NBA Season - now 24/25

The first half between Oz and Canada was excellent. Giddey, Daniels, Landale and Exum superb.
Second half the wheels fell off the Aussies. Poor rotations by Goorjan, bad use of timeouts when Canada were making a run, and Mills offering zilch.
Massive game coming against Greece.

Mills was terrible - not just offering zilch, but his poor shot selection killed them.
How good was Landale though? Giddey was excellent too.

McVeigh had a good game against Spain too. Some of these NBL players are doing their best to look good while in the international shop window

And the turnovers too.
Their best lineup is Jock, McVeigh, Exum, Giddey, Daniels

If you haven’t seen the game, try and watch the highlights of the Japan vs France game. Was pretty good.

You know I love my bball bro - but there’s just no way that I’m watching the highlights of that game

Okay then. It went to OT (Japan actually should’ve won in regulation) and one of the Japanese guards was lights out. But Wemby took over in OT and France got the win.
Huchimura was ejected (harshly) in my view but Japan hung in there.

that US team is quite ridiculous. The Sudanese went on a little run in the 4th this morning, and then the US kick it out to Durant who drains a huge 3 and it's curtains. The talent discrepancy is stark (not surprising given 3 of the Sudanese have been on a Taipans roster recently).
Durant looks incredible this Olympics.

3-on-3 is fucking weird with the rules though. I reckon there is enough of a difference to negate the obvious talent advantage an NBA player would have.

get the fuck out man - are you honestly telling me that a team of Brown, Brunson, KAT, Randle couldn't deal to these other clowns?
They'd win in a canter

12 second shot clock, no pull up 3s on the break? absolutely zero post up game? Soft NBA fluffybunnies would be blowing in seconds

3-on-3 is basically a different sport to standard Bball let alone NBA ball. The way it is reffed in particular. If you haven’t been playing at a decent level and used to the rules and nuances of it, then I don’t think it’s a walk in the park to transition.
I have a few mates who played standard ball and are now on the Asia circuit and it took them a year or so to get comfortable with the game.

@ACT-Crusader Good shot from the game
@voodoo there was an inbounds play when one of the Japanese guards who was 5’8 was being guarded by Wemby and the only way to get the ball in was to go between Wemby’s legs
-
@mariner4life there's plenty of post up - it's just post-feed, kick-out, loads of 3's, the odd spin move down low. Little bit of drive and dish.
Brunson would be amazing
