    I demand a trial by combat!!!

    FIBA Patty Vs International Schröder

  2. PagieHD

    Refs just making up rules and decisions at their pleasure

  3. nutelamitbutter

    Aussies had no answer against our bigs. Theis and Thiemann could comfortably switch onto their guards

  4. Tobias131286

    What a game by Germany without Franz! Wow!
    Let’s go!

  5. kimoalmoa

    Giddey got fouled surely no?

    Anyway Germany look good even without Franz

  6. NazRubio

    Giddey really got screwed over being forced off the floor due to the cut or whatever

  7. Voxityy

    so many questionable coaching decisions in terms of players playing little minutes this game

  8. GaySexFan

    As an Australian? I’m disgusted.

    As a Raptors fan? Dennis Schröder baby woohoo!

  9. Shavlik

    Germany even without Franz are a great team, Schroeder was amazing today

  10. thestallion11

    Can’t shoot so badly from the free throw line and expect to win. Pretty unserious by us there

  11. Apprehensive-Sir-411

    seeing giddey and schroder go back and forth to close the game made me tear up a bit

  12. NoOneImportantOCE

    Free throws win games, cost us.

    Even if was called foul at end, like shoulda, he probably misses one of the three

  13. shunsui___kyoraku

    Patty Mills taketh Patty Mills giveth

  14. floatersforalgernon

    The announcers said that Dennis has become the first German to record +25 pts and +6 assistans in national team’s history. What a performance. Late in the game, he turned the ball over twice, which could have been critical, but he played an awesome game.

  15. Wild-Apricot-9161

    Schroder wasn’t out of bounds and Giddey was fouled.

  16. betmaster64

    Does someone have a replay of that last shot by Giddey?

  17. dys0n_giddey

    Dante having 16 minutes is a travesty. He has been our best player FFS!

    Was a good game, Germany deserved the win.

    Hopefully Goorj isn’t afraid to mix things up a bit

  18. Am I missing something? Why is Nick Kay getting so many minutes? He got absolutely cooked on defense in that fourth quarter, gave up four straight iso buckets to start the quarter.

  19. kingofnick

    Gorj coached this terribly. Hard to blame the refs when Aussie shot 56% from the line anyway. No idea why Kay played so much if they were going to play a switching defense, Germany’s guards ate him alive.

  20. Patty Mills losing the ball on drives on two crucial possessions was really inexcusable. Can’t have your crunch time PG doing that if you want to go far in the tournament.

  21. KuyaJohnny

    Good win by Germany

    Was expecting them to call a foul there at the end the way things were going. Fucking called a carry earlier lmao

  22. Rockstar408

    The rule regarding subs is:

    > If the injured player or any player who is bleeding or has an open wound, recovers during a time-out taken by either team, before the timer’s signal for the substitution, the player may continue to play.

    So, did the timer’s signal go off before the timeout?

  23. hortoclawz

    Good intense game. Great defense from both teams. Some strange refereeing decisions both ways at the end there.

    Germany’s size being the difference I think.

  24. John_DaleCP

    Giddey not being allowed to sub in because he was subbed out due to bleeding was a complete joke. Australia should have inbounded the ball, then called a timeout so Giddey could have been subbed in. In FIBA rules you cant be subbed in if the clock hasnt moved.

    Also a disastrous result to Finland, we have to beat Germany by 15 to advance. 17th place here we come.

  25. StressPretzel

    I woke up at 4am to watch Franz play. This game was so good, it didn’t matter that he sat

  26. Sillaps

    Schröder still is the best german player, even with Franz getting super good.

  27. revisioncloud

    I’m so sad rn

    Let’s go SGA and Dort

  28. SheenEstevezzz

    What the fuck was that whistle that made almost every player stop but was then just ignored by the refs???

  29. jesusatemybread

    Playing Nick Kay this many minutes is illegal….

  30. H20onthego

    We can blame the refs all we want, but the truth is Patty let us down in the 4th.

  31. I never realized how bad Giddys shot looks.
