2024 Olympic Basketball

Greece loses to Spain. Giannis didn’t get any help again. Walkup has had a tough Olympics thus far.

He was really bad against Canada. Didn’t see this one but yeah looks like it wasn’t an improvement. Meanwhile Giannis had 27 on 17 shots and played 34 mins

Good chance USA plays the third place team in that group

Aussies up 2 on Canada after 1. Really good game so far.

A breakout Olympics for my Hawk Dyson Daniels and perhaps for @mgl and @colin’s Josh Giddey

Knick fans never saw this RJ Barrett. Canada wins by 10.

Murray shot poorly again but thought he played a good 4th. Facilitated the buckets that pulled them away:

Unfortunately Patty Mills is washed

Murray did play much better today, yes. If Canada keeps getting this SGA and Barrett they don’t need him to do too much

Interestingly Olynyk almost dropped out of the rotation. Khem Birch played more than him

I think it was more of a matchup thing. Olynyk got a couple fouls and Landale is real physical. Birch did some good things in limited mins. Surprised that Australia kept Ingles and Delly on the roster over Thuybulle.

Between Daniels and Exum, how many more non shooting defense only guards do you want!

Tominaga DNP-CD in the first half. What are we even doing. :rofl:

This board will melt down if Tominaga hits one over a Wemby contest.

If only Australia could get Ben Simmons to play, then they’d really have some shooting in the lineup.

France only up 5 at halftime and they shot 7/12 from 3.

Mills stinks right now. Giddey is the one facilitating he’s 6’8. You can find room for Thuybulle over Delly.

You gotta stretch France out and that’s what Japan is doing with Hawkinson and Hachimura.

I think playing two completely washed guards who could shoot at one point speaks to their desperation for the skill

Fournier with an crazy step back to tie the game

I’m just shocked that Jordan Hawkinson has 16 points on 10 shots over Rudy/Victor
