It was a really close game, but it looks like Doncic had a bad performance during this match, considering that he scored only 5 out of 18 field goals. Anyway, congrats to everyone who bet on France to win this match. So France and the USA are in the final, and I guess the USA will win gold medals again.

That was really close. Betted on Slovenia here, no hard feelings though as I only betted small. More than likely, the odds for USA is very low so don't know if it will be worth to bet on them. Let us see what odds will be given to France by bookies. If you are a risk taker, you can bet on France, who knows for some reason, they will beat USA? Wink

That block was the highlight of the game, Slovenia could have won that game despite having an injured Luka. This FRANCE vs USA rematch is interesting, I'm sure France will still be the underdog, if we can't trust them to win, I think it's good to gamble on them through the handicap.

What a sad moment for the Slovenia team. They did great and the game was really tight that they had the chance to win it.
But Batum, he won it with his specialty, his defensive awareness and a game winning block. We don't see it happen a lot of times, mostly in NBA only.
i.e. Lebron block, Iguodala, Ginobili.
That was fun though, real exciting game. Slovenia still has a chance to win the bronze medal and that will be their first medal in Basketball Men.

Slovenia had a strong comeback in the 4th quarter but they fell short. So now, we will again see the first game (FRANCE vs USA), it's a rematch and I like this one since France had proven they did not win by luck alone, I'm sure they will still give a problem to the USA, so let's back the FRANCE to win the spread.

Slovenia vs France about to begin
cant decide
i see 2019 WC was bad for Slovenia while France was doing good
current session both are great

Why not go for the favorite which is Slovenia unless you are from France?

Slovenia are the odds favorite because of Luka. I put a small bet on Slovenia -2.5 and hopefully they can cover the spread. I know that France is very strong as well, but Luka has been taking his NBA style of play into the Olympics. But Slovenia's offense is very fluid thanks to Luka. France though has Gobert, the reigning defensive player of the year, but I think Slovenia will opt more on outside shot in this game.

Nice game, this should be a close game, France has proven that they are a strong team by beating the USA, so I think even if they are the underdog here, I will still on them to win. No need to take the point spread for me, I'll go with France for straight-up win, I have 2.38 them winning, good luck.

Slovenia started well but France was able to come back and cut the lead to only 2after the first half.

France is +3.5 now in my book, they might win here or cover the spread, good luck to us guys.
I'm happy watching this fight as it turns out as what I expected it to be.

placed bet on France moneyline on HT break
i liked numerous blocks of France in game stats

Looks like they are winning this game, they are on the lead now by 9 points, they have a good 3rd quarter run and I think it will continue in the 4th of iff not, at least they'll have a comfortable lead going to the 4th quarter.

score now 67-58, France leading.

It's just the first half win for the Aussies. After it was cut to a small deficit they didn't have the chance to take it back. Booker, Durant, and Tatum combined was too much for them raining with outside shots. But I think Coach Pop and Steve Kerr is still mad at the first half results. If USA will play against France/Slovenia they cannot start like that. Their engines should be on fire already from the beginning or else they will lose it. At the last minutes of the game I can still see some sloppiness from them. Some broken passes and missing lay-ups. It could've been a 30 point lead at the end.

Exactly, I will also go with Team USA here, Durant is just peaking at the right time, during the eliminations many has question the team, specially Durant with his bad shooting. But now him and other team USA is on the peak, and we all know that if they blend, it's hard to stop this stars. One might have a bad night, but there could be someone that can spark the team. No one can guard KD on the Australian side. They really need to have a perfect plan to beat Team USA.

It's really tough as Aussie still hanging it's now 9 point lead by the team US, third quarter now and KD is again leading team US
in this game, still have a lots of time if Aussie will try to push this game.

But if they'll not find a good blend for sure team US will take this as Booker and Holiday is also taking their own individualities.

One more quarter to come after this 2 minutes, still impressive for team US they hanging from that 9 point deficit.

I'm not sure if US can "destroy" Australia here. Australia is a very good team because it also boosted with NBA stars. So if ever US will win, it's going to be a close match, so I'm not sure if US can cover the odds of -11.5 currently. Sharing my bet on the US vs Spain last game:

So I will go with the same bet, +11.5 @1.94.

For me, they can. I will take the highest risk at -13.5 for USA.
It's not that I don't trust Australia but in terms of backup players, we know the USA has a lot of players available that they can use while their best players are having their rest.
Matisse Thybulle will be assigned with KD but no one can really defend that dude.
Jrue Holiday will try to stop Patty Mills with his speed and height advantage. Australia's high-performance game will be their clutch to win the semis.

I'm also the opinion that USA will remain unstoppable in today's game vs Australia, and it's going to take more than just a bad day in the office for Australia to cause an upset, KD would probably set the pace of the game.

I'm going with Team USA -11.5

Hi,

I do not think it is the most appropriate adjective but, Yes, the USA wins its right to dispute the "assured" gold medal even if in the other game a surprise happens and it has to face the Ghost of France...

Anyway, Australia is going to playing a good game because it has good team and two players who play in the NBA, one that I do not forget never "Ingles"

So I think everything is written, only to watching good encounters, no surprises, please teams, thank you.

I'm sure that there will be no surprises, USA is expected to win against the Boomers, maybe we only need to know what will be the lead, if they can cover the -11.5 spread on them.

No disrespect to Australians, they have a solid team this year and they have beaten team US if I'm not mistaken twice already in an exhibition match. But this is different, US team and coaches are hone it right now and looking to extend their dominance on basketball with a win here.

This morning, we are going to have a wonderful game between USA and Australia. If it wasn't too early in my local time, then I would really like to watch this one. But I see it as very obvious that USA will just destroy their opponent with a big effort. I'm curious about Durant's performance. I guess he would score 25+ points.
