Olympic Basketball

[dontcloseyoureyes]

Call me unpatriotic but not disappointed to see Matildas lose as the hype was getting out of hand

Boomers looked good apart from a couple of stupid 3 point fouls

Always good to see successful women put in their place eh Don Draper

Not a basketball person, but I live in Footscray and some of you probably know a lot of South Sudanese people live there, I am not surprised they have a strong basketball team. I'm 6' 2" but pretty much every South Sudanese guy is taller than me.

nah

The fact is that they’re slightly above average without Kerr but our media builds them up to be world beaters because they rate well

opals/nigeria both trying to lose this

This Canada-Aus game has been a good watch.

This Canada-Aus game has been a good watch.

US-B win through though, despite the negative aura of having Dillon Brooks in their squad.

They absolutely ****ing mauled us defensively in that last quarter and we couldn't get a clear look. Can't complain when you get outplayed like that but that last three they shot at the end could **** us seeding wise.

Also Landale isn't any sort of rim protector. It's a huge problem from what I saw today. We're especially ****ed against Giannis if he turns up.

Who else do you pick tho? Thon Maker? We don't have anyone who can protect the rim.

Maybe Luc Longley could suit up again

Retired Bogut would probably still be better than Magnay

Somewhat topically, I reckon Giannis is gonna tear us a new one.

Giannis has been terrible at these Olympics and for Greece in general

Basically makes no effort at all on defence

 

[Aritro]

Nice to see the Opals getting it done after the Nigeria disaster. That Whitcomb was on fire. Big game against France next

3s game - wouldn't the US be better if they just selected some NBA stars who aren't in the full court team?

 

[ripper868]

My favourite part of this game has been whoever is in the sub box for the USA is just giving verbals at the ref and the ref just laughs at them.

Thanks Canada
