I guess this the only time you’ve watched him this tournament?

He was good in Tokyo and even better here the first three games..


I've seen him play plenty and I like him a lot. The one aspect of his game that hasn't seemed to improve is his driving to the hoop, he should be more of a threat given his tools.

Australia is coming back. Giddey's getting his chance to develop his scoring touch here.

Slovenia has been very alert and smart at fouling to stop breaks without unsportsmanlike.

It's just hillarious that you're putting this on Slovenia fishing for fouls when AUS has insanely more FTA and SLO also got called for 7 more fouls as well.

Again, you're ignoring context. Fishing does not equate getting rewarded for it. Two unsportsmanlike techs already. Ref has told a Slo player his whole team is whining. Coach too. They're just not getting the calls they want, which is every damn play apparently.


Fishing and complaing are 2 different things. Agree on complaining but i certainly don't agree with fishing for fouls. It was 1 stupid mistake from Dragic which i do agree he shouldn't have done but you made it sound like they're doing it the whole game.

That's fair. Just felt like one flowed from the other, complaining from calls they sought/thought they ought to get. Goes both ways too as ref Td up Aussie bench for the chatter and not sure what Tobey could have done dif6on Giddey +1 to end the 3rd Q.

Bruno Cabocclo doing his best Kevin Durant impression in the first.

Australia only look good on the break. Set plays look like average, gotta hit the open shot

Feels like Australia has had about five "OK, enough f'ing around" runs but just can't get over the hump. Super weird game.

Big swing to bring up the lead with Luka on the bench.

Critical lapse by Aussies in this stretch after bringing it down to 2. Need to win the non-Luka minutes every time.

Surprised Caboclo fell out of the league. He has big weaknesses still (ball handling, man defense), but his combination of defensive length and shooting are obviously useful.

He looked good to go once he arrived in Memphis in 2019 but then just didn't keep getting rostered. Even against all of Canada's NBA talent, he stands out as an athlete.

How many points have been scored where Kay has been helping near ft line and they dump to the wide open man in the base? It’s by design, but how many more before they say “gee this isn’t working”
