USA vs Brazil mens +32.5

[hougigo]

Something i'm going to write before all my picks. I'm just a normal person writing his opinion on what I think is going to happen and why. It's up to you to take my opinion and do with it as you will. I may be wrong as hell or I may happen to be right. If you think I'm wrong, post here and say why! Argument's are great and it's always better to see two sides to every coin.

Eff it gentlemen... I'm going in. I think the spread is incredibly high and Brazil is being incredibly underrated. They're not the Domincan republic, who honestly rely on only 3 players. They have a lot more depth and if it makes you feel better, players from the NBA.
They recently beat Argentina 91-75..... yup.

Nene, Tiago Splitter, Anderson Varejao and Leandro Barbosa.... couple of names on their roster from the NBA. Brazil is a bigger team and they'll be able to score pretty well on the low post. Also, Varejao and Nene weren't in the qualifiers, so they'll be much better than previous games
Now... not that the USA will bring their performance over D.R into this game... but I think they're still trying to get into their groove. They'll be going against a much better team and this'll be a great marker to see were they're at for the rest of these friendlies.
If they blow out Brazil... I'll be very surprised... but if Brazil loses, I don't think it'll be by 33 points.

So I'm going in

Brazil +32.5 @ -110

please share you thoughts

Basketball 0-0-0

I'd still lean -32 mens. Just seems like this team will always cover.

[Galego]

Agree!!! 33 it's a high number...

Best of luck to you man.
Sorry if I sound mean, but I hope you lose if you take it for obvious reasons.

[yahoonino]

i am on brasil + 33 i think it to much,,,

[Quake]

33 Does seem pretty high, this USA team is so talented though clear down the bench. Jus gonna watch & enjoy tonight.

[darko3131]

Ginobili and Delfino didn't play for Argentina fyi, neither did Barbosa as he was injured for Brazil and Nene has also been hurt recently. If this was in the olympics I'd be all over Brazil +33 but I need clarification on whose playing and for how long here. Good luck.

[darko3131]

Barbosa and Nene in uniform is all I needed to see. Brazil +32.5 locked in.

[hougigo]

Hahaha, you were able to get it in in time?

[hougigo]

Hahaha, does this splitter guy know how to shoot a free throw?

[hougigo]

Brazil was +8500...... wow

[Mexes]

i'm usually into trading but bet 100€ on brazil +32.5

I should have bet 1000...

[hougigo]

I'm not going to lie... I thought Brazil would be trailing by like 4-5 points by this point... not leading by that much.
I'm not going to lie... I love buffers

[Galego]

USA team start the game trying to make a "Show" and Brazilian team came to play as a serious game, playing hard!!!

This will not be a blow out, IMO!!

Glad a took Brazil +31.5

[hougigo]

WTF is with all these U.S misses? I'm happy USA is giving me a nice buffer... but these are some rookie ass misses.

[Galego]

See... USA just lost 2 easy baskets, just because was trying play a "Show Game"

[hougigo]

WTF is up with them trying to rain 3's too? Do they just not GAF if they win?
W/E....

[killawookie]

I bet everyone on USA spread is dumping their BR in a Brazil hedge

[Speedy88]

Whoa.....just turned the game on. Didn't expect to see us losing.

[hougigo]

Hahaha, probably... I just didn't see anyway the U.S.A would beat Brazil that badly. I mean, even if they didn't have half of their NBA starters, they'd be able to hang in there by at least 20.
This is a good squad of experienced players.

[hougigo]

And just like that, U.S is getting more physical

[hougigo]

Also.... just realized almost 8 minutes in... Brazil only score 2 points, that's a good way to give up an 11 point lead

[hougigo]

lol... Brazil just went all WNBA, what a 2nd quarter

[killawookie]

And just like that, U.S is getting more physical

Cause they saw the white guys on the Brazil team just charging into the paint drawing fouls on them.. it looked like they were suicide bombers lol

[Mexes]

to everybody that is on the +32.5 or higher

we are still in a very solid position althought brazil played as bad as they could in the last 7 or 8 minutes... if brazil makes one little run in the third quarter it should be over.. they have inside presence with nene, varejao and splitter to play some nice d and get some offensive boards, usa won't make every shot... usa by 33? I cannot see it!

the brazilian coach should not let raul neto play again tonight (although I am a fan of him)

I'm not worried about the spread being blown... but Brazil was straight outclassed that quarter... I mean, they turned the ball over 12 times and had 2 points going in 7 minutes

[Mexes]

easy bet. congrats guys

[hougigo]

easy bet. congrats guys

Whoaaa there Cowboy... the USA still has 5 minutes to score 26 straight points

[killawookie]

grats guys .. no way you guys lose this bet ..

[darko3131]

yeah snuck it in, bmaker didn't lock until 8:05. Good result - Brazil cashed with ease but the USA still won by double digits so squares will still bet them against good teams in the olympics. The better Euro teams with solid pick-and-roll games can BEAT this US team.

[hougigo]

I'm going to see some good + spreads in the near future that i'll like.
I bet the spread for the GB game will be 40+

Maybe...Brazil was the only team to give the US trouble in the world championships. They just have their number. The better Euro teams have been getting absolutely rolled by the US of late.

Well, they haven't played Spain yet

[jizay]

Well, they haven't played Spain yet

Of late...they crushed them in '08, beat them in their fourth warm up game with all new players in '10. Spain has the best team in Europe, but they also play a style too similar to the NBA. I do think it matters how US uses their personnel. If they give big minutes to Melo, Kobe, D Will they can get into big trouble.

thanks for this thread...

made sense and made a quick 500 without a sweat
