Game Thread : Australia vs. Russia (Friday 10:15PM CST)

Is he allowed to just grab the defenders arm like that and keep it out of his way? That doesn't seem right at all, kind of like a wipe-away but more extreme... shame on anybody who would rather see a great dunk than an honorably-officiated game.

Dude, it's definitely all about the posterization! Seriously though, I like my officiating to be unnoticiable in any game of sport. That is, it's very consistent and doesn't interupt the flow of a game, or change the outcome.

On another point, it's good to see Bogut take a game by the scruff of the neck and really have a big affect on the outcome.

For those who haven't seen the dunk I spotted this .gif on an Australian forum.

Cheers, stell.

Incidentally, was this Bogut's first game since he learned that Mo was traded? Hmmmm...
