USA eded up winning by 29
My bad I thought if arg won we played them

If we get within 30 of USA I count that as a win

I'm pretty sure if Argentina had have won by a certain amount they would've finished top of their group and we would've been playing them but USA it is.

Great basket by Mills

What does everyone think is an exceptable loss against the Dream Team? For me, anything under 20 will be a good job.

I remember we only lost to them by 10 points at the '04 Olympics and someone said the other day since then there was a game we only lost by 7 points to them although I can't remember that at all.

I agree anything under 20 points would be good as long as we don't lose by more than Nigeria's woeful effort of 83 points it's all good!

Argentina had to win by around 40 for memory so it was never going to happen

[Gozu]

Oh okay I thought it was 17 points or something, obviously 40 points was never a chance.

I'll always remember this Boomers vs USA Dream Team warm up game before the '96 Olympics.

Still gives me goose bumps just how unconscious Shane Heal was nailing massive 3's from everywhere just destroying one of the best PG's ever in John Stockton and of course his infamous chest bump on Charles Barkley.

Yeah Argentina needed to win by 106 points to top the group

I think USA was 106 points up, Argentina would of had to win by 54

Are they toying with us or are we just playing really well? At work with no TV damn it

[Brodlach]

They are playing well, its been a good performance so far. Need a little more depth on the bench, Worthington and Newley have not given them much
