Let’s go Aussies! Intensity has picked up.

Dyson Daniels is solid. Good pickup for the hawks

I am just tuning in now. The game looks close and competitive.

Looks off Giannis?

Close enough is conclusive?

It wasn’t for the most part. Only now that Australia is fighting back— they can’t lose by more than 18 pts, that’s why.

Rooting for Giannis to get this done. Would be a great achievement to get to the knockout round.

Can’t put Magnay on an island with Giannis

Poor South Sudan at this rate, they’ll need to beat Serbia to advance. Pt differential monitoring is fun. LOL

Australia within 4

Yeah Patty!!

Don’t switch into Giannis

Hate to go against the grain, but Daniels in the heat of the moment is like a deer in headlights. Young and anxious I guess.

Sofia · Post #877 » by **Sofia** » Fri Aug 2, 2024 1:12 pm

I always forget how tight Delly plays on D, whereas Patty forever seems half a step away

Sofia · Post #878 » by **Sofia** » Fri Aug 2, 2024 1:12 pm

2 point game let’s gooooo

Honestly wish point differential mattered more in the NBA as well, not just for the play-in tournament. Too many blow outs in the regular season (and even playoffs) where one team just throws in the towel to rest for the next game.

Foul is called correctly, plays around pretending he’s hurt for a minute, gets up to inbound and complains to the ref anyway. Shut up bro
