FIBA Quaterfinals - USA vs Germany

**rm18** · 08-30-06, 12:11 AM

Germany +7.5 4th quarter looks like a very strong play to me

**bigboydan** · 08-30-06, 01:08 AM

RM, what did this line open at anyways ?

**rm18** · 08-30-06, 01:41 AM

26? maybe, I got +27.5 -130 at Cris, not sure if it was worth buying the full point or not, but I really can't see the U.S. covering by more than 5 or so, so I bought it.

Doesn't get much stronger than that!

USA after 6 games:
1Q: +40
2Q: +63
3Q: +51
4Q: +1

Where'd you get that BidDaddy?

I thought Espn would carry the US/Germany and the France/Greece game but they aren't in my area. Now I gotta go back to watching those Girls Gone Wild infomercials again.

Wow that is a strong play. I see Pinny's already juiced it up. It's +7.5 -123. I'm in for 2 units still.

Glad to see I'm not the only night owl around here.

**dcheng** · 08-30-06, 04:51 AM

i got first q +8...seems us starts slow

**darkghost** · 08-30-06, 05:22 AM

Greece 73 France 56

The trend for the first 3 quaterfinal games have been the favorite and the under, let's hope it ends here.

After Q1: US 23 - Germany 21

Never in doubt! Good call, dcheng!

What a sorry call on that continuation call.

**darkghost** · 08-30-06, 06:24 AM

Wow US in a dogfight although they can't be shooting any worse. Lots of missed open 3's (5 for 20) and lay-ups.

At the half: US 40 - Germany 39

**goldengoat** · 08-30-06, 06:46 AM

why are the announcers screaming the whole game?

**goldengoat** · 08-30-06, 06:55 AM

usa defense and rebounding is carrying them

shooting is obviously atrocious

lebron out of control again just like in '04 but still good in spots

they better get this bad shooting out of their system now

**Dark Horse** · 08-30-06, 07:03 AM

US breaks it open. Up by 15 pts at end of 3Q. We needed that for a more relaxed 4Q.

**darkghost** · 08-30-06, 07:06 AM

We're on the same page DH. I was typing the same thing.

**goldengoat** · 08-30-06, 07:12 AM

the rebounding difference is about as shocking as the missed threes by the usa

**rm18** · 08-30-06, 07:14 AM

I was a little worried I would be in a bad spot if it was really clos going in to the 4ht, but 15 actually was probably the perfect spot, big enough lead for complacency, small enough to slow the pace down, Germany up 6-5 through 4 minutes

**Dark Horse** · 08-30-06, 07:26 AM

That was a lot closer than it should have been. Idiotic Germans couldn't score a bucket. Anyway, a W is a W. lol

**darkghost** · 08-30-06, 07:27 AM

WOW!!! Nothing's ever easy huh fellas. Had to sweat that last 3 pt attempt but we get the cover. Thanks rm18 for the info.

**rm18** · 08-30-06, 07:28 AM

Yeh I was pretty worried when they went to the scrubs at the end of the game, that would have been crazy if some people would have got a win or a push if Flash hits that shot.

**Dark Horse** · 08-30-06, 07:34 AM

Same 4Q play for next US game against Greece.

**dcheng** · 08-30-06, 12:53 PM

nice angle on the 4th q..gl

**Dark Horse** · 09-01-06, 01:12 AM

The game against Greece tips off in an hour and twenty minutes. US a 12.5 pt favorite, but Pinny doesn't have the lines up for the quarters yet. May not be a 4Q play tonight.

**bigboydan** · 09-01-06, 01:42 AM

i see everyone and there brother in on the U.S.A. tonight according to the carib conesensus nuimbers.

Greece vs USA (FIBA World Basketball Championship Semifinals)
USA 94.39%
Greece 5.61%
1284 Bets

i know this greece team has been playing togather for a long time, and 12.5 points does seem to be very nice. the problem with me on this one is the chalk seems to be cashing in at a very high rate in this tourney.

**Dark Horse** · 09-01-06, 01:46 AM

If I'm playing on the US, it will be the 2H. Against stronger opponents (Italy and Germany) US has waited until the 2H to bring it on.

Still no 4Q at Pinny.

**Dark Horse** · 09-01-06, 03:28 AM

halftime: Greece 45-41.

2H line is USA -9... Thoughts?

**Dark Horse** · 09-01-06, 03:49 AM

Greece up 14 pts with 15 minutes to go... Whoa.

**imgv94** · 09-01-06, 03:55 AM

USA will comeback and win..

**Dark Horse** · 09-01-06, 03:58 AM

You think? Greece up 12 with 10 minutes left. US has NO defense.

**imgv94** · 09-01-06, 04:03 AM

dribble penetration has broken down the Greece defense..

**imgv94** · 09-01-06, 04:08 AM

I don't think the US wants to win..
