    Bone-Gure….Bone-Gure! Got here to lovely Lille, France about 36 hours ago. What an amazing town. Such an interesting place for Basketball to be held for the Olympics. Huge domed stadium. Watched former Blazer Nico Batum and his fellow Frenchman and the Aussies practice for a bit today. Ore-I-Vwar!

    He's an impostor - all French people are thin (except Gerard Depardieu).

    Very happy to be wrong. Both about the result, and Patty.

    He didn’t show up for the World Cup, but FIBA Patty lives for the Olympics!

    He played much smarter than at the World Cup, better shot selection, and more mid range shots, not just threes.

    Landale was sorely missed at the World Cup, really need someone of his physical presence to finish Giddey’s passes.

    Daniel’s has really elevated his offensive game in this run with Australia, and McVeigh is in the form of his life (which I find unbelievable compared to his stint with the 36ers).

    Patty Mills is the Australian LeBron.
    https://www.fiba.basketball/en/even...-place-for-most-threes-ties-for-5th-in-steals

    And he's a free agent... BRING HIM BACK (most of our players have been raised on Bluey so will totally get him).
