such an underrated defender

Jokic is gassed. He will not be able to play 40 minutes against USA, and that's what they need to beat them

THE MVP !

Finally they realized that Duop Reath can’t guard Jokic, what was Serbia doing until now…

Giddey with the final turnover. He got like 7 now?

Post #286 » by **Diop** » Tue Aug 6, 2024 2:41 pm

Jokic winning the overtime is expected.

Giddey is feast or famine. Reath was open for the pass in

Aussies have left too many O possessions unfulfilled. Up 3 and that Jokic block on Giddey drive was a turning point. Had a chance to be up 5 but instead down 1, now 3.

wtf

Australia running an inbound set that takes the entire 5 seconds to just run in circles not present a threat to receive the ball

Giddey and Mills were awesome but both made some of the most careless plays I've ever seeing choking it away.

Giddey struggling to walk

Damn, brutal for the Aussies. Hope Giddey is okay.

Jugs was right

Post #295 » by **Diop** » Tue Aug 6, 2024 2:43 pm

Fun game. Australia weren’t medaling, goorijan can’t run an offense, it’s all defense and pushing the ball.

Jellybeans · Post #296 » by **Jellybeans** » Tue Aug 6, 2024 2:44 pm

AUsies just wanna find dumber ways to lose and they lose

Post #297 » by **G R E Y** » Tue Aug 6, 2024 2:44 pm

Giddy blows the layup and his ankle on one possession. This after TOing it on the inbound the previous play.

Wow...

Congratulations to Serbia for gutting it out and for the the big come from behind W.

Jokic was tremendous on both ends in OT.

They got that inbound play straight from the Sixers play book I swear. :banghead:
