What did Puerto Rico on the ML Pay against USA basketball (Mens)

[SportSavant]

I had Puerto Rico + the 22 points but am kicking myself for not trying a small shot on Puerto RICO ML...

That would be interesting, 5dimes might be the only one to post that number. What a dismal performance. These are above average players in the NBA (young but still) with one of the top players going (Duncan). Hard to imagine that performance today, but I guess the game against Italy show what these guys are capable of.

I know the US money line was -3300 at 5 Dimes but I never looked at the PR line.

The NBA resembles the WWF more and more every day...its more of a show and not a sport nowadays....thus, teams that do play basketball, that understand team concept and that actually shoot at the basket and not just try to dunk it find it easy to drill these guys...

Does anyone really believe whatever team wins the gold medal could (if allowed to stay together) win the NBA title next year?

Wil, as long as the refs keep whistling to the tune of the show, it will be difficult for a real team to defeat the NBA boys. Put an international ref in charge of an NBA game though and you'll have Shaq sitting with 4 fouls 6 minutes into the 1st quarter....

Slim, so I guess you feel the problem with NBA is not the players but the refs or the rules the NBA uses.

Wilheim, I don't think they would even come close to a .500 record, Think 20-30 wins at the most. Usually once a year We go to Italy and my boy (20 years old) goes down to courts and plays. S, they definitely have game and there is alot of them playing. Basketball has gotten bigger worldwide than the Americans realize.
