Walkup just walked up a bit too close to Patty and got a pat on his chin.

4 teams already through, 1. Canada 2. Germany 3. France 4. USA.
4 spots still left
Finished :
Brazil (-7) 1-2 W:L
Still playing :
Australia (+2) Spain ( -5), South Sudan (-6), Greece (-14)
I'd say most likely is
Canada, Germany, France, USA, Australia, Spain and Brazil
Greece can still make it if they continue to blow out Aus though
Did you forget about Serbia?

Greece are so active on D. Every Aussie player is getting swamped when they get near the ball

Australia can't even capitalize on the non Giannis minutes, 36 points in one half is pretty awful.

Letting Greece score 53 is a problem as well. Just a horrible performance on both ends

Re: 2024 Olympic BASKETBALL Thread (Pt.3)
17 pt lead now.
From FIBA:
AUSTRALIA
They will finish 4th of the group and be eliminated from contention if:
CAN beat ESP and AUS lose to GRE by 18 points or more
GRE beat AUS and ESP beat CAN
---
Those point differential will be big for the 3 third place teams, this will be decided down the wire.
Losers here will settle for third in their groups:
South Sudan vs Serbia (latter favored but SS motivated to make it close for a shot at next round)
Spain vs Canada (Spain will drop to 1-2 and an unfavorable pt differential too)

Re: 2024 Olympic BASKETBALL Thread (Pt.3)
Walkup and Mitoglu having a good game, giving up 53 points to this Greek team is bad. Glad to see that Euroleague players responded, we were getting a bit too much trashed talked about this Greek team in particular. Defeinitely did not expect +17 from Greece tho.

Re: 2024 Olympic BASKETBALL Thread (Pt.3)
I'd say its shaping up to be USA Serbia, Canada Greece, France Germany as the top 6
finals 2 spots between Aus, Spain, South Sudan and Brazil
Brazil sitting in a good spot at (-7) tbh

Australia is killing themselves on both ends of the floor. It's their game to turn around.

Indeed.
That’s Brazil -7 no games left
SS at -6 with Serbia left
Spain at -5 with Canada left
Australia (if not losing by 18 or more today) is at +2

Looks like Giddey peaked during the exhibition games
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.
