It's the battle for survival for the remaining Final Eight for that elusive basketball gold and supremacy. If you blink and loose focus at these stage it's bye bye time for you.
Lithuania vs. China. Lithuania must be very upset loosing to the Aussies in their last game. But Lithuania should have no problem disposing home country China, unless of course they play bad and China play superb like their game against Spain, China can likely upset Lithuania. My choice to make it to the semis= Lithuania.
Spain vs. Croatia. World Champion and last Olympics weeping boys, Spain is raring to make it to the next round and somehow forget what happened to them in 2004. Croatia may give up a good fight but I still predict that Spain will prevail.
Argentina vs. Greece. Two of Team USA past tormentor in the last four years.This quarterfinal match up would be the greatest among the match up. Intensity wise, this series have it, and when your country is at stake, players from both of these squad will surely pumped up their adrenalin. Expect the defending champion Argentina to defend it all cost.My choice is the Argentinian team, why because mainly of Manu Ginobili. Ginobili's experience and leadership can spark up his team.
USA vs. Australia. Australia is the only team which USA had not blown up, even during its exhibition game. I am pretty sure that Team USA will go all the way with their guns blazing. They have a mission and that is to return to Basketball supremacy. The Aussies might get short in upsetting Team USA.
Let the game begins!
