I think everyone here knows that if Kevin Garnett, Tracy McGrady, Shaq Oneal, & Kobe Bryant would of showed up to team with Tim Duncan (who rarely touched the ball) it would be a totally different story. However, 2 basic guys such as Mike Miller and Matt Harping would of been much more beneficial to the team than a few that were sent......

Whenever we hear this type of comment we Canadians are reminded of the war of 1812.

Would appear not much value with Lithuania as +1 is about where the line should be. With props ended up 6-0 vs. US. Easiest was will US lose a game in Olympics. Us not to win gold was scary. Easiest game, Puerto Rico +22 1/2. Just squeezed the value at every opportunity, and passed when it appeared dicey. Of the 4 spots I took points, 3 won outright. If I was getting 3 or more, would consider Lithuania. But I am not about to pour money back into well after too many trips.

Gold medal game a gamble on Italy's 3 point prowess. If they can shoot 18-28 they can beat anybody, including Argentina. Argentina plays the more consistent style, much better defense. But the Italians have been overlooked and underpriced much of this event, even after wake up call vs. US. Pretty good number if you can get 4. I am basically going to lock in profit of Argentina 8.50-1. Cash in, and relax. Overall Olympic hoops, 6-0 sides, 1-1 $L, 1-0 2 team parlay, 2-0 props, and future profit. 11-1 for positions. Similar to last month of NBA, just condensed to two weeks. Biggest mistake, not hitting Italy +4.65 $L yesterday. Time to sit by the dock of the bay...Best Wishes...OF

I watched Teenage Mutant Teenage Turtles with my 3 year old. Number is now 177 ov14. I have bet zero totals, nor have I capped any. Found the sides to be of better value. Overs have been clicking. Hate to count on US to make ft's or 3 pointers. Best wishes...OF

A lean for the USA to win the bronze medal today. Pace of play should be the key.

USA -117

Taking Lithuania 2nd H + 1 1/2, which is 6 1/2 for game. I think this is same exact margin as last time at the half. When was the last time the US closed out a game well. Best Wishes...OF

No sweat, was mostly middle US +1/2, to Lith +1 1/2, 2nd half. Lean on Lith. Was a nice shot. Kid hits that trey, and boom. But he missed. Timmy hung around and bit me. Carried them when he came in with 6:00 left. Have his black 2003 NBA champ jersey with gold trophy patch, dry fit, encased on my wall. I know how good he is. Oh well, helluv a shot and run. Fade the US, they got the Bronze, whooppee! Good job Ted. I earn next game no matter what. Will look for opportunities at the half. Best Wishes...OF
