It's not going to matter dude. USA is head and shoulders better than anyone in this tournament thsi season. They already destroyed Spain and Greece, who Argentina barely got past.

The only way the US can lose now is if Paul, Carmelo, or Kobe start playing stupid like in earlier games.

This reminds me of ABC's test of a Football game without commentary.

They should implement the Hack a Bron or Hack a Dwight strategy, Argentina can not defend the US straight up in the halfcourt.

Stupid NBC bastards... They won't stop showing table tennis and male foreigner volleyball on the HD USA and Universal HD channels. I do so enjoy watching this game on a grainy window on my PC rather than in full HD on the 52 inch Sony...

I've got the game with the announcers on digital cable now on one of the special "Olympic" channels. I still can't believe NBC is showing Regis and Kelly over this. Unreal.

If you have Universal HD then you have the NBC HD Basketball channel. Go find it.

I don't know if you're being sarcastic or not, as I do not have any audio right now anyway. Is there really no commentary?

I can't believe you've had that channel all along and haven't been using it. I've been using the basketball channel religiously. I don't trust those other stations.

Nope. None of NBC's online feeds have commentary.

Me too. Those dedicated soccer and basketball channels were the best things to happen to the Summer Olympics.

Ummmm.... I'd be extremely, ecstatically happy to be wrong, but the only HD NBC I've got on my Houston AT&T U-Verse is showing Regis and Kelly at the moment... If there is another HD NBC channel that is located outside of the 1000+ channel U-Verse HD grouping I'd be thrilled, but I have never discovered such a thing...

Try 77006, and pretend you are living in the shadow of downtown, toilet-bowl Houston ...

Letting them crawl their way back into this because of stupid fouls and free throw shooting is definitely happening...

Well, actually I don't have it in my room, where I've been watching the games. I only have standard cable plus fox , NBC. Abc in hd. It hasn't been a problem because every game until now has been on NBC or USA . I am downstairs on our digital box watching this one.

No rebounding, can't make a 3, can't penetrate the zone, just passing the ball around the 3 point line, committing stupid fouls...they're starting to look like the mavericks.

OK, now Universal HD is at least showing pretty German and Argentinian girls running around in short skirts playing field hockey instead of male on male volleyball, although USA HD is still stuck on ping pong games... It's an improvement, I guess, but it is still shocking to me that the USA v. Argentina basketball game is being frozen out on American television by this kind of nonsense...

The US team is frustrated and floundering. Looks like we have a basketball game on our hands here.

Baasically, U.S. has stopped making their shots and Argentina is flopping like no tomorrow. A deadly combination.

You mean with this zip code they won´t come after me when pretending i´m AT&T customer, because the user can´t pay the fine anyway

OK... Now the ping pong is evidently over, so USA HD has started showing Male beach volleyball instead of the USA v. Argentina bball game... And it looks like it's the poor Georgian beach volleyball team trying to survive against the powerhouse Brazilians...

I'd be pretty surprised if you didn't have it. It was put in just for the Olympics. Browese the very bottom of your HD channels.
