Bone-Gure….Bone-Gure! Got here to lovely Lille, France about 36 hours ago. What an amazing town. Such an interesting place for Basketball to be held for the Olympics. Huge domed stadium. Watched former Blazer Nico Batum and his fellow Frenchman and the Aussies practice for a bit today. Ore-I-Vwar!

Your 1 day of french already better than my 4 months
 
Very happy to be wrong. Both about the result, and Patty.

He didn’t show up for the World Cup, but FIBA Patty lives for the Olympics!

He played much smarter than at the World Cup, better shot selection, and more mid range shots, not just threes.

Landale was sorely missed at the World Cup, really need someone of his physical presence to finish Giddey’s passes.

Daniel’s has really elevated his offensive game in this run with Australia, and McVeigh is in the form of his life (which I find unbelievable compared to his stint with the 36ers).

Patty Mills is the Australian LeBron.

And he's a free agent... BRING HIM BACK (most of our players have been raised on Bluey so will totally get him).
 
Pretty funny they put curry in and he gets pulled almost immediately because Serbia abused him by switching Jokic to him.
 
Anyone trying to compare the Dream Team to this team obviously isn’t paying attention.
The current Team USA is playing against the current NBA MVP in the Olympics.
How can that even compare to 1992?
 
Look at LeBron. Took the Center position to guard Jokic because Embiid was getting cooked.
 
With 6 seconds left in the half, Serbia let up. So the U.S. had Edwards take it inbounds and run into Bogdanovich, crossing over at the last instant. Bog stuck out his hand and fouled him. 3 seconds left. The U.S. made a long inbounds pass to Durant under the basket and he made a 9-footer. They pulled 2 tricks in 9 seconds.

I think I got the names right...I turned off the sound, the awful narration isn't covering the game. The ads are very short. The TV show lacks sponsors.
