Seven showing the last plays of Spain 2016 bronze medal game. That bail out call on Rudy Fernandez when Mills was standing with arms straight up was a joke, then Matty Neilsen throwing the ball away on the last possession. So frustrating!

Edit: Sergio Rodriguez, not Rudy F and might have been David Anderson, not Matty Nielsen? Smalll screen up on laptop while doing other work

Yep, Anderson

Shouldn't have been on the floor.

I’ve got a feeling about this one, this is our time.

 

[Neese]

Sickie is on. I am both nervous and excited. We can do it if we come out firing and play out of our skins.

Hope you are right.

We’ll need Brooklyn star Mills and Spurs star Jock Landale to be at their best today

Hope Popovich doesn’t know all Landale’s secrets as his coach

In all seriousness over the moon for Jock. Perfect chance to earn Pop’s respect today by sticking it to him

 

[Nuggetz]

Nervous af lads. Hope we do it, need a miracle. Please bottle it USA. Fak

 

[Neese]

I'm a lady, ******* truth

 

[Dump Truck]

Most nervous I've been in quite some time. I just hope they give it everything and the basketball gods are with us today.

 

[peternorth]

I don't make the rules but I believe if we knock them out today then Mills, Ingles, Thybulle, Landale, and whoever else makes an NBA roster form the Aussie team gets to take the spots in the All Star game/ All NBA team this year of any US player who plays today.

My next couple of hours at work aren't going to be very productive

Everything would have to go right for Australia in such an important match, and as we know that rarely happens! They would want have a decent lead deep in the fourth to take the officiating out of it.

Can't help but think about how useful ben simmons could be in the paint right now.
I wonder what he's up to at the moment?

Stuffing his face with meat pies in the bahamas or something?

I think our lack of height and size is about to be brutally exploited.

Just won a gold in the mens 1000m kayak. Australia up and about. Lets take that energy into the game!
