Puerto Rico looked good against the USA. This is a much easier opponent and should cruise.

Lithuania +3 is a great value. They are the European champs. Serbia and Montenegro are the best in Europe and current World champs but they are missing a lot of key players (Divac -LA Lakers, Stojakovic-SAC Kings, Jaric-LA Clippers, Milicic-DET Pistons, Gurovic-plays in Europe but a key scorer and a huge leader for this team)

Lithuania will win outright.

Brazil could win outright as well. Puerto Rico is only a threat when playing at home. Brazil is the second best team in South America.

Argentina will probably play USA for the gold. China has Yao and that's it. Not enough to play against the best team work squad in the world.

USA Basketball Loses Again

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) -- There will be no medal -- gold, silver or bronze -- for the United States at the World Championships.

In yet another stunning outcome, Yugoslavia came back from a 10-point deficit in the fourth quarter and defeated the U.S. 81-78

I've got it Rail, we should start all white guys under 5'9" and then you'd have a chance to start. How does that sound? Just slow, short, white guys with no hops but that loved to pass the ball. Wow, that sounds great!

"In an effort to avoid a similar display, the current U.S. squad is touring Europe before heading to Greece. On Wednesday, it will face Dirk Nowitzki-led Germany, which beat Italy 85-77 Sunday."

How many points is Germany getting?
