My official play is in....
Basketball - 9534 USA -24½ -110
5unit play
I'm going to rest on the O/U. Russia's foul trouble and lack of offense I think could cost the over/under. This is just the safest and most guranteed bet. With the way I've been running lately, I don't want to chase.
If I were to make a play, I would take the over though.
Honestly, I would be suprised if the PG doesn't play. She rolled her ankle, which looked pretty bad, but with all the shit these doctors have these days, who knows. As far as Jackson playing, she's playing for sure. She's been hurt, just something she's going to deal with after the olympics.
China +17 really might be the play reguardless. It's home turn for China, and I just expect the game to get a slow start. I think playing U150.5 is the right play as well. Neither team WOW you from behind the arch. I think shooting the 3pt well is the key to hitting overs.
I will wait until game #1 is over to make game #2 plays. I just want to goto bed and do more research tomorrow. I'd like to see for sure if Penny is going to play.
russia + 25 1/2
looks like i am the only one here liking them. russian coaches finally realize that hammon is not a PG and had her playing the SG in the second half of their game against spain. the TO's went way down and the russians actually played like a team. the usa has all the weapons but let's not forget that the russians had a DD lead against australia before going stone cold in the 2nd half of that game.
australia -17 1/2
china is a one man team here. that chinese PG is sneaky quick and uses her quickness to either get to the line or set up open looks for others. just don't think that china has enough firepower to keep up with this australian machine. if china isn't hitting their 3's they are up shit creek in this one....

n19dlo- The reason why they had a DD lead was Australia was stone cold the 1H. Heck, they didn't even shoot 40% for the game from the field, and less than 20% from 3pt and still managed to win by 20. If Australia killed Russia on the rebounds, you can count on TEAM USA killing them on the boards. They were out rebounded offensive boards 23 to 10, they also turned it over 15 times. If Russia gets outrebounded by 13 and 15 turnovers, you still think they can keep within 20? Scoring on half of those alone is 28 points.
