagree.
one of Argentina's key players Nocioni was playing with injury. It was evident and he was struggling to run and hobbling around.
Argentina did really well considering their situation.

you can never evaluate the situation like that. Team USA is focused and they play defense. When theya re up by 20 they wont play as hard as when they are up by 8. Nocioni, delfino and ginobili, I ahve seen them all play in the NBA. What you are saying is actually funny!!!! ginobili was very good but his good days are behind him and even when he was good he couldnt have beat a team usa that had kobe and an experienced dwade and LbJ

usa is playing well no doubt. But I believe this game was not beyond argentina's reach.
You can't win a game on paper so names don't mean much as argentina was able to beat usa last time and win gold in the final. Things would have been a lot different if ginoboli had played the match, he is their high scorer and inspiration.
BUTTTT they also got lucky ginobili went out...i mean theres no guarantee that they would've won but still....and 20points is in the range of what ginobili normally scores
