Just saw the line for the Greece USA match is 22. Greece +22 anyone?
Nup, Got smashed by Spain and then smashed Germany by about the same margin I think. So it really depends which Greece turns up and I'm not willing guess which one.

just curious, we will have to beat both Russia (doubtful) and Lithuania (really doubtful) to have any chance of making the quarter finals right?

Gee AK played a good game, but lost it for Russia in the end with so many missed free throws and ball handling errors.

Yeah AK with some huge blocks, but really let them down at the free throw line. Really good game though, we will have to play out of our skins to stand any chance against either of those teams.

Thank god, I had Lithuania - 6.5 tonight, they won by 7, I was sweating abit.

This is f&*ked - cross to the US v Greece for all of 3 minutes then over to, surprise surprise, swimming - and heats of all things (sure the basketball may not be into finals yet but c'mon, as if there isnt enough swimming..). And here i am sitting there thinking as soon as a heat involving an australian has finished they'll cross back but NO, they replay and replay and reply then when they have replayed a little more they go to the next heat and so it continues. I realise Ch 7 have to cater for a huge spread of sporting fans but seriously, this is crap. its not the swimlympics.

Wow, I almost had to retract that, but we've headed over to the swimming again to watch them warm up and missed a replay of that kobe pass - clearly swimmers warming up and twirling their arms is more exciting..

That was the closest ive ever been to throwing something at the TV I reckon. Whats the point of showing 10 minutes of the basketball?

Then they went to the Hockey at half-time, I know it was the Aussies playing but if you start showing something, finish it. Either show the whole Hockey game, and then show a delayed replay of the USA-Greece match after, I'd prefer that than getting 10 minutes shown every hour. What's with them not letting us know what's going on aswell? I thought 'Coming Up' would mean straight after the break, not in an hour.
