After destroying us a couple of days back in a variety of sports it's nice they could help us out today.Thanks Canada.
Yes it does. Nice coming 2nd winning 1 of 3.That’s means we came second right?

Unknown at the moment. I'm not sure how the seedings work going into the quarter finals. We will know by the end of tonight Paris time once all the men's group stage matches are complete.Who do we play next?
Some of the abuse towards Patty here is disgraceful. Do people not remember what he has done for Australian basketball.
Thr constructive criticism is fine but the keyboard warriors abusing him are disgraceful
Love the guy. But he's not a starter anymoreSome of the abuse towards Patty here is disgraceful. Do people not remember what he has done for Australian basketball.

Unknown until a draw is done after all games completed. We will end up with either Serbia or France as we can't play Canada.
Def not arguing that but the abuse he's coping is ridiculousLove the guy. But he's not a starter anymore
Looked like a playing assistantGlad Goorj kept ingles refreshed
People probably believing the rumours how he influenced selection of the Olympic team.Def not arguing that but the abuse he's coping is ridiculous
Why pick him if we're not playing him? Goulding and Matisse stiff af tbh. Our offence is dreadful and we got our best 3 ball sitting at home and our best defender not picked over the likes of Kay and Magnay?? Even Cooks is bloody stiff tbh.Looked like a playing assistant
Germany would get Greece and USA play Brazil (as Germany and Brazil were in the same group)SSD should lose by more than 2 pts. That would make Brazil and Geece as the best 3rd place teams. Greece will likely get USA and Brazil play Germany.
That's right - the main criticism should be of the coaching staff. They're in denial that he's played very few minutes in the last two years (for a reason) and at 35 is understandably in decline. He's lost acceleration and is no threat driving to the basket but is still doing it or taking low percentage shots under pressure. Then there's defence which was never a strong point.Love the guy. But he's not a starter anymore
Correct. Patty God bless him still thinks he's gonna be the man who leads us to a gold medal. This is Giddeys and Jocks team now. With no Goulding, Mills should be that 3pt threat off the bench. Exum starter. Goorj isn't strong enough to make that call. Half of Australia could have selected and coached this team better.That's right - the main criticism should be of the coaching staff.

They needed to have the hard conversation with him three months ago and say he'd be a role player - coming off the bench on limited minutes to shoot open threes and provide a spark. He's very familiar with that role.
Doesn't change that he's been a great player and servant for us but his situation has been poorly handled this Olympics.
All things considered, I’m taking the Serbs over anyone else above us. We have a shot.I think we get Serbia if they beat SSD and USA beat PR.
That would have the pots for the draw as
D ) USA / GER
E) CAN / SRB
F) FRA / AUS
G) BRA / GRE (or SSD if the lose by 2 point to SRB and score at least 58 points)
1/4 match ups
USA v BRA
CAN V FRA
SRB V AUS
GER V GRE
Fumbling our way out of the group of death in 2nd is quite funny, I must say. If we can find a bit of our pre-tournament form (I’m mostly looking at Patty Mills here to be GOAT FIBA Patty because he was the key) we can absolutely beat Serbia.To end up 2nd feels like a Stephen Bradbury moment. Hopefully the boys can lift and Goorjan the necessary adjustments to have a medal chance.
