I am so sad we didn't pick Bam Abebayo instead we got Zach Collins who is already gone. Damian seems to have formed a friendship with him and would be exactly what we need. that 10 pick was so badly wasted.

That draft was the one. We fucked up big time
 
See. He is a good teammate.
Just like the award he got this last season Dame is the best high profile teammate in the game. He always does the right thing on the court. Not surprised he was playing hurt... he never misses open shots like that.
 
Brilliant of Dame. Claim an injury as to why he can’t play defense. Then come back to the Blazers and not play while collecting the super max until he’s traded……which the Blazers should do asap
 
Thybulle moved into the starting lineup to guard Doncic.
 
Australia going right at Doncic on the offensive end, trying to wear him out, and/or get him in foul trouble.
 
Refs allowing Slovenia to be very physical, but Australia can’t touch Doncic.
 
Mills and Ingles missing open threes, and it’s hurting Australia.
 
Patty Mills single handedly keeping Australia in it with 26 points at halftime.

SLO 45 - 51 AUS

Australia shooting 52.6% FG%, but only 28.6% from three; need to go inside more.
 
Doncic given a tech going into the halftime break. Even though Slovenia is getting the better calls from the refs, Doncic can’t stop whining.
 
Australia needs to hold this 10 point buffer, because the refs will bring Slovenia back into it as the game nears its end.
 
Slovenia always switching, so Australia constantly getting Doncic’s man to set the screen for Mills. Patty scoring on Doncic, so then Slovenia starts doubling, and Australia swings the ball to the open man.
 
US women play for gold this evening. Let's get a twofer!
 
Mills and Thybulle resting at the start of the fourth. Crucial moment of the game.
 
Whistles being handed out left and right in Slovenia’s favour.
 
Props to whoever in the arena put on Farnsy!

 
Patty Mills with 42 pts, 9 ast would not let us lose. He is the heart and soul of this team, and I am so happy for him!

Matisse Thybulle, and Dante Exum have been huge for Australia all tournament. Their defence has made a massive difference.

CAPTAIN AUSTRALIA!

We'd be very smart to sign Exum.

So we won't.

And Thybulle was +30! That's probably the highest ever against a Slovenian team with Doncic.

Thybulle is awesome. I’d love to have him here
