Game breaking no call then 3

This might get unsportsmanlike under FIBA rules. No play on ball and a braced shoulder contact.

I wouldn’t call it they way personally tho

Waste of a challenge although Rui got called for a flagrant on something similar

Sofia · Post #886 » by **Sofia** » Fri Aug 2, 2024 1:18 pm

Nope just normal call

Missed free throws

I thought Australia had this one tbh.

Australia threw that away with missed fts

AussieCeltic · Post #890 » by **AussieCeltic** » Fri Aug 2, 2024 1:22 pm

10/21 from the free throw line and lose by 6

I legit thought Australia would win. It wasn't like Greece was playing spectacularly or anything.

Teams lined up to shake hands at the halfway line and Giannis just sitting on the bench.

Good game, too many mistakes down the stretch from australia.

Greece +6, what does this mean now, give me math, please.

10/21 FT is unacceptable, even more so in a six point game.

Sofia · Post #896 » by **Sofia** » Fri Aug 2, 2024 1:24 pm

Good fight back but wouldn’t have deserved the win if they got there. Got outplayed and it didn’t feel as close as the final score line tbh

The 3rd quarter in this game was legit some of the worst basketball I've seen in a while... From both teams.

sooooo if Canada wins, Greece moves on????

Post #899 » by **G R E Y** » Fri Aug 2, 2024 1:25 pm

Wow good for Greece but surprised about Aussies letting this one slip away. They're one of the teams slotted for medal contention..

Agree with UCan about implications now. Not sure what happens...

tbf, I thought it was reasonably entertaining despite a score out of the 50s

Says something for allowing teams to play defence
