Greece will be a tough opponent for US. US doesn't know how to defend the pick and roll. The Greece guards are strong and athletic. I see a 10 point win for US. 85-75.

Haha, it seriously opened at +32.5? Can't believe I missed that. I don't even follow this shit that well but even I could tell that line was way freaking off. It's down to -23 right now, more like what it should be, but I'd still lean towards Greece.

cmon the opening line was really 32.5.....its down do 23 now
fukk i missed out huge
when greece upset usa 2yrs ago the line opened at 13 and went down to11.5
I think usa doesnt want to lose to them again so coach k will have them pumped for this game
i think usa wins by 14-15

if anyone got lucky to hit the +32.5 number they have an easy middle this line will get under 20 by tip

Whoever posted the -32.5 opening line should be fired at Pinnacle. If any sharps got a hold of it early they should have pounded it hard.

Could they claim they posted a bad line and void the bets?

That'd be pretty bush league. It crept down all day, it's not like they moved it from -32.5 to -20 all in one step. They just messed up their number and should have to pay the price for it.

This looks too easy
I actually think Greece can hold it under 10 or even win.

No book could justify that though some have tried.

Seems the consensus is starting to be there's no way USA blows Greece out, sometimes that's when a team will do just that.

Didn't the US beat Angola by 20?? I'm thinking the same as Pavy...their PG is 6'7 and according to Wiki, the smallest guy they put on the floor is 6'6.

Greece line up:
Theodoros PAPALOUKAS 6'7'' / 203 lbs Guard (Euroleague MVP)
Vasileios SPANOULIS 6'4'' / 194 lbs (Played for Rockets one year)
Dimitrios DIAMANTIDIS 6'5'' / 203 lbs (best defensive guard)
Panagiotis VASILOPOULOS 6'8'' / 212 lbs (G/F)
Nikolaos ZISIS 6'5'' / 198 lbs (G)
Ioannis BOUROUSIS 7'1'' / 238 lbs (C)
Konstantinos TSARTSARIS 6'10'' / 212 lbs (F/C)
Antonis Fotsis 6'9" 220 lbs (F played for Grizzlies one year)
They also have 2-3 other big guys that can play defense and bang heads with Howard, Bosh and Boozer if needed.

the gambling god likes to screw with overconfident degenerates. the line will probably get betted down to 16 and koby and the rest of them will just blow greece out by 35 pts.

Pinnacle opened at at 32.5... for $100 a pop. No one made big money on this game.

The only significant difference between current US team and 2006 US team when these two met is Kobe Bryant. This does not justify a -32.5 line not even a -25 line.

OMG I would've put my whole life savings on Greece +32.5. The US is bunch of underachievers anyway and they just barely beat Angola. Greece is a very solid team and them getting 32.5 is just mind boggling. Too bad I missed out.
