Matchups to Watch

Who Will Stop Tyson Chandler?

For all we make of the U.S. roster not having many big men, Team USA is better off in the frontcourt than Argentina.

With 7'1" Tyson Chandler eating up space in the post, a small Argentina team might not be able to stop him.

The biggest player on the Argentinian roster is 6'10" Martin Leiva, and he cannot compete with the gigantic force that is Chandler.

Will Manu Ginobili Burn Team USA?

Ginobili is clearly the best player on Argentina's roster, and he has to be considered one of the best players that Team USA has faced thus far.

The question facing the U.S. is whether or not Ginobili will find a way to burn them, especially against such great guards.

Luis Scola

Scola is not exactly an elite big man, but he's a good test for Team USA.

Power forwards like Anthony Davis and Kevin Love will finally be tested against a good NBA forward, and he could be a warmup for the elite bigs the U.S. will be facing in London.

Prediction

Argentina can't take advantage of the lack of big men on the U.S. roster, and does not have the same level of guard play as Team USA. This will leave them with a huge loss.

Final Score: United State 124, Argentina 81
