Yeah Bogut, Patty, Ingles pretty good combo
Good try, Australia. They've taken a pretty big step this time. Add Bogut and they are are legit contender for bronze.
Yeah Bogut, Patty, Ingles pretty good combo
The ironic thing is that KoMe is showing off for an Aussie in the crowd.
Knew USA would turn it on at some point, but honestly they looked unimpressive for most the game compared to what they are capable of.
They are going to have to play with more intensity from the get go against ARG
Props to the Boomers for keeping it close for most of the game. Very proud of Patty Mills as well.
Nice effort.
Ingles NBA window may not have closed yet.
Will Kyrie Irving play for AUS?
They will be scary good if he joins them and Bogut gets back
Can't wait to spank Argentina. Bronze Medal game for you Argies!
Well done Boomers, I hope Ingles makes NBA or as one person put him Aussie Kukoc![]()
See, this is why Manu doesn't tip you.
Why would Kyrie play for Australia?
Apparently he was born here or some such thing, and knows he won't make US team so..
I'm very proud of the effort the team put out tonight, and of the way they came back from 2 losses to start the Olympics.
Despite a relative dearth of talent when compared with the USA All-Stars, the Aussie team stayed with the US team for 3 quarters through a combination of guts and effort. The score is not an accurate reflection of the game.
Well done Boomers, you can stand tall tonight!
PS As I keep saying, watch Patty become one of the best backup PGs in the NBA next season. We should run the play to get him wide open in the corner with his feet set at least 4 times a game. Great set-foot shooter!![]()
There was talk of Kyrie playing for the Boomers at this olympics, and it didn't happen. If he did he'd be ineligable to play for Team USA in future international tournaments. I guess he thinks he has a shot of making Team USA in the future. So it is unlikely he'll play for the Boomers, unless he is continually overlooked by Team USA.
Aussies just need to hope he doesn't play some stupid friendly for the US and get ruled out for us.
I didn't know that about Kyrie. How long was he in Australia for?
Not long, only first couple years of his life I think
