**jjgold** · 07-12-12, 05:40 AM

Did not see any

They might loaf

**iQon** · 07-12-12, 06:44 AM

DR's team is horrible.

Exhibition game, I'd blindly play USA -23. Real game up to, -49.5

**Le_Donk** · 07-12-12, 07:19 AM

-42 on pinnacle

**jjgold** · 07-12-12, 07:20 AM

pass

usa might let up

**beefcake** · 07-12-12, 07:39 AM

Are you kidding me guys?Dom just lost the biggest game in Team history on Sunday not qualifying for the Olympics.Their heads will not be in this at all,dont really think they want to be here and could get slaughtered. I would lay the USA -99.5 in this game.

**hougigo** · 07-12-12, 09:11 AM

Dom just lost to Nigeria.... they only rely on 3 players too. When they're out, that's slaughterhouse.

**HoulihansTX** · 07-12-12, 09:12 AM

Any NBA players on Nigeria?

I think al farooq aminu but what does that have to do with dr?

**HoulihansTX** · 07-12-12, 09:31 AM

DR lost to Nigeria. Both teams are irrelevant on a worlwide scale, but I wonder what made Nigeria better than DR.

The fact they have a deeper roster than D.R
D.R relies too much on their NBA talent, so there really isn't much going for them when they're not on the floor.

**thetrinity** · 07-12-12, 09:56 AM

Coach cals at the helm sumthin shady culd go on at this game with him invvolved lol. In all seriousness this is the olympics for dr players now.

**hougigo** · 07-12-12, 10:57 AM

-42... doesn't even seem that bad. Kind of wide... but still
I'd laugh if that was the score by halftime

**zoo youk** · 07-12-12, 01:09 PM

Kobe has commented as other players as well....saying they are going to "crush" all of the competition.

**bleek88** · 07-12-12, 01:10 PM

-40 at my book

**bleek88** · 07-12-12, 01:11 PM

ill prolly take it for a unit

**ragiche** · 07-12-12, 01:12 PM

my local book offers me USA 40.5 and an O/U 180. Just took the under for 5u.

**hougigo** · 07-12-12, 02:37 PM

Under should hit IMO. USA will blow them out and it won't even be close. All you got to worry about is USA scoring less than 120 points

**baskets** · 07-12-12, 02:58 PM

1. fading a USA over in int'l hoops is dangerous... they almost always have ability to top 100
2. game don't mean shit. lollygag-ville

Spain was a 27 pt fave or something vs. GB the other day.... won by 4 pts

I'd expect a walk thru practice-style game. If anything, I'd play the dog here. 2nd I'd take the over.

But I'd do all for about $2.

games have yet to begin

He's right. Belgium is leading France right now and their spread was pretty high too (not as high as the U.S spread)

**hawley** · 07-12-12, 05:00 PM

These team USA prikks will be trying to replicate and better everything that the Dream team did throughout their olympic campaign.

I don't see them going easy on anyone.

Is this their first game since the scrimmages? Hopefully some books put up 1h lines

**CanuckG** · 07-12-12, 05:04 PM

yeah first game pretty sure

**UntilTheNDofTimE** · 07-12-12, 05:08 PM

What time does game start? Is there a exibition schedule?

**CanuckG** · 07-12-12, 05:10 PM

6pm pacific

**UntilTheNDofTimE** · 07-12-12, 05:11 PM

Cannuck is it on espn?

**CanuckG** · 07-12-12, 05:12 PM

yea

**Sport_Fish** · 07-12-12, 05:23 PM

which canadian channel is it gonna show at ? ?

**baskets** · 07-12-12, 05:44 PM

fukk this shit

just took over for 200

pretty sure US will have 2 qtrs of 30+. then 2 more producing at least 50.

DR should throw in at least 67, likely anything above 70.

113-78

on the over with you

**jjgold** · 07-12-12, 05:57 PM

Will watch

best thing on in a week

Canuck send me like 30 photos

**baskets** · 07-12-12, 06:00 PM

you get one qtr of 56 pts (which will definitely happen) ... and that leaves just 3 more qtrs of roughly 41 pts/qtr

hard to see how that's not possible

You're really optimistic on the D.R. scoring. IMO, they scored that much against Nigeria and Macedonia (well, a +/- 10 error)
the U.S.A will be much better defensively though.
It's up to the U.S to make a majority of the over.... all hell will break lose though when Horford and the other 2 NBA players for the D.R are not in

**muchochiz** · 07-12-12, 06:23 PM

Hi Guys , i am interested in placing a bet in this game in favour of USA winning but i am a newbie in this . My bookie offers the following options.
POINT SPREAD:
USA -41.0

GAME TOTALS
over 179.5

TEAM TOTALS -ODD OR EVEN
USA ODD-1.90/ EVEN 1.90

GAME TOTAL-ODD
USA ODD-1.90

Which of this would you advise i play on ? which is less dangerous or more favourable.

**vincanity15** · 07-12-12, 06:37 PM

Don't forget its 10min quarters

**InTheDrink** · 07-12-12, 06:44 PM

After Jordan embarrassing Kobe today they'll be trying to save face

Theyll run it up as high as they can

Remember this though....USA will struggle against teams with anything close in talent and are strong rebounding teams.
