Ignorant comment of the month.

U should reasearch on it, and see who has won championships and what not. Look up Ginobli, and san antonio spurs.

Awesome game Argentina, we got a medal guaranteed no matter what

Vamos Argentina

:rolleyes:

Our bball coach back in highschool was Argentinian. He's getting close to 60 yrs old, but is still one of the best players I've seen. He always had interesting bball stories from his childhood back in Argentina.

You should take a look at the 'imports' in the NBA. BBall isn't reserved for Americans alone.

Congrats to Argentina. I LOVE the US losing in basketball. That is hilarious. They're all a bunch of ball-hogs trying to impress the rest of the world with how good they think they are. Too many big ego's on one team is a bad thing. :p

Congradulations to Argentina! Finally I don't have to sit through that American Anthem (even though I live the US, I was not born there and, I hate it!).....any way, the reason, imo, the USA sucked in this olymics, is becasue of thier Defense, and surprising to me thier coaching. Opponents left open for in every single game, what about running an outside zone?....The players chosen were built for the NBA game but were incapable of adjusting, horrible recruiting, imo.

I think i know more about the american continent than you do. And guess what the #1 sport in Argentina is by far ... football (soccer to americans)! So losing against Argentina in BB is a big shame. Don't take your anger on me, not my fault.

Who are you talking to? No one is mad...

It really isn't a shame because like I said, the U.S Olympic team wasn't made up of that many great players.

I don't think that its about egos (well maybe it is), I think that its more about the coaching doing a horrible job. I am very happy that the USA lost, but I am nevertheless shocked how the USA coaching staff could not get the team together...I though Larry Brown and Gregg Popovich were good coaches, coaching thier teams to the finals, i guess I was wrong :)

i dont care.

when you have guys on the team that probly make more in their careers than the entire argentina team combined will in their lifetime, you BETTER win.

period.

now lose the bronze medal game, and come back over here where you can rap and play meaningless games for your 100 million.

pitiful.

Agreed. They should have done whatever it took to win a medal. Too much money (and ego's) hurts you in the end.

btw

I am and probably will continue to be poor so my ego and money allow me to make those comments!

    • Steam overlay's FPS counter gets major upgrade to show CPU and VRAM usage, temps, and more

      You invoke the game bar and then can pin it with transparent background.

      100% agree with this " As for real framerate vs framegen framerate, I don't think they exactly want you to know, given that their marketing has been strongly focused on hiding the real framerate and pretending the generated one is all that matters..."

      However, you would have to invoke it with the Windows key + G; in other words, it's useless. It is Microsoft's logic of placing things, and that is a company who have no idea how to design anything.
    • Samsung 2TB 9100 PRO, 990 PRO NVMe SSDs have never been cheaper

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Samsung 2TB 9100 PRO, 990 PRO NVMe SSDs have never been cheaper by Sayan Sen It looks like the NVMe SSD market is once again coming to life if you are out there hunting for deals. Samsung, for example, is offering its 9100 PRO and 990 PRO drives at great prices that you should absolutely look at if you want to save some major bucks. The discounts apply on 2TB models (purchase links down below). First up, we have the 9100 PRO. It is based on PCIe Gen5 and thus promises double the speed of the 990 PRO. Samsung claims to deliver sequential read and write speeds of up to 14,700 MB/s and 13,400 MB/s, respectively, on the 2TB model. In terms of random throughput, the claimed numbers for the 2TB SKU is 1850K IOPS for the reads and 2600K IOPS for writes. The on-board DRAM cache helps in this regard with 2GB of LPDDR4X on the 2TB. The SSD is built on Samsung's in-house 8th Gen TLC V-NAND flash memory and has endurance ratings of 1200 TBW (terabytes written). Gen5 SSDs are known to run quite hot and thus the included SSDs are a must. You may even upgrade to something even better if you are having trouble managing the heat. Speaking of heat, Samsung says that the drives have an operating temperature of 0 to 70 Celsius, and upon exceeding this temperature, the drive's controller will begin throttling quite heavily. Get it at the link below: SAMSUNG SSD 9100 PRO without Heatsink 2TB, PCIe 5.0x4 M.2 2280 (MZ-VAP2T0CW): $239.99 (Amazon US) || $239.99 (Shipped and Sold by Newegg US) 990 PRO is, on the other hand, the fastest Gen4 drive from Samsung. There are some obvious differences like lower speeds on this compared to the 9100 PRO. Sequential reads and writes are rated at 7450 MB/s and 6900 MB/s respectively. The random throughputs for reads and writes are 1400K IOPS and 1550K IOPS respectively. The 990 PRO is based on Samsung's 7th Gen V-NAND flash and it too is TLC. The endurance rating for this is the same as that of the 9100 PRO. Get it at the link below: Samsung 990 PRO SSD NVMe M.2 PCIe Gen4, M.2 2280, MZ-V9P2T0B/AM: $149.99 (Shipped and Sold Amazon US) || $149.99 (Shipped and Sold by Newegg US) This Amazon deal is US-specific and not available in other regions unless specified.
