    Whistles being handed out left and right in Slovenia’s favour.

    Patty Mills with 42 pts, 9 ast would not let us lose. He is the heart and soul of this team, and I am so happy for him!

    Matisse Thybulle, and Dante Exum have been huge for Australia all tournament. Their defence has made a massive difference.

    The game ended with the ball in Patty Mills’ hands. So fitting.

    CAPTAIN AUSTRALIA!

    We'd be very smart to sign Exum.

    So we won't.

    And Thybulle was +30! That's probably the highest ever against a Slovenian team with Doncic.

    So basically the best US player and the best Australian player are going to be teammates.

    but the US didn't play Jerami Grant

    Sure, Dame sucked, but MIDDLETON SUCKED MORE! And he's an NBA Champion.

    I'm sure Philly would consent to a Dame-for-Thybulle trade.

    Glad he missed out on a medal, but Doncic was pretty superhuman. That said, I wouldn't be surprised to see a couple more Slovenians make the NBA soon - Prepelic, for example.

    Team of the tournament:
    Durant
    Doncic
    Patty Mills
    Ricky Rubio
    Gobert

    Could really have helped their countries:
    Ben Simmons
    Goran "not Zoran" Dragic
    Schröder

    I remain convinced that we intended to draft him but Philly surprised us by not taking Nas:


    (But maybe that's giving our FO too much credit.)

    Another reason to love Thybulle:
