You tend to forget the robbery in the first game of that semifinal. But do not worry man, it's been so many years and still Chelsea is no one in Europe.

Dammit. So damn close.

Yes the refs were bad down the stretch which brought Spain close. Lucky we got that makeup call at the end to send to OT.

In the end we made dumb as **** decisions (I’m looking at u delly and creek) and were outgassed by marc.

Don’t sleep on us. We going to be hungrier than ever in Tokyo.

Joe Ingles playing Houdini in the second half really let the Spain D key in on Patty, made things really hard for us.

Rubio and Rudy flopped all over the place. It was disgusting to watch

I agree Patty Mills flops as well. I never denied that or said we didn’t do it. But the level that Rubio and Rudy do it is embarrassing.

Don’t get me wrong, Spain are a great team and I think if they play each other 100 times it’s 50/50 (or slightly better for one or the other) but I think that blown call in that situation hurt. Patty also should’ve closed the game out on a makeup call but he shouldn’t have been in that position.

Entertaining game either way.

Refs had bad calls on both sides, but IMO Australia was more favoured taking into account the whole game, I am sorry but they should not complain...

In any case, big game, it had everything: two teams playing their hearts off, intensity, controversy... great entertainment. Congrats to Spain and Australia, both deserved the win.

Cheers! ;-)

i think we overestimate his ability because hes a good pnr handler and just assume he's smart with the ball + knows how to create for others and supposedly himself.

but maybe we're better off having him as purely a catch and shoot guy. then again. he got quite a few good semi-open looks and just refused to let it fly. he's supposed to be one of the best 3pt shooters in the world yet...iunno.

An epic basketball display. Spain has grit and basketball IQ, which makes them tough to beat.

I see many here presuming France wins today. We'll see about that
So many people who attain the heights of power in this culture—celebrities, for instance—have to make a show of false humility and modesty, as if they got as far as they did by accident and not by ego or ambition.

Yes, no foul on Marc. But the non-called Rudy three pointer and the Baynes illegal block on Rubio were worse, for example.

Refs were awful both sides.

Typical Spain win if you ask me.

Nobody knows how they dig up from that deficit, and how they overcome everything, but at the end they won...

Pretty unprofessional by Bogut.

I'm so glad Spain won. I was so sick of the arrogant Australians. I hope Bogut is banned from playing in the 3rd place game. What an idiot. Gasol destroyed him tonight!
