Yep sometimes they won't call it all game, though they'll be aware of it, but then in the crunchtime they'll be like nah can't let that slide fam.
So many people who attain the heights of power in this culture—celebrities, for instance—have to make a show of false humility and modesty, as if they got as far as they did by accident and not by ego or ambition.

Lucky Australia with the foul call on Theis and the out of bounds call. Crunchtime. Go Germany.

Big win for Germany without Franz. Lo stepped up like I said he needed to for them to able to win.

Omg, almost an last second foul on Giddey.
Mills drove to the basket like a wombat on the last 2 plays...father time is undefeated.

Gut punch wake up call for Aussies now, too.

Pressuring ball handlers is a threat they'll have to adjust to. As I said before, can't be all on Patty who once again led the team in scoring.

Too many mistakes and missed bunnies.

Credit to Germany for storming back to start the 4th and pulling through without a key player.

Mills was scoring well through a lot of the game, but his handle was too loose on those last drives

It’s been called plenty of times. I’ve seen it in FIBA and in NBA. We didn’t deserve to win but a foul is a foul
