Australia, France, Serbia, Spain... everyone got a chance vs this USA team. Especially if they play like this, maybe they are playing at 70% but im not really sure...

All tournament long they have allowed teams to take the short jumper off the screen.... it hasn't cost them yet but it will against teams with half decent guards. Refuses to allow the bigs to move from under the basket.


As soon as Baynes or Bogut step up for that mid-range jumper Gobert takes an easy lob for a guaranteed two points.


Gobert is out there setting screens. They've been doing this all tournament... and it's annoying to watch. If they keep giving France wide open jumpers from 8 feet they are going to win this easily.


Well that's how the pick and roll works and when you have a great screen setter like Gobert the game is now a two on one.

France still has zero turnovers and we are almost finished with three quarters.

Due to comments about a Chinese swimmer, forget his name, who's I think the best swimmer in the world at his chosen stroke/distance had been tested positive at some stage in his career for a banned substance. Aussie swimmer protested this Chinese swimmer and Andrew Bogut supported this and added his two bob in on twitter.

Wow it’s crazy that the crowd would boo him so much for that, petty and childish.
