    16-9 in turnovers didn't help, but what a great effort. Hopefully we play them off for the gold.

      I loved Bogut's attitude post game. Really disappointed and shot down the praises. Fingers crossed they can get a medal.

        Patty Mills was immense.

        Carmelo was the difference. Just iced it with some clutch 3s.
        Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

          Loving watching Delly and Mills working together. Super exciting. Also loving the way Bogut is playing, he's been a real force.

              What a sensational swim. Nearly a body length behind at the turn. Wow.

                Made a great decision. 100m freestyle is the premium swimming event in the world, so he just set himself up for life.

                  Mills was great. Bogus is a beast. He just runs the game. It's like he was the one who bought the ball so he gets to set up every play.
                  They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

                    Originally from Port in the SANFL but played twice as many AFL games for the Crows as he did for Port. Was also drafted by Richmond and Collingwood but never played for either. Fun fact - got done for draft tampering after being selected by the Pies (told other clubs he would only play for Collingwood) and got banned from playing for them for 3 years.

                      Mills and Bogut are just quality international basketballers and were in the top few on the court today.

                      Hopefully Bogut can hold out for the rest of the games. He looked pretty gassed by the end.

                        He looked like he'd given it all, sat down a bit and then went and gave a bit more.

                          Bogut should be able to play fewer minutes against China and Venezuela, all going well.

                              The other night I watched AUS v Costa Rica. It was an engrossing, fascinating spectacle. I have no idea who won, or what the score was. But it was amazing.

                                Great game by the Boomers. Early foul trouble and turnovers made it hard in the 2nd half, but they did a great job. Shout out to Boges, clearly in pain, but giving everything for the team, and still having great impact. Patty Mills is a champ.
