So ****ing disrespectful to Reath.
He should’ve just played for South Sudan.

Instead play Kay and McVeigh? **** off

 

[FreoRicci]

We played dumb offense in the third. Luckily McVeigh got us out of the shit with some clutch threes. He must be close to an NBA two way contract at a minimum?

He is on a two way with Houston

Goorj is forever a problem

McVeigh is playing well tbf

 

[FreoRicci]

On comes Kay.
Incredible coaching

 

[FreoRicci]

Delly has played 0 minutes today.
Yet Thybulle isn’t selected

 

[eth-dog]

On comes Kay.

Sorry, but this one's on the players. We've been making dumb mistakes on offense trying to go quickly, going for hero steals, instead of playing smart defence and slowing it down.

 

[FreoRicci]

What’s the rules regarding dual representation at FIBA/Olympics ?
Reath should just play for South Sudan

Didn’t wise up to Giddey being double teamed. Mills on the bench for too long
Reath not playing all quarter is pathetic

 

[Drummer_19]

Is Brian Gorjian brain dead and just spinning a wheel for who come's on and off? The players shat their pants in the second half, but he just consistently has the worst combos out there. 2mins left, gotta get McVeigh in.

 

[FreoRicci]

What a difference having a defensive stopper in Brooks huh. Pity Australia don’t have one… oh wait. Matisse much ?

 

[Big_Luch]

Alot of this is a talent deficit. But look they needed brooks and Barrett to do alot of work.

Since when can Barrett shoot?

He’s underrated.
Doesn’t get minutes in NBA really.
Don’t believe it is.

It’s coaching.
McVeigh and Magnay ahead of Reath and Exum?
Yeah, nah, NBL isn’t that good

 

[ReidBetweenTheLines]

We need Green, Giddey and a couple of others to train off-season Exum. The improvement in Exums 3pt shooting is testament to hard work.

 

[Jacks Seething Rage]

Goorj is forever a problem

Pretty well this.

Who is underrated and doesn’t get minutes in the NBA? RJ Barrett? I have no idea what you are saying.

Also, McVeigh was not ahead of Exum at all tonight

 

[mikey127]

Think people are a bit negative. We actually played really well for most of that game

We clearly just lack a shot creator and a guy we can turn to that can regularly knock down a 3. Giddey has been great but he can’t be everything on the offensive end.. Green offensively has been a disappointment. At least Daniels was a scoring threat..
This will be the last time we see Mills, Ingles, Delly, Kay…and Goorjian..

Canada to their credit upped their D in the 2nd half and we lost some composure. Can take some learnings from that game, just need to lock in and play through it. Slow it down a bit as others have said - which is generally the opposite of how we want to play, but we need to identify the times to do it. Thought Exum was really good in this regard in the 3rd last night, looked like the only one who was calm and taking his time.

Yeah, we rushed every possession in the third once they hit the front. They're very good, not sure if they're good enough to beat the USA though

Canada have no big men so will get destroyed by Embiid / Davis, even Lebron will be able to overpower them down low.

Not sure why we didn't go to Landale in the post alot more.

We stuffed alot of entry passes into Landale

Not as many post entries as the Opals turned over though.

Is that what they were trying to do? I thought they were trying to play some kind of footy slingshot turnover game.

 

[NSWCROW]

Watch that final 3 from Brooks be the difference
