WTF are you doing Patty Mills you ****ing idiot.

 

[The_Big_Ship]

That Mills guy is terrible.

 

[Gak Attack]

Mills ****ing terrible, soo hungry. Needs to realize just because he's 11th man in the NBA he's not a Kobe/Westbrook hybrid.

 

[prankmonkey]

this last quarter is horrendous

 

[DrVanNostrand]

Someone needs to shut up that bogan bitch in the crowd.

What awful offense from China in the 4th quarter. Some handy D from Australia but nothing extraordinary.

Why don't they dribble out the shot clock? Or does percentage count for something?

Shouldn't count for anything, the percentage factor! Disgraceful not to dribble out the remaining seconds left...

 

[djrossie16]

China are a very average team. The big one is coming up against GB. If we somehow lost that i'd be sick.

Can't tell if you are being serious.

With Russia beating Brazil its now possible that we can win out, but still finish 4th.

Beat Team GB first, then hopefully results can fall our way and we can sneak into 3rd.

 

[bossman111]

Jesus Christ World Number 43 GB go down 79-78 to No.2 Spain.

We are going to struggle to get past them if they pull out a performance like that.

 

[DrVanNostrand]

Just a lazy 49 points in the opening quarter for the USA against Nigeria. 11/14 from the 3pt line.

[Dragonss]

Mens basketball someone in the aussie team i don't know it was one of the big men in the 3rd quarter i think against China but smashing the ball into the ground was so unsportsmanlike. no need for it.

 

[TheStinger]

Cambage dunks better than half our mens team.

 

[DJMacca]

54-48 at 3/4 time for the Opals against Russia. Hopefully they hold on.

 

[DrVanNostrand]

Liz with the dunk! Awesome. It could have all been very different if the Russians' 3pt shooting didn't desert them in the last minute. Got lucky there. Bring on USA in the semi.

 

[raven echo]

Would it kill them to put a shot clock up on the screen?

 

[TheStinger]

Have to work on our defensive rebounding in the last minute there. Can't give them five shots in a row.

It was laughable.

Maybe it is just me, but it is pretty clear to see the shot clock above the backboard...
