    I have never placed a bet on basketball, is there a big difference between betting on football vs betting on basketball?

    As far as what? I would like to think bball is my strongest (more knowledgeable) sport, not from a capping perspective either.

    The Serbians can play and are getting a lot credit for their domination of Greece. Rightly so. Bogdanovic is Serbia's best player/scorer and can shoot the 3 ball with the best nba 3 ball shooters. Barbosa will guard him and will be up for the challenge. Bottomline, Brazil is too talented from top to bottom and their Bigs will be too much for Serbia throughout the game. It's gonna be a great game.

    Not just NBA players but proven NBA players and major contributors to their respective teams.

    Serbia came to play. Let's see if they can sustain it. Game of runs right now.

    Yeah me too. Based on first half, Serbia is controlling the game in the halfcourt and has more skilled players. Only way Brazil can cover is if they get stops and get out and run. Serbia is killing them in the halfcourt game. Oh well, I don't regret my picks though.

    both teams did not play well.. some hot shootings at the beginning of each quarter and then some crap offensive performance.

    i find it interesting to see that the books still make Brazil favorite considering pre-game line.. are they really expecting brazil to win? or to trap?

    Kills me when pro basketball players don't communicate on defense. Going under in screen, not switching and leaving good shooters wide open. Brazil did that several times.

    Solid guard play! Parents, teach your kids to dribble and shoot no matter what size they are.

    They didn't take advantage of their strengths. Varejao was the only one competing. Serbia has several of those hybrid players.
