    What a wasted opportunity to get to the World Cup Finals. Disgusting performance. Thoses guys played with no heart the whole game and all the big names were fucking ghosts. What a disappointment after beating team USA.

    23/59 shooting, 7/31 from three and 13/25 from the line.

    I hope Argentina wins it all

    I'm just sayin, this guy was part of the 04 Olympic Gold medal team and just flat out destroyed Jokic and Gobert in back to back games.

    He's about to run the table on Marc Gasol in the finals.

    And he got rid of his greasy mane. Needs to get back to the league.

    Claver looks good! I'd welcome him back.

    Agreed - especially about the hair. He deserves back much more than Iso Joe.

    Anyone who thinks the international game is soft should watch this game:

    Batum dragged France home on this one.

    We need an Argentinian and then the Blazers would've had ex-players on all four final squads. Props to Patty, Batum, Rudy and Victor.

    I had to take a bit of a break from basketball after Australia's losses at the World Cup. I'm gutted, but really we've only got ourselves to blame. We made errors (turnovers, dumb fouls, missed easy baskets) at crucial points in the last couple of games.

    Well done Spain, Argentina, and France.

    He will be, but plenty of other Aussies should also share the blame. There were worse mistakes made at other key moments of the game.

    The Australia v Lithuania game was even more brutal.

    Certainly did. Stepped up when they needed someone.

    I can't believe it's been almost 10 years since Fabricio Orberto played for us, seems like yesterday.

    Seems Patty may have been in the World Cup All-Star Five until Rubio's performance in the Final pushed Patty out.

    A lot of people can claim to have been screwed: Campazzo was amazing right up to the final. Joe Ingles was at least as important as Patty. Gobert was probably MORE important than Fournier. Bogdanovic looked like tournament MVP but then Australia went further than Serbia, so maybe Patty over Bogdanovic?

    Lmao at the Nigerian coach reaction for the top play. No wonder they couldn't set up a right play and played endless ones on ones. This guy is all for a good show.
