Ioannis Bourousis and Sofoklis (aka Baby Shaq) didn't play, for two.

It sounds like Sofoklis, Antonis Fotsis and Kostas Tsartsaris will be suspended. Tsartsaris was the only bright spot for Greece against USA today, playing well in spurts.

Thanks for the information yisman. You seem to know quite a bit about this...do you like USA to win the tournament? It sounds like some of Greece's better players will be out. The only real threat I can see is Spain. And without Pau Gasol and Jose Calderon I think USA can take them down once again. Team USA has such a huge advantage depth wise- their second unit is leaps and bounds above the other teams'

agreed, USA is deep. They have quality bench players, like you'd expect. I'm not a big fan of having Iguodala on the roster and Chandler as the only center, but they still should be able to win the tournament.

The two big keys for me are that, as you said, Spain is missing two of their most important players and Greece is facing looming suspensions. I view Spain and Greece as the biggest threats.

that had to be a misprint

Is Greece -19 against China a good bet then?
