Olympics Basketball - United States v Argentina

Usa finally do not have to play against Greece so the road for the gold medal has opened.I am kidding of course,i just believe that only Greece in a perfect day could hit the Americans.Argentina on the other hand will possibly fight for a medal against Spain or Lithuania for the 3-4 places.

I do not want to say again that Argentina has only 5-6 players as in fact these guys score the 90% of the total scoring of the team and split the playing time but this is the truth.Against Greece found the way just the five of them to make a perfect game IMO as Delfino and Ginobili,especially Carlos,were shooting under pressure with unusual stats for every player who shoots under these circumstances.

The U.S. beat every opponent with a high margin and only Greece managed at least to keep them low in scoring.The main reason that makes me to back Usa is the discipline and the respect for the opponent the American team has in this tournament.Krysiewski managed to persuade all these great stars that here they have to play an organized game with also attention on defense for 40 minutes.Another reason is that i think the Argentinian coach in this game will give some extra time to the reserve players.There is no reason for example to force Prigioni or Ginobili to stay in the game for 40 minutes when the opponents lead in scoring by a big margin and Argentina has to give a more important game after two days.

I think over is also a good choice here because the U.S is expected to increase their level of performance even more as the tournament goes to the end.Over is also a good cover for the 1st bet.Why?I can not see the Americans scoring under 100 points vs Argentina even in a bad day.In case that the Latins score 82 points or more and we lose our first bet then we will cover the loss with the over pick.You can take both bets with a high stake or the first one with a medium-high stake.
