Summer Tokyo 2021 Basketball Thread - August 7 When We Got Bronze

[peternorth]

Can the Boomers beat France or Slovenia for bronze?

Hopefully we can regroup now for the bronze game. A bronze medal would still be a historic result for Australian basketball.

What were the US paying? anything over $1.20 would have been good value

$1.14. I put 50 on them so I can buy a beer to drown my sorrows afterwards.

Wouldn't call it passion when people say they choked again.

If someone didnt have passion, they wouldnt even be here posting.

The aussie commentator just mentioned the "P" word.

Proud.

Disappointing performance from about halfway through the second quarter. Need to find a way to bounce back and take bronze.

Probably can beat France if we make our shots. Doncic will probably destroy us.

 

[Satan]

rest up boys

 

[Nuggetz]

Hope we play Slovenia because we are no chance against France. Also think France would have a good shot at beating USA again, Gobert should dominate v USA small ball lineups.

 

[Brad Goodman]

Didn't lose by 20, our best ever Olympics semi final performance!

 

[Neese]

Well done Boomers. Great first half.
Terrible team selections.
Now for bronze.

We can beat everyone if we make our shots (and opponents miss theirs)

should be a 'D' word as well - disappointing

Simmons snubbing us,I wonder how the yanks tied his hands up?

People need to imagine Simmons doesnt exist when it comes to national BB.

He doesnt care about it.

 

[smasha]

Right let's smash it for the bronze.
Super proud of the first 1.5 quarters

Same brother,I will be a proud Aussie if our Boomers get a medal.

We are giant killers,USA,the Milli Vanillis lol.

Really disappointing game. Just so much like we have seen before - medal chance on the line, tighten up and choke.

I hope we win the Bronze medal, because Mills and Ingles deserve it, but sadly I don't think we can beat any of the teams left.

Slovenia I feel is 50/50.

We’ve got a tonne of defenders to throw at dragic and luka. I even feel like our defenders match up very well on both of them.

France worry me as gobert and fall could kill us.

 

[DJ75]

Hope we play Slovenia because we are no chance against France. Also think France would have a good shot at beating USA again, Gobert should dominate v USA small ball lineups.

I think Slovenia might win the whole thing! Would be insane for a country their size.

Slovenia has a population of 2 mill
