I can name 50 posters that are funnier . . .

The only funny thing about him is his poor grammar.

One thing I must say, I had assumed with the lack of bigmen on team USA, basically with just Bosh and Howard in the middle, they would get outrebounded a lot more when either was out of the game. I also expected that they would get in a lot more foul trouble, specifically Howard. I'm surprised these haven't been the issues for Team USA...

lack of big men will be a problem once the US team faces teams with bigs, like spain, and even australia with bogut back in the line up

Unfortunately, height does matter.

height certainly helps, but if you have the skills to compensate then of course you can make it, Nate Robinson and T J Ford are two great examples. Being an Aussie I must admit I don't follow the local league, as the NBA is far superior, but I was impressed by Patrick Mills I think the guy has some real talent and hopefully a few scouts took notice.

Fortunately for Mills there is no subs ute for speed in the NBA. He made Chris Paul and Deron Williams look slow on a few drives. Factor in that he a PG . You gotta like his chances of cracking it.

...And put 60 points in the last 18 minutes.

Bogut injured his ankle by then. Australian middle very thin with-out him.

Aussies for bronze!

Decent effort by the Aussies. They might come better than 8th after all...
