Stupid play. Stops, but no boards or care with the ball.

LOL I like that ref's approach. "I give you an answer and we're gonna move on." One discussion on a foul and that's it. Not the repeated whining like in the NBA.

Ref: "If you're going to disagree, I'm going to give you an answer and move on."

Hahaha Dragic with the flopping tech. Well deserved

Tech for flop on the shot hahaha love it!

Are refs trying to keep Australia in this game?

LewisnotMiller · Post #969 » by **LewisnotMiller** » Fri Sep 1, 2023 12:51 pm

Something wrong with Dragic's legs. They don't seem to be working properly. Can't stay upright.

Perhaps there is a stiff breeze inside the stadium.

Basic FIBA rule. There was a flop warning signalled earlier and they did it again. Patty closed out hands low and Dragic snapped his head back like he got hit.

Australia's lack of size is killing them.

What is Exum doing? Uncoordinated mess.

Australia just ain't shooting the ball. I don't think Slovenia's D is that tough.

It was a tech because he shot the ball after the whistle. Last game he got a tech for yelling AND1

To whatever extent it's true that a team takes on the personality of its best player/leader, Slovenia is too emo and foul baiting in the whole.

Foul baiting? FT's

SLO 2/3
AUS 14/17

Yeah sure.

Hahahaha HIRE HIM, NBA!

Our offence has been messy and hard to get a read on.

What a find by Giddey

Such a contrast in coaching.

Luka is clearly the best player out there but Australia have more guard depth but are just getting outplayed.

Luka on 3 fouls and not taking it at him. Fml.

new WORLD CHAMPIONS will be?
