Olympic Basketball Thread

[Igloo]

That was insane.

 

[djrossie16]

That missed layup was a disaster. Go Snell. Lack of Penny is showing though

 

[iDon]

Never looked like missing.

[LBJ6]

Snell with multiple failed heat checks,.......

 

[Wickzki]

What a joke - that was FAR from a blocking foul.

And another awful call that could have gone either way but went against us.

If we win we've won 8 on 5.

There wasn't much to write home about up until then

 

[djrossie16]

That was a crap play

Surprised no-one has mentioned anything about French pr0n..... Le Pron anyone

 

[XFactor1979]

If that happened in the Nba the team which hit the buzzer beater would have gone on to win

ot has been an anticlimax

 

[Wickzki]

God damn Kristi. Too be expected with her though. Cannot believe she made the team again.

 

[Macca81]

dear god our girls played this OT rubbish. Fouling everywhere sending France to the free throw line. I know they had to foul that last play but still...

 

[djrossie16]

All over

 

[rapido]

We've been shocking the whole game.

 

[getthefooty]

All over.

 

[Wickzki]

Message to Carrie Graf -- PLEASE do not play Kristi Harrower if you want to win a silver or gold medal. Turnover merchant.

 

[Igloo]

God damn.

 

[Mcveigh]

Boooo stayed up for nothing.

 

[djrossie16]

They don't have any good guards the Opals. The Aussie media as usual talked them up as gold medal contenders without thinking. Fair enough if Penny Taylor is there but even then they are still more likely for silver.

Also with these refs they might have to rethink their strategies. Can't have Jackson and Cambage foul out again.

 

[JasRulz63]

Was always going to be hard without Jackson and Cambridge for the whole of OT.

except for 3 seconds in the 4th quarter

 

[DJMacca]

Pretty poor effort from the opals. Very sloppy and way to many turnovers. If they keep playing like this they may not end up with a medal.

 

[MightyTiger]

Is it usually the standard in Basketball to give away so many frees??

 

[Adz]

Can the Opals still make next round?

Holding the ball.
