#1 Posted: 8/8/2012 4:45:34 PM USA has been dominating teams in the second half of games. Lebron and the first team tend to come out very passive/lazy defensively....and then they torch teams in the 3rd quarter.
Now that every game matters, I expect a different approach. USA will be up 55-30ish at half. I feel that team USA will come out focused on defense, and for this team the defense leads to a lot of runouts and offense.
Australia also likes to run. Patty Mills benchwarming in the league against Lebron....a huge mismatch even at their strongest spot. USA should win this in a blowout. Davis and the rest of the USA bench will play the majority of the second half....USA could win by 55 or 25, but I feel they will start out focused and strong the first half |

#5 Posted: 8/8/2012 5:34:19 PM Hoping for a cover, but doesn't look too good right now. USA just can't create any separation in the first half. They always get the other teams best punch early |

#7 Posted: 8/8/2012 5:43:44 PM Aw...They had their opportunity to separate but they keep fouling and not converting on free thros and garbage. Plus, they keep getting beat off the dribble by Tony Parker's backup. |

#9 Posted: 8/8/2012 5:49:55 PM Kobe needs to pass the rock. He's been off this whole tournament. Its like Team USA has never been close to covering the number in the first half. |
