Summer 2015: FIBA games of Utah Jazz players

That's not at all what I said though. I was really making a dig at personal trainers more than going into details on an athletic trainer, but hey, we all see what we wanna see.

Okay, sorry I guess I misunderstood this:

Basically an athletic trainer is a personal trainer that actually had to go to school...

I thought you meant this:

you think she is basically a personal trainer with a degree.

Most people dont really understand the difference between a strength and conditioning coach or performance coach with an athletic trainer or with a personal trainer.

I understand why this is the case, but I have lot of respect for athletic trainers especially in high-level sports like this. The amount of work that must go into helping these guys stay healthy is immense and it must be hard to get so personally invested in something that ultimately you can't fully control.
 
Considering how successful summer league was you'd figure Root Sports Network or even KJZZ would be all over that. What else do they even have the rights to show right now?

But to get rights to FIBA events your bribes have to be large. I don't think KJZZ has that kind of money.
 
Australia plays vs Lithuania tomorrow morning(9:30 AM(PST)). The game could probably be watched on some of the standard streaming sites.

Looks like it will be on the streaming sites. Australia's arch nemesis NZ plays Croatia tomorrow as well.

the game starts in 5 minutes.


As per @Urbodo, Matthew Dellavedova won't play today vs Lithuania. Look for a lot of Dante Exum... Which should be fun.

Updates during the game/interesting moments:
Q1: Dante to the rim! Hurray! Nice layup after blowing past his man on the right side...
...For some reason they are playing him off the ball again :(
Good pass to Jawai in the pnr... he can't finish the bunny layup.

Dante out(+7 on his first stint in the game)

Bogut's offensive game has become cringeworthy(his passing is still great). Interesting to see Domantas Sabonis play(potential first rounder next year).

Q2: Dante back in with 5:30 to go.
Great contest on a missed 3.
They are playing him off-the-ball AGAIN! Dammit! That's pissing me off.
Nice backdoor cut(more like misunderstanding in Lithuania's defense) left Dante completely open... easy pass for Bogut and dunk for Dante.
Dante is making some nice passes off the hard hedge, but his roll man can't finish on several occasions.
Dante got away from the hard hedge again and made the on-point pass again, this time Anderson finished. It's really great to see him make those passes. Will dissuade opponents hard hedging if he can consistently make the pass to the open man.

Q3: Dante feeds Motum in the post, he finishes.
Dante leaks on a fast break, finishes the layup.
(Gudaitis looks good and active, Jawai has become useless)

Q4: Motum is having a great game...
For some reason Lemanis decided to play Adam ****ing Gibson in the 4th instead of Exum...
Exum finishes with 6pts(3/6 FG, 0/2 3P FG), 2 rbs, 2 ast, 1 TO in 20 minutes of play
Exum was +2, Australia lost by 12.

Exum looked good in his first minutes. They have no decent big man to pick and roll with but Exum made some great passes to #15 but he couldnt do anything with the ball. Great blow by from Exum. It looks like the team does not trust Exum or does not like him. They yell at him a lot and avoid passing to him sometimes.
 
Keep the updates coming guys

Sounds like they are threatened by his talent level.
