Aus 7.5 point favourites from what I’m looking at.

Slovenia is 3-0 vs Australia 2-1, but Group F was a joke.

Australia was favored by 5.5 at tip. I fired up Slovenia. I believe in Luka!

nice start for Tobey

The immediate double on the catch every time isn’t working for the Aussies at all. Luka’s too good of a passer.

Then of course as soon as I say that he turns it over back to back possessions.

Turns out Green is on Luka anyway. Nice quick high doubles on him. Effective.

Slovenia picking up where they left off in the Bronze medal match from Tokyo and having all players on the floor complain about obvious fouls?

Slovenia putting a lot of attention on Patty when he gets the ball, mustn’t have watched his recent film.

Slovenia looks the more organized cohesive, better executing team so far.

Aussies are being taken out of their run game, not as effective in half court as opponents.

Doubling Luka not going well. We have good enough wing defenders to not trap. Strange strategy so far by the Australians

Kay and Cooks are useless.

Gorjian has something against Duop Reath, it’s ridiculous.

Jack White is twice the rebounder that Kay is and a better defender and shooter as well. The rotations have been embarrassing.

For NBL watchers that don’t have the Aus feed, they just said Corey Williams aka Homicide has been diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer, starting treatment shortly.

Yeh I don’t understand how/why Goorjian sticks with him. He was great at the Olympics but he’s been horrible for 6-7 games now?

Hope Homicide gets better.

Also hope we find out shooters, instead of Thybulle popping threes

Well at least they switched to switching on Luka. But why give him space to get an easy pass back and let him operate again? Have to be more pesky and contest return passes.

Stupid foul Luka!
