2019 FIBA World Cup (previously known as the World Championships)

[Ry009]

So Spain next?

Yep

 

[Satan]

Never in doubt

 

[peternorth]

Easy win

 

[Bleedblueandgold]

After not scoring for the quarter so far, Patty seals it with 5 huge points.

Is it just me or was that a super quick game? All over in under an hour and a half, including half time and quarter time breaks.

I planned on going to bed around 11ish (WA time)

Mrs Mills

Now against the Spaniards. If we are ever gonna win a Gold medal in an international tournament this is it. The superstars will play in the Olympics.

Way quicker than the France game.

 

[Gak Attack]

Only 2 turnovers in second half. More of that please.

 

[Satan]

Spain aint going to miss rebounds like czechs

 

[Elmer_Judd]

whos thoe hot blonde in the sunnies??!?!?!

Isn't that Patty's wife ?

 

[wian]

So against Spain, Is it losers out, or do we play the other loser from the other game for 3rd and 4th place?

 

[BG__]

Way quicker than the France game.

Most NBL games using the same FIBA timing are around the 2hr mark, they absolutely flew through this one

 

[Westy Bogan]

Way quicker than the France game.

Checks pushed every time they got it and not many free throws or time outs

 

[Luuuc]

So against Spain, Is it losers out, or do we play the other loser from the other game for 3rd and 4th place?

The latter

 

[wian]

Cool. So we are a top 4 team regardless of the next 2 games. Great effort.

Bookies now have it as

France $2.50

Hopefully the refs from the 2016 Bronze Medal match are nowhere near the semi's this time around.

 

[Neese]

Patty Mills is just beautiful to watch
Going to have to start a lot better against Spain

 

[Bleedblueandgold]

A shot at revenge in the semi. Hopefully we can reverse the result from Rio.

 

[Richard Cranium]

Men At Work pumping through the stadium's speakers.

STRAYA!

Back to back top 4 finishes at major comps now, right?

 

[Westy Bogan]

I just watched the phantom foul called on Patty at the end of the game vs Spain in Rio.... total joke. We should have won that game

 

[swanssince2002]

Well dangit. Love Steph Curry with all my heart but that means he's probably playing in the 2020 Olympics against us now that a team with all stars at best couldn't get it done.

 

[brucetiki]

First time ever Australia finishes above the US in a FIBA World Championship/World Cup.

Game against Spain is 4pm WST. Might need to try leave work a little early on Friday i think.

Boomers v Spain straight into Eagles v Geelong is not going to be a bad way to kick off the weekend (as long as boomers and eagles win lol)
