Question

Did Team USA only win because Ginoboli was out? ?

Answer 1

no argentina got into the game to play better

Answer 2

i doubt that...

team usa will pawn argentina even if ginobili is healthy and joined that game... but it will be a close game

Answer 3

No, the US team would have won it anyways. a smaller margin but a win no doubt.

Answer 4

Nope. they were on fire when Ginnobollis was stiill there. after he got injured the Aregtinians started play good. it was Kobe fault for those uneccasrry threes which cause the lead to fall. just like what he did to the lakers. and if wade wasnt in foul trouble hhtat wont have happen

Answer 5

Not at all. When Manu first went out, Argentina made up a 21 point deficit and got within 6.  Had he returned, perhaps a different story. However USA has much to much offense to slow down any team, defensively,a nd only bad/poor shooting will hurt them. On other hand, playing a defensive game for USA is the key, and as a team. Its no surprise what each can do offensively, but to defend, as a team, they worked on, and are working on, and is key. I just dont see Spain doing much harm on offense to worry USA.

Answer 6

mabye because the US was sucking in the 2nd qtr so if he was in he could have took advantage mabye turning it around

Answer 7

No, Because they took 20 more free throws and made 15 more.

Answer 8

The game would have been a lot closer had he played.

Answer 9

The real question is: If Ginobili was consummately healthy, would the Argentina beat the team USA?

If Ginobili was in 100% healthy, he would have obliterated the USA like in the 2005 NBA Finals against the Pistons!

Answer 10

they were up when he was in, but who knows, they got it close, but the margin went back up in the 3rd.

argentina really couldve gave the usa team a scare had ginobili been playing when they got close in the 2nd.

Answer 11

nah. ginobli got game no doubt, but if you look at it. it wouldnt have been the same if he was in because all those other guys that made buckets during the argentina run probably wouldnt have done that with ginobli in. it can go a lot of ways. ginobli could have wanted to take shots, he would have missed some, etc etc. therefore what im saying is that if ginobli was still in, then it would have been a different situation still. no matter what though USA still would have won the game
