Sad for my boy Thybulle but hopefully the Aussies get the bronze.

This is also where the Aussies might miss Ben Simmons, because, say what you will about Ben's offense, but he is excellent at guarding Luka. He basically shuts the guy down and gets him visibly frustrated which is amazing to watch.

I'm not all in on FIBA rules but man I absolutely love it that these refs don't award players selling out to draw fouls while shooting 3's.

I did see one called where the Aussie shooter was barely breathed on though.

Was hoping to see a matchup with Luka, but a rematch with a set roster and rotations is a nice recipe for payback.

Yeah that was a bad call

They need to come out strong in the gold medal game instead of the habit of the last few games of getting down double digits and riding Durant to a 2nd half comeback. It's gonna be challenging to come back on a team with Rudy Gobert in the middle shutting down things.
