Rekt. At least it came from Giannis’s hand so can’t be too mad.

No.I assume the seats are just too close to eachother and he needs space.I thought he does something similar with the bucks.

How does it feel watching Giannis play against your team?

Makes me happy it rarely happens.

Giannis is getting frustrated at how often he’s needed to rescreen because Calathes ain’t giving him the ball.

I flipped this on 5 minutes ago, Greece hasnt scored and I think I've seen Giannis touch the ball once?

Total night & day from first half.

Giannis touched the ball like 3 times that entire quarter

It was wild to watch play out in real time.

USA network cut the game. Thank god. Can't stand to watch them blow what was a 19 point lead being so stupid.

Calathes made a shot didn't know that was allowed

jfc that was a nightmare sequence, slightly awkward slip on the court for Giannis and then an Aussie goon dives into his legs going for a rebound. Looks fine luckily

What a fn joke. Aussies happy though.

Turk Nowitzki · Post #194 » by **Turk Nowitzki** » Fri Aug 2, 2024 1:15 pm

Really with that call on Giannis?

blazza18 · Post #195 » by **blazza18** » Fri Aug 2, 2024 1:17 pm

That was a good flop from Patty.

I understand he’s tired but can’t believe Greece sat Giannis when they did.

BUCKnation · Post #196 » by **BUCKnation** » Fri Aug 2, 2024 1:17 pm

Might’ve been the softest charge ive ever seen. Refs had been doing a good job of not falling for the flopping defense before that

Just tuned in (work basketball!). Does Greece advance with a win?

No. They need to meet a point differential threshhold, wrt Canada's game. Vs Spain

Had a 19 point lead, which would've really helped.

Blah, crap.

There is still an outside chance but they needed to win by 10 to clinch it with a spain loss.
