Default Olympic Men's Basketball starts at 9pm

Iran vs Lithuania(-29.5) 9pm
Croatia vs Russia(-4.5) 11:15pm
Greece vs Germany(+7.5) 2:30am(huh +7.5?)
China vs Spain(-21) 4:45am
Angola vs USA(-43) 8am
Argentina(-10) vs Australia 10:15am

I'm kinda surprised Germany is getting 7.5. They got Dirk and Kaman who are pretty good. But to start it off I'm taking Iran +29.5 so everyone should pound Lithuania since I suck at olympic basketball. I did go 3-2 yesterday in the womens so I'm due for a bad day.
