    On the other side, Australia's players started to choke with the pressure, and with Mills exhausted, nobody took the shots.
    I don't agree with him either. I found it funny. in general I like the Australian way of expressing things.

Another show that defense, tactical discipline and a true floor general (eventhough many laughed on him all the time), veteran leaders and clear defined roles are everything in such a tournament. Refs...lol Incredible. Always from the same directions by the way.
    Exactly. This is why I may suspect that you would have liked to have Teo and a "veteran" trainer for Serbia. They will be in the final instead of playing uninteresting games.

Maybe you should send a couple of people there to learn how to watch and how to compete. Instead you are crying or trowing chairs to the rivals.
    We have a couple of talents and we should send them to Spain for their PhD on flopping

    with the aussie possession it would be quick spanish foul and potential 2 or 3 point lead.
    can you see the difference?
    I can see the difference. But as a customer, if I pay to come out as the winner of this game I'd be pretty pissed if my refs give Australia a chance to win. Can you see the difference between giving Australia a chance and not giving them any chance?

    That can be a factor for the final game. But so far, our "load management" has worked fine. Let's see how many minutes Gobert and Scola play today.

    If Ingles doesn´t help Mills needs to keep on playing 1vs1 and running the whole time to play his catch and shoot. This works for 40min but 48 is a lot.

    It´s not Mills fault at all.

    You simply can't ride one player like that for two weeks. He was totally spent well before the second overtime, and no one else stepped up to the plate. My guess is they will address that in Tokio bringing some more ballhandlers. Ben Simmons maybe? This won't be the last chapter in the Australia - Spain saga.

    Spain is a mini USA. With all their success it’s expected for everyone to nitpick and come after them about every little play.
    It comes with the territory. I had no problem with the officiating in this game.

    I could understand this from French people, Serbian people, but ... Greece, oh man!
    does this help you?
