I agree with Rail. They still can't make wide open shots and aren't good FT shooters. Great athletes but decent basketball team. Just because you can beat up on slower non-athletic teams doesn't make you awesome or great. With that being said I'm on USA -19 1/2 so I want them to stomp a mudhole into these anal lovers

Well greece is one of the better teams they will play so them beating them down is a good sign... its all about will for this team they can call out a spread and cover if they want to

Im not impressed

Funny you say that, because I talked to some of the USA players last night and they mentioned how unimpressed they were with your Olympics handicapping thus far.

Guess you all just aren't fans of each other. Oh well.

credit where credit is due. this team is much more talented and better than any USA team in a long time.

they are very far from the teams of people who felt they were doing USA basketball a favor by risking their health to show up.

linesmakers have adjusted, USA is no bargain to bet on, but they are putting on a show.

Being the better of lamer don't make you great or deserve applause to me. Everyone keeps saying the US can call how much they will win. Oh really then beat the living shit out of them then, hit open shots and free throws. BTW as I type this, the US is hotdogging and not scoring and the Greek are attempting to come back.

Based on what I've seen, Spain is the only team who has a chance of staying with the USA for an entire game. Only team with the skills players, the toughness, and the depth. Not saying Spain will hang with them, though.

I've been really unimpressed with the competition in this Olympics, especially the overall guard play (with the exception of a few players here and there). Spain has depth and quality at the guard spot and is least likely to succumb to the defensive pressure of the USA.

This game should be out of reach but US still can't hit wide open shots and have had a few defensive lapses in the 3rd quarter. Did they prepare for off screen plays and give n gos?
