they always say aussies never give up.

not sure if true

 

[Royces Hart]

Is Duop actually told before the game that he won’t be getting minutes?

Or am I reading too much into the trackies on the bench every game?

 

[matthew_s]

Just got home. WTF.

How? Why? We're not this bad surely

We are. Not a single synapse firing between the lot of them

 

[Satan]

He's not wearing a singlet under that t shirt

Injured?

 

[Dazza the Viking]

Mills if you going to be a hog you can at least try hitting some shots

 

[matthew_s]

Should seriously consider getting Roth as Australia coach if that is possible. This team is making so many mistakes I just haven’t seen watching the Jackjumpers. Could be my bias but his players never make dumb moves like half these players.

Bob Jane Tmart?

Half his team have been spudding it up all night.

 

[RagingBear]

****ing disgusting! Reath and Ingles need to see some court time. 3 ball shooters, getting killed inside with errors and inability to shoot.

 

[mikey127]

I think people here are being a bit unrealistic. I thought this Olympics was always going to be tough because so many of our squad are at there last games or first games

 

[Gak Attack]

Two straight tournaments where Goorj's lineups and inability to make painfully obvious changes on the fly is gonna cost us.

He's relying on things that happened four years ago instead of what's happening in front of him.

Not really. Greece while competent are not a team we should lose to, certainly not be pumped by. If you gave a good coach with no past connections with players I think we'd have a different squad and better results.

 

[Royces Hart]

Get this half time guy on to play.

Emergency citizenship!

 

[janty]

And we thought the Canada game would be the low light.

 

[Crusty Demon]

Not sure I've been more embarrassed as an Australian basketball fan. Getting absolutely smacked by Greece. Opals been awful as well. Both look likely to be sent home early. Massive shake up required

Bob Jane Tmart?

You talking about Magnay and McVeigh? +/- says otherwise compared to their teammates.

 

[Wickzki]

Have supported Goorjian as a coach for years (record speaks for itself) but he got the team selection dreadfully wrong and has now doubled down on it by utilising the worst strategy possible the last two games.

The strategy was always needing to be to force Giannis beat you by himself while you shut down the other 4 players on the floor. Instead, Walkup and Mitoglu have absolutely buried us.

Boomers should be able to account for Greece. But lack of movement and bone head decisions are costing them.

 

[peternorth]

Not really. Greece while competent are not a team we should lose to, certainly not be pumped by. If you gave a good coach with no past connections with players I think we'd have a different squad and better results.

They have active players who are playing in a well drilled system

 

[Crusty Demon]

And we thought the Canada game would be the low light.

I honestly feel half the general public could have done a better job picking and coaching this team. Goorj at the least needs to be sacked immediately after this game..

 

[Cyber_punk]

Matildas... opals.... Kookaburras.... Wtf is going on????

Yeah horrible watching all of them shit the bed

 

[Dazza the Viking]

Goulding dropping 3s left right centre in the lead up games but doesn’t get picked, should of been pick as an impact player, instead of 3 players who have barely played

 

[docko911]

Matildas... opals.... Kookaburras.... Wtf is going on????

Its the vegan food

 

[William Caresser]

Delly and Ingles' selections don't sit well at all. Take them as assistant coaches, not players. Leaving out a defender like Thybulle for two guys well past it.

 

[moistie]

We are getting murdered on the boards, are 50% on free throws, and cannot hit the side of a barn from 3. So we're forced into drives into a packed paint where we're being picked off at will.

Delly has played 22 seconds, Ingles hasn't seen the floor, but there's no room in the team for Thybulle.

We are a long way off it, picking players past their prime. Time for a new coach and a stiff broom through the team.

 

[DJMacca]

I hate to say this but I kinda hope the boomers get flogged and crash out tonight.
At least then we will see change
