Greece vs. Germany
China vs. Spain
Angola vs. USA
Greece vs Germany could decide who will be 4th and who will be 3rd if Greeks don't defeat Americans. Nowitzki and Kaman won't be enough for Germany as Greece has much deeper squad.
Easy wins for Spain and USA.

That's true, Germany's bench is nowhere near the Greek one, but it'll be tough for the Greeks imo. I predict a Germany win <img src='http://www.talkbasket.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='

Wins for Spain and USA of course.
Congrats to Greece, a really important win for them. I somehow expected it wouldn't be so easy for them, but Kaman just didn't show up and Nowitzki was well defended from what I heard. Wish I could have watched the game.
Greece 87:64 Germany (21:23, 23:10, 25:15, 16:18)
China 75:85 Spain OT (18:20, 28:17, 15:10, 11:25, 3:13)
Angola 76:97 USA (18:29, 19:26, 16:26, 23:16)
Spain needed overtime to beat China. This could have been the biggest shock of the game so far. China were up by 14 at the beggining of the 4th quarter. Then Spain turned their defense on and controlled the game till the end.

China can't play under (full-court)presure. In the half court they are underestimated. They still have Yao and other Chinese biggs who can play ball.
