Anyone?

Argentina is the defending goal medal champion and has a very similar team coming back. I know Ginobili's injury scares some people but assuming he is 80%, aren't they clearly better? Lithuania is solid but USA did beat them by 40 and Argentina always plays US close. Argentina seems to be a little underrated here...

Its cool man, figured might as well cut the bookie out and get even money..The liquidity for these hoop games on matchbook is weak though...
