SF: Australia vs Serbia

[Taddis]

Lithuanian commentators on TV mostly blames Australia bigs for not hedging/switching to screens on Teodosic

[Boomer]

Boomers look nervous, mills is the only one backing himself shooting

[Beez]

FINALLY!!! A 3 second call. That bearded dude lives in the lane!

[CoachZ]

Coach ,so what Serbs are doing in defense that Lithuania did not managed ?

We went with big lineup again on defense. We are not switching on defense, just running over and under one the screens. We closed the loop screen, which is basically their one trick pony for Mills, he gets of 70% from it. We are not pressuring the ball so much and not diving in the passing lanes. And the key is that the paint is locked, and if the ball goes in it won't come out. That is the key.

Same old Australia, getting blown out in yet another Olympic semifinal.

This will be interesting how will Australia handle adversity. Aside from the US game everything has come easy. They don't seem to be handling pressure well.

[Silent Killer]

what in the blue moon? WOW.. This is not the boomers that we saw all throughout the tournament. we can't shoot a 3 pointer.. credits to serbian defense.

[Dtown]

A five point quarter and a nine point quarter. There are no words...

Yep , this garbage to be honest 14 points in half , that shit is embarrassing, yes good d , but it's garbage

[El Toro]

wtf? 14 pts in two quarters?

[Richey666]

Jesus Christ, am I the only one seeing Serbia playing rugby, not basketball in defense? Even in typical Euroleague game, some would have fouled out by now?

Yep. You are the only one. The defense is clean as it gets, within the rules. Actually the refs got a couple of calls wrong on the other side.
