They will be even better at the next Olympics with Simmons, Maker joining.

Could easily see Aussies being a top 5 fiba team for the next decade +

Maker will have retired by 2020

Actually yes.

They're athletic, wildly so, they can dribble you out of your socks if allowed, but the Harlem Globetrotters rules of the NBA make them look much better than they are under normal rules.

Patty is playing like a superstar. But the Australians look really tired. They don't have a bench.

Now imagine if Australians actually cared about basketball and it wasn't their 5th sport.

DeAndre is just standing down there waiting for a block every time instead of moving his feet just a bit to actually stop a drive.

Yeah, but they played one hell of a game! They are leaving everything on the court.

I know that the game isn't over yet, but here is where the sheer glut of talent comes in for Team USA. When you can pull someone like a fresh Klay Thompson off of the bench then it just becomes a matter of overwhelming the other team.

Our wings just can't guard him. So damn impressive to watch him go off.
