Olympics Thread

During the week I read an article I think it may have been about Dyson Daniels younger brother who is highly rated and more of a pure scorer than his brother but the talk was they will emerge as the number one option on the national team. (for the life of me I cant remember who the article was about) In the next world cup we will basically rely on Giddey and Landale, think we'll start Giddey, Daniels, Green, Kay and Landale. Furphy has some promise, McVeigh can score, Exum is good off the bench. Rocco Zikarsky will likely be in the squad, add to that Tyrese Proctor from Duke and Roman Siulepa who is playing NBL this year.

After this Olympics their is going to be a big changing of the guard not only are Patty, Joe and Delly expected to retire I think the entire coaching staff will be turned over too. Goorjian has already indicated this will be his last Olympics and whoever they appoint will likely bring in their own team.

Oh, Australia has a ton of talent. They just dont have bucket getters like how Patty was.

Yeah definitely, he's scores the ball like a world champion, we had the same problem when Andrew Gaze retired in 2000 (I think 6 players retired from the national program at the same time?). I think the program is in a much better place, we went through some rough cycles after 2000 before Bogut, Mills and Ingles and co emerged 15 years ago.

Spot on assessment all round. I heard that about Daniel’s brother going back couple of years. Massive potential

Well yesterday was garbage day and it was windy so I went out early and picked up the tipped over trash cans and put the trash back in them (as best I could anyway).
Then last night was at the park watching a seminar about raptors (dude had a female perigrine named goose) and saw 2 trash cans tipped over at the park and did the same there.

That counts as some hippy **** right? Or maybe that is woke behavior. Unsure.

Dammit that puts Canada in the Finals with the Kiwis..

Would have really loved to smash the Aussies for the gold.

Oh well them getting bronze is not a bad consolation.

Canada lifted their intensity the boys took the punch and have started swinging back. Anyones game in the 4th, I think we look more connected as a team than them.

Canada's bench (Murray, Nembhard, NAW, Lyles, Olynyk, Birch) is going to have to be more productive if Canada wants to medal: Through the first 2 games, the starters have scored 146 points on .736 TS (unsustainable, obviously). The bench has scored 33 points on .328 TS.

Edey and Wiggins/Mathurin/Sharpe could've made a difference.
