I know they have Coby, but really hope Bulls gives Giddey the reins and let him run the team. Really want to see him become a star and not another Patty role player type.

What a game by Landale
human_toad
Landale will be the key for the Aussies going forward. He had such a impact, Magnay also impressed on defence in his limited minutes

Australia won!
Santi played well.
Got what I wanted.

It’s kind of sad watching Llull and Rudy Fernandez out there without the Gasols, Sergio Rodriguez, Rubio, Navarro, Garbajosa, etc. They did what they could, but this team just isn’t good enough. Feels like the world caught up and then passed them by, and there’s nothing Llull and Rudy could do about it.
New fans won’t understand just how awesome Spain’s team was even 12 years ago.

FIBA Patty is greater than Jordan and Lebron’s lovechild.

Great game Australia! Patty, Giddy, and Jock were killing it.

If McVeigh fouls another 3 point shooter I’m gonna retract the apology I gave to him after his clutch three!

It was good to see McVeigh playing confidentally and not afraid to shoot the ball. Always felt like Goulding played so passively in international ball.

This is what happens when Spain runs out of Gasols.

Good game. Could have gone either way. Both teams had solid runs.
Unsure about the reffing. Will be interesting how physical the games are and block versus charge calls. Plus letting a shooter land versus shooter kicking out or flopping.
Is there a ref challenge in the olympics like the NBA? seems yes but one per game only, even if you win the challenge.
Giddey and Mills both had 5 turnovers. Brown for Spain had 7.
Daniels and Green played great defence on the ball. Daniels shot well too.
Great game. McVeigh did McVeigh 3 of 6 from 3. Some great plays and some nervous plays (fouling Aldama on two 3s…).
Landale was great. Hope he gets NBA time somewhere (trade to Chicago to team up with Giddey? They had good chemistry).
Great to see these games begin. I love how the players really care about the games!
