AUSTRALIA-ARGENTINA, AUSSIE'S Pick

I hate myself for doing this, but couldn't resist! Have had an awesome day so far ..but someone should have warned me that gambling is quite addictive!
Anyway, let's get on with this - There is no way (famous last words!!!) that this is going over the total. If Australia chooses to have a shoot out fest with the Argentines, they're doomed to get blown out of the stadium. I don't think Brian G. would allow his team AND HIMSELF to be utterly embarrased like that. I've got in mind that His team the Sydney Kings boasts one of the best D's in the Australian league, thanks to his coaching philosophy (not that it says much when it comes to international ball though) But I really believe that Anstey, Bogut and co will apply a much better defence tonight than what they did against the Croats. Although, not much you could do against the Croatians as they made it rain 3's the other night.  I dont think Argentina will be allowed to score at will here, and certainly the Aussies won't shoot the lights out either.
Add to this equation, that this is a must win game for either team, and that makes the under a smart a solid play. It's gone up to 161.5 now - Let's collect the paper with this one fellas
Pick UNDER 161.5 3 Unit play, locked and loaded
AUSSIE

Hey Aussie - I don't post much in the NBA forum (maybe cause its summer) lol, but I always check out your threads to see who you're on. I really have know idea about this game but I have noticed the international game really rewards defence and I think most of these totals are over inflated, because most people will cap them like the NBA which is a much different game. I'm not saying to bet all games under because there are definitly games that will cruise over but I'll be very interested to see at the end of the tournament what percent of these games have gone under. I'll bet it's pretty high. I'd be interested in any thoughts you have on this and best of luck with your plays.

Boomers were dreadful on 'D' against the Croats, expect Goorj to have them primed for a much better effort tonight

Aussie,

 

Tailing you on this one. I was born in Argentina but here in the US since I was a little kid. I always root for my boys from Argentina (especially in soccer). I don't follow international b-ball much but will be rooting for my S. American team against your homeland while still hoping for good D and get the win here.

 

BOL today.

 

Matty

Just goes to show that for all the talk and hype and hope for a medal, Australia simply doesn't have the players to get it done yet.

 

This boomers team absolutely trained their asses off before Beijing, yet here they are getting schooled again.
