Olympic Basketball Thread

[mattys123]

Good start by the Boomers, can't see them winning this but they need to finish third in this group to avoid the Yanks in the quarters.

Patty's shoes.

 

[ioppolo]

Channel 9 are showing the gymnastics & Swimming over this?

C***s.

 

[PP34]

**** Channel Nine. Same old shit.

 

[mattys123]

Boomers by one at half time, lots of faults with the timing, had to reset it about four times, and it went off too early with 1.1 left when Brazil had the ball.

Too many turnovers by the Boomers, we could actually be in front.

 

[PP34]

Anywhere I can get a play by play or gamecast?

 

[Unknown Caller]

Game on Channel Nine now.

 

[kaiserchief13]

Patty Mills in beast mode

 

[getthefooty]

What's going on with the refs? Unsportsmanlikes all over the place.

 

[lemon chicken]

Where the hell are these referee's from?

 

[Dirtywhirl]

Patty needs to calm down. Dominating the ball a lot

 

[kaiserchief13]

So many turnovers by Australia.....

 

[mattys123]

Back to back unsportsmanlike fouls, for efforts that would barely even be called in the NBA, WTF?

Lebron will explode if they call that on him.

 

[Gak Attack]

Some very amateur turnovers. Amazing we are this close give how horrid our offense has been.

 

[Theseventhhamster]

I can't believe that we are going at their best defender with Anderson and it's actually working.

 

[mattys123]

Boomers within 2, gutsy effort this.

 

[Falchoon]

travelled twice on the inbounds

 

[Wickzki]

Not a bad game by Australia. Had the American official not sucked the NBA players ***** in that game we'd have won.

Nice unsportsmanlike foul by Patty Mills. Too bad he didn't touch the Brazilian player.

Nice that Matty D got a defensive foul in the midst of a three point shot going through the hoop.

 

[PP34]

The ref was the one Kobe called a ****ing ****** I think. Billy something is his name.

 

[djrossie16]

Our three point shooting continues to suck. We need to seriously consider some hypnosis. Maybe give Crawford a few minutes as well.

 

[BluesMan]

Dream team are on

ANd better stay on ch 9

 

[KENT2008]

channel 9 should put team usa on either gem or 9 and the water polo on the other

 

[Jcpdragonx]

Why is 9 and gem the same? USA isn't on TV anymore... Looks like I'm hitting the sack. Channel 9 need quit bringing themselves down to channel 7's level.

 

[Matthew2708]

NBC commentators just said Australia is massively underrated. Durant and Bryant are off. In the last minute of the first quarter. USA V France. Free throws to USA.

 

[Matthew2708]

USA lead 22 to 21 at the end of the 1st period. A 3 pointer to France with 2-3 seconds left. 8 Team fouls for each team, 21 free throws in total for both teams.
