I don't like Patty Mills either, all he is is quick. Cant do anything else... I enjoy Dellavadova playing and Lauren Jackson, both great players. And why isn't Andersen in the NBA, looks like a solid player other than poor shot selection. Anyway.


Did anyone enjoy the US's beating today. The Knicks must be mad, melo never plays like that for them. Haha. 153 was the total points - just Wow! In 10 minute quarters too!!

Given he is playing in the NBA I think he can do more than just "be quick"

I understand that, it's just I don't understand how he got into the NBA, he has a poor shot, he's getting blocked by amateurs and the only thing I'm giving him credit for is his quickness and his layups

His 3pt shot was quite coveted as well from my memory.
But just because he's in the NBA doesn't make him national level for Australia

I think his problem in these olympics is he is trying to do too much. Like without Bogut there he has it in his head that because he is the only NBA player on the Boomers roster he has to be the man 75% of the time down the court. This is the complete opposite of his game and even when playing with the Gails he did not play this way even though he was clearly the best player on the team. I think if he went back to playing a more old school PG and let the shots come to him a little more rather than pushing it all the time both he and the boomers will look and play much better.

Completely agreed, how long is Bogut out for? I was expecting him to play these olympics...

he is most of the way through rehab but would have missed all the lead-up games and then only maybe would have been ready, so he pulled the pin early. He should be 100% ready for NBA training camp.

good win for my pick Russia over Spain today!

that's very impressive and even more when considering Shved was shut down and Kirilenko locked down, too
