Looked like both hands hit the net at the same time but then Jock hit the ball.

So depends if refs deem the initial hit of the net worthy of goaltend or not

I like Australia playing Daniels and Exum when Shai goes to the bench. Smother the Canadian offense and try to win these minutes.

Probably too good at defense.

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).


He will probably apologize to them for not playing any defense in an entire game.

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.

Trash that can’t shoot or pass or have resemblance of any offensive skill. Oh forgot trash Euro coaching as well.

RJ Barrett big enough at this level of basketball to play his preferred style of bully ball.

That was one of the meanest defensive plays I've ever seen. Kawhi on McLemore level stuff by Dort there.

I don't think it's a size issue at all. It's because of how Canada is using him and what his role is.

If Canada eventually has a star bigman (No Edey won’t be a star), we can safely say they can be in par with the US?

Just NBA quality all over and it’s showing.
