    FIBA Patty and Mr “Basketball is my Weakness” is the best back court in the history of basketball.

  2. imaginelizard

    Finland just got blown out in the 2nd half. Thought it would be competitive.

  3. bluelakers

    One way ticket to Exum island, see you there.

    Still fuck Yabusele

  4. jett1406

    Huge turnaround by the aussies. This was probably the deciding game as to who gets through so it’s a massive win

  5. dys0n_giddey

    Someone needs to post the Exum highlight video in the Mavs sub

  6. dys0n_giddey

    Exum Island is taking openings – enquire within

  7. PolPotato

    I’m going to be fucking devastated when Patty hangs his shoes up

    Great win boys, looked sketchy in the first half but pulled through and got it done in the second.

    Will need a 4 quarter performance to beat Germany though.

    If Exum does not get adequate minutes in Dallas, I’ll be pissed. What a player we had over here.

  10. European coaches are so stubborn with NBA players on their team man.

    Euroleague guards have their playmaking routinely exposed against NBA level defenders, but they’ll just let them dribble out 20 seconds every single time instead of letting the star work. Greek coach did this same shit last world cup with Giannis

    Would’ve been nice if I was able to watch this in Australia without paying Murdoch for a subscription 😡

    Edit: turns out it was free on Kayo, at least I only missed round one 😭

    That was so fun. Absolute domination from the 2nd quarter onwards.

  13. Apprehensive-Sir-411

    i’m giddy for giddey and excite(d) for white

  14. bluetiges

    Still have a lot of land on Exum island and I’m not selling any of it

  15. Iivosuperplayer

    Sad second half, Australia is just too good. Hoping for a Patty Mills MVP run to the finals, love that guy. Fuck Giddey tho (he’s too good)

  16. LarschH

    Really no good second half from Finland would have wished for the game to be more exciting

  17. Fun-Investment-1729

    Honest question, would Australia have a better basketball team if AFL wasn’t such a huge sport there?

  18. duncanhoopz

    Some team will get lucky signing Reath. Also Exum break out szn.

  19. Victor_Wembanyama1

    Lauri can’t win with these cats 🙁

  20. Butterfly_Scape

    exum got signed as a frank ntilikina replacement for us but i genuinely think he’s gonna be better..

  21. Verbarmammilla

    Pretty pumped with how the Boomers turned it around after a shaky start. We look good on D and when we control the tempo.

    I’ll be cheering for Finland to make it through as well though! 🐺
