This is for pride. Today's live stream of Team USA vs. Argentina is an exhibition round matchup to get the U.S. team in shape for Tokyo. And they should do so soon - the team dropped both of their first two games. On Saturday, they lost to Nigeria 90-87, and yesterday they were trounced by Australia 91-83.

And that is sort of forgivable. These games, in which Team USA's offense is in complete disarray, are taking place in the shadow of the NBA Finals. Predictably, these teams have never played together before. That doesn't change the expectations on the shoulders of the superstars.

Currently, Team USA has star players like Kevin Durant of the Brooklyn Nets, Bradley Beal of the Washington Wizards, and Damian Lillard of the Portland Trail Blazers. Give this team enough time, and they should get a lot better.

Although, one wonders how well they are getting along with NBA owners. You never know when the next banana boat team (remember how LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, Carmelo Anthony, and Chris Paul got along so well in public?

But that's a problem for another day. Here is everything you need to know to find out if Team USA can beat Argentina or end up 0-3.

Sling Blue also has NBC SN, so if you want to watch NBC SN, this is the package (which you can access with one of the best TV antennas).
