Pick: +12.5 Finland @1.850 8/10
Hello.
Eurobasket semifinals. Germany vs. Finland. We are rooting for the Finns.
I underestimated the Finns a bit, but I admit it and I expected them to struggle in the quarterfinals, but I was wrong. They handled the Georgians easier than expected and advanced to the semifinals. In general, the Finns are playing as if on the wings. The team with Markkanen and other players who can shoot from afar seems solid. Like the Germans, they like a fast-paced game, so we should see a great show. The teams have already met in the group stage and the Germans completely dominated the Finns, but the Finns shot terribly from 3PT (didn't even reach 20 percent!). Today, I hope for a completely different game and the team continues to surprise me with their ease.
The Germans struggled against the Portuguese in the 3rd quarter, and against the Slovenians they struggled throughout the whole match and were even behind for the majority of it. Now in the semifinals, there is a lot of pressure for both teams to make it to the finals (since the Germans are clear favorites), while the Finns have already exceeded expectations. The handicap seems too high to me. I even think that the Finns have a chance to fight for Peru today, so I will take this handicap with satisfaction. Good luck.
