Are Bulls fans watching this Giddey-ccentric offense and having feelings about next season?

Schmidt points all time are insane

How about we slow the **** ball down?

Sloppy from Australia this quarter and good offense from Canada

Definitely should be a target in your fantasy leagues; will be all stats, major minutes in a sucky team.

This game is good. Both teams are so reliant on perimeter play, but also pretty well equipped to guard the perimeter.

Giddey is killing people off screen actions, but Australia has absolutely no answer for Shai (treating Dyson Daniels like he's a nobody).

Exum is tough.

Compund fracture last week on his finger. As in, you could see bone.

Greece cheering for Canada here obviously so that they still have a shot to advancing to the next round.

We could see a 1-2 triple tie in this Group.

If Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Nickeil Alexander-Walker had a baby would they call it Shaquille Alexander-Alexander?

I never said any such thing. And in fact, I credited his great scoring. You love to do that, where you imply a poster claimed something they did not.

The biggest reason Greece lost that game was Walkup. Giannis' zero D the whole game was the second biggest reason. But Walkup is the biggest reason. He's been the worst player at the Olympics so far.

I am just going to assume ahead of time that you will read my post saying Walkup was the biggest problem for the loss of Greece, and in response that you will make a post about me that I somehow claimed it was all 100% Giannis' fault, because that's what you like to do.

Just admit that those euro trash league players let Giannis and the Greek team down. There is a reason why they are not in the nba.

Probably too good at defense.

Need Giddey back in

Aussies can’t score

The TV graphic was different. He went from 7th to 6th from the broadcast stat.

And zero offense? We’ll have to ask Giannis how he feels about playing with these scrubs (except 1 guy, that shooter/PG played well).

Does any NBA team have better perimeter defensive personnel than team Canada?

Dillon Brooks, Lu Dort, Andrew Nembhard, Nickeil Alexander-Walker, Shai is just ridiculous.

Boston, Minny, and OKC are the only teams I'd consider.

What the **** was the strategy here? There was no need to come out at break neck pace, but Australia did, resulting in a bunch of sloppy turnovers, 6 in 6 minutes after only 5 in the first half, giving up a bunch of transition points off turnovers and throwing away control of the game

Tough for Australia when the only other shot creator is 6'0
