    FIBA Quaterfinals - USA vs Germany

    Current line @ pinny:

    Wed 8/30 507 USA..... -25.5 -103 -7000 OVER 185.5 -102
    03:30 AM 508 Germany +25.5 -107 +5000 UNDER 185.5 -108

    I doubt many people in the US will be watching this one (6:30am EST). This time is pretty much the afternoon for me so I'm looking forward to having a game to watch instead of the GGW infomercials.

    I'm also going with the gut and parlaying Germany +25.5 & under 185.5 for a 1/2 unit.

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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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

    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

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

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

    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

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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.
