time for patty to turn into prime MJ once again
No Matisse Thybulle?
No Ben Simmons? They are going to get destroyed without their best player
Decent
Surprised to see Delly and Dyson on the roster TBH
Despite that, I like the squad, keen to see what Jock can do, and Duop, if those 2 are playing well we are a threat.
Duop Reath is an intriguing player. I know the Blazers have an influx of Centers, especially after drafting Clingan. I wonder what the asking price is for him, would be a solid backup for the Knicks.
Hate that he’s gone, but will always cheer for Josh Green and the Boomers… except against Slovenia
Damn, I would have liked to see Furphy since we just drafted him.
The team is kind of in a weird stage of development. we have a bunch of REALLY old vets (patty, joe, delly) and then the rest is quite young talent (dyson, giddey, josh etc). i dont think we have a player in their ‘basketball prime’ (27-31), im not expecting a medal but next olympics should be super interesting without any of the old guard.
Would’ve liked Matisse over Nick Kay but McVeigh over Goulding nearly makes up for it
My Boy Ben Simmons still missing
Where’s Thon?
So many guards
Decent squad. No matisse is a surprise. Would have him over nick kay who’s a massive defensive liability.
Damn, Matisse being cut *sucks*. I understand why it happened, but he was unreal for us in Tokyo and totally loveable (and the vlogs were amazing).
I suddenly find myself heavily invested in Australia this summer
Did Baynes never recover and retire?
Gonna be a tough team to knock out as always!
TIL: Dellavedova is still playing
Man that Boomers nickname was a lot cooler twenty years ago
DELLYYYYYYY
Where’s my boy Ben?
Leaving Thybulle out for Kay or Delly is so fucking dumb. Like we’re not going to medal anyway at least don’t piss off guys that are gonna play in the future tournaments.
Should be using this tournament to blood in the next generation but instead of looks like a farewell retirement tour/ boys trip to Paris.
Nick Kay made it again?? Damn, his locker room vibes must be immaculate
Cutting Thybulle is crazy. I was hoping we’d see big minutes of a Giddey/Green/Exum/Thybulle/Landale lineup with Patty coming off the bench.
Ready for Mills to average 20 ppg+.
Bloodyhell it’s over boys the Great Barrier Reath is here!!!
No Ben Simmons?
The lack of commas in the title is killing me
Ben Simmons remains one of the worst falloffs in modern history
No Thybull but Delly. All due respect but big mistake.
But Patty Mills is about to show all these kids what a true GOAT is!!
The Aussie team has some very fun players, but it’s all gonna come down to Patty Mills jacking up shots again, isn’t it?
Dude this is wild, I played on a regional team with Jack McVeigh when I was 12 years old and now he’s repping the country. Love to see it!
No Cooks or Goulding is surprising tbh.
Potential 3rd place team.
No Thybulle is crazy, over Delly. Good luck to the guys trying to guard SGA and Jamal Murray without Matisse lol.
Where is Aaron Baynes?
Hell yeah, we going for Silver this year, better come ready world!!
