Basketball Betting Lines
07/28/2010 -
Colorado Springs, CO (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - USA Basketball announced Wednesday the
15 finalists for its 2010 USA World Championship Team.
USA Basketball chairman Jerry Colangelo selected the finalists from a group
that assembled in Las Vegas earlier this month to open training for the 2010
FIBA World Championship, which will be held August 28 through September 12 in
Turkey.
The finalists include: Chauncey Billups (Denver Nuggets); Tyson Chandler
(Dallas Mavericks); Stephen Curry (Golden State Warriors); Kevin Durant
(Oklahoma City Thunder); Rudy Gay (Memphis Grizzlies); Eric Gordon (Los Angeles Clippers); Danny Granger (Indiana Pacers); Jeff Green (Oklahoma City Thunder); Andre Iguodala (Philadelphia 76ers); Brook Lopez (New Jersey Nets);
Kevin Love (Minnesota Timberwolves); Lamar Odom (Los Angeles Lakers); Rajon
Rondo (Boston Celtics); Derrick Rose (Chicago Bulls); and Russell Westbrook
(Oklahoma City Thunder).
The team will reassemble August 9 in New York City and train there from August
10-16. The team will need to be further narrowed to 12 prior to the start of
the competition.
"We had an outstanding week of training camp in Las Vegas and it is apparent
we have a group of guys that are very focused, committed, and desirous of
playing for USA Basketball. The identity of the team is still evolving, but it
is pretty obvious we're going to be very athletic; we're going to be very
strong in the back court; we think our shooting ability is underestimated,"
stated Colangelo.
"We have much more to do in New York and in our upcoming exhibition games as
we proceed toward Turkey, but we're excited and enthusiastic about our
chances."
The 2010-12 USA National Team coaching staff is led by Duke's Hall of Fame
coach Mike Krzyzewski, while Syracuse's Hall of Fame coach Jim Boeheim, New York Knicks head coach Mike D'Antoni and Portland Trail Blazers head coach
Nate McMillan are assistants.

It's less than a month until the NHL hockey betting season opens at MySportsbook.com and preparations are underway for another battle in the race to hoist Lord Stanley's mug in 2007.
As cup crazy fans prepare to place their bets, one online sportsbook ,MySportsbook.com, is offering hockey betting lines on the 2007/2007 Stanley Cup , who will bring it home this upcoming season.
Despite a poor showing in last season's playoffs and the loss of Steve Yzerman to retirement, the Detroit Red Wings are early favourites at this online sportsbook with wagering odds of 6-1. The Wings will look to offensive powerhouse Pavel Datsyuk and newly appointed captain Nicklas Lidstrom to lead one of the league's most prominent franchises.
Always a threat are the Ottawa Senators, with newly acquired goaltender Martin Gerber from the Stanley Cup champion ,Carolina Hurricanes. The Sens are second best in the rankings at a 7-1 bet, and odds makers at this sportsbook are optimistic that the Ottawa squad will fare better than last season's Eastern Conference semi-final upset to the Buffalo Sabres.
Also worth noting are the defending Stanley Cup champs Carolina Hurricanes, a 10-1 bet to repeat. Behind the Canes are the New Jersey Devils, Calgary Flames, Buffalo Sabres, Philadelphia Flyers, and Anaheim Mighty Ducks all sit at 12-1. In the basement are the Washington Capitals, Chicago Blackhawks, and St. Louis Blues who all have 100-1 odds to win.
