I browsed the betting website and the odds/spread of the game between USA vs Serbia has not changed, still the spread is high at 15.5, can the US team cover this spread? We might be deceived on their performance against South Sudan and Germany where the games were close.
To be honest, their performance against South Sudan was unexpected. Either the South Sudanese players were so good in this game, or the US players were too relaxed. Either way, I am still of the opinion that the US team, with so many all-star NBA players on their roster, will have no problem taking gold medals at the Olympics.
Yes, South Sudan really looks solid and they have built a good basketball program that's why it's no surprised that they have pushed the American so hard that we can smell an upset.
But Lebron take this personally and again, shows that he can lead this team. So yeah, chances for US is very high to get that gold medal again and make history for a 5th straight in the podium.
