Down to the last cuts in the squad. I’m interested to see how they’ll play without an NBA level centre. Small ball or die!
Shooting badly doesn’t worry me so much. That might just be a one quarter thing.
But our overall lack of size, and not so hot defense are a bit of a worry
They’re hunting Patty on defense, then someone steps up to help, and that puts everyone in rotation, and Brazil end up with a pretty open shot.
I love Patty Mills, but he’s having a bit of a shocker to start. But Patty in a Boomer jersey is usually a good bet. Go Patty!
Reath is chasing out way too high on defense
Patty looks to be a bit of a liability on defense.
Felt like Brazil should have been up more than 2 by halftime, but it’s different when the ball goes in the hoop
It’s Giddey’s team now. We’ll only go as far as he can take us.
Now we’re outrebounding them on the offensive end 😆
Little Brazil guard has played well (Yago?). He’s quick as…
Ingles is such a crafty player. He’d make you bump into him, get the foul, and knick your wallet too.
gg Brazil
Small ball won’t work if we don’t knock down 3s (26%)…
Just checked out the South Sudan highlights.
Not such a tough challenge, apparently, and looks like all the players got a good run. Except for Landale, who went down with an ankle and won’t play in the World Cup.
Green looked good. Thybulle sinking 3s? Sign me up for more like that. Reath 15 points in 17 minutes. Still only 31% from 3. Needs to get better.
Muluach from South Sudan is 7’ and apparently 16 years old. Only played 7 minutes and they were all highlights lol. Can we get him to immigrate?
