They seriously Number 2 ranked?

Mother of God

Sure were. Hence why I'm loving my 100 clams on us to pinch a medal at $21, some nuts value right there

Are you sure it wasn't just the US media who were judging teams purely on how many NBA players each team had?

Take anything the US media says with a grain of salt. France were 2nd favorite according to every bookie

I'm ******* hyped! What an exhibition that was. If that level of play continues we're capable of beating anyone (apart from the U.S of course)

We're definitely going to miss Bogut at the Warriors, his passing and playmaking for a center is next level. Simply has to stay fit through the tournament. I love how they're always looking for Mills on offense, he's our stud and has to keep taking the most shots. Baynes was surprisingly good and Delly is Delly, the bloke will always give 100% on both ends of the floor. Solid contributions from everyone else. Seriously the best team we've ever had together, I'm ******* pumped for the rest of the tournament.

It's a tragedy we've never got to see the Best of Bogut due to injury. He is a ridiculous talent. Doubt we will ever see it but Simmons, Bogut, Delly and Mills all together would be something special. Also like Baynes in International play he really plays with a lot of passion.

That was my point.

Bookies are morons, just this weekend I got Dusty most handballs at 12-1 and Bont most tackles at 9-1

France need Son of Skeletor favourite Evan Fournier to be any chop!

In fairness those are pretty low traffic markets, there's always loose odds there. For something this big where there is hundreds of millions being punted they are very rarely far off the mark.

Don't just react to how France played tonight, they are a seriously good team. Spain is the other one you could make a case for being #2 behind the US, but not many would have France anything but #2 or #3.

Didn't they struggle a bit to get into the Olympics though? That last quarter defense should be investigated. Remember Australia copped it over Angola lol this was worse looking at it live in that last quarter. A surrender monkey effort there.

Not trying to defend France's legacy or anything here, just saying how they were rated pre-tournament. Based on that performance they don't deserve to be the #2 favorite, that last quarter especially was beyond pathetic. But they are still a very capable team if they decide to pull their collective fingers out.

Oh man what a day at the basketball today. We dominated, unfortunately I was sitting behind noisy French people who shut up once hope was lost.

 

[JT_the_Man]

USA on 7mate, and dominating

 

[mikey127]

Opals a bit scratchy but then again at home I thought Brazil would be tougher than the bookies thought

 

[BobbyMorri]

USA are now arsing about.

 

[The King!]

France hired James Harden as defensive coach

 

[Warsaw]

Spain v Croatia aka the most important match in the world.

Seems like Croatia are committed to getting the ball to Bojan to score. Give it to the homie.

 

[Warsaw]

My word Dario. Game is lit af.

 

[Warsaw]

[Warsaw]

[peternorth]

are commentators referring to USA as the dream team?

 

[The King!]

Opals look a bit stuffed this year

 

[kozi]

All over us tonight @ $3.20

Hope we smack them

Jon Ralph of the Herald-Sun is the only one I've come across ... so far. No doubt there'll be other clueless f*cks doing it though.

 

[Richard Cranium]

Watching Opals highlights atm. I didn't realise Michelle Timms had defected to Turkey.

Wee, wee monsieur.

 

[chargers 09]

Lithuania always have a strong team. They beat a solid Brazil side. They are my bet for a medal.
