    Default FIBA Americas Championship: Finals (Prediction)

    So here we are last day of the tournament. Granted it doesn't really mean anything for most teams save arguably Puerto Rico, if only to win in front of their fans. Still we have prediction contest to finish! So lets get to it.


    Canada vs. Argentina: Canada is playing above their heads, and might catch Argentina sleepwalking. Argentina though even off their game seem more capable than Canada. Argentina

    Puerto Rico vs. Brazil: Brazil out played them the last time in the final minutes of the game, but Puerto Rico still one. It's not much to play for, but Brazil would like to shed the disappointment role, and Puerto Rico is gonna likely have a sellout crowd behind them. I think the crowd tips it. Puerto Rico
    The Rules learned in the Prediction game.
    1: Brazil is always disappointing
    2: Never dismiss Argentina solely because of age.
    3: Never bet against Spain in a knockout game, unless it is against the US.

    Argentina blows out Canada after today's disappointing finish; then Puerto Rico repeats against Brazil, this time they won't collapse like last time.

    Argentina takes out their frustration on Canada. They get bronze in a blowout.

    Brazil learns from the last loss against Puerto Rico and beats them in a close game to take gold.

    Puerto Rico should win. Previous game, Puerto Rico let Brasil get back in the game so many times...Puerto Rico were up by over 15 and had a lot of spurts.
    PR gave up a lot of turnovers...etc.
    Its crazy though, PR has been so HOT from the 3pt line, they have to go cold atleast one game...I'm hoping it isn't this game.

    As for Argentina/Canada...Argentina is the favorite...I just wished DR would of qualified...A team with Flores/Garcia/Villanueva/Horford/Martinez should be better than they stand.


    I got PR winning 75 - 70

    don't forget Brasil was playing without their best player.

    3rd straight game we lose the first quarter by 5+. Our starters are becoming too dependant of our bench.

    Puerto Rico cuts it under 10 at the buzzer. Gives the crowd something to cheer about for half time.
