Pretty quiet on the Olympic front, almost like certain folk are rooting for failure. Decent win against the old, ageing foe...

No guarantee yet.

They could easily lose the next two. 11 point dogs to US, and they'll be dogs to either France or Slovenia as well.

ah true, not trying to jinx them, but with how well they've been playing they could handle france/slovenia or at the least I think they make it a very good game

Sigh.

Australia has been in this position so many times.

We'll lose to the US.

Then normally we drop the Bronze medal game..

I would love to see a miracle upset vs the US, but we'd have to really play incredible. Plus the draw of a Slovenia vs US Final and Luka pulling off his own miracle would be some storyline.

I hope we get a close game Aus vs US at least.

Come on dude, did Ben Simmons pull a Delonte West on your Mum or something?

You bring up his name every chance you get. Did you see that shrink?

He's been phenomenal.

Bright future.

Very happy Jock gets a gig with the Spurs.

And excited about Giddey also.

Ben Simmons who? Lol

I sort of want an Australia-Slovenia gold medal game. I think it would be better for basketball globally

they aren’t really getting good looks, it’s all forced 3’s, not moving the ball for an open shot.

I don't think Durant can sit the rest of the game if USA wants to win.
