But I won't lie - I'm pulling for the Boomers here!

Its not that bad rooting against team usa in international ball considering how huge favourites you guys are. the line was 27.5 for this game.

I don't think that they like the physicality of the inside game tonight.

It does but that's my point. Even if he was healthy, Cousins is better by a mile. That's my opinion though.

He is but he hasnt been overly impressive so far in the olympics.

Bit further than college I think, like the shortened those seasons in 90s.

Didn't the Dubs give away Bogut for free? I wish the Celts had taken him, especially since he's a FA anyways.

Aussies have played out of their skin. Really tough team.

They will be even better at the next Olympics with Simmons, Maker joining.

Could easily see Aussies being a top 5 fiba team for the next decade +

International Melo is usually pretty fun to watch.

I could see him retiring from the NBA in a few years and taking some deal from a Euro club with a light schedule (compared to the NBA) and some nice travel destinations. I'm sure that LaLa could score some reality TV show deal for it, as well.

Bogut next to Horford :rock:

this just shows how manufactured some "stars" in the nba are. in fiba you don't get free throws gift wrapped if someone looks at you the wrong way.

Dellavadova is gonna get Milwaukee back into the playoffs if he can play like this on offense.

Yeah that woulda been sick, I prefer Horford at the 5 but, those 2 make a great defensive front court.

The last thing Bogut wants is an olympic medal and he would probably retire. Last thing he needs to achieve
