2019 FIBA World Cup

[Jim05]

Ingles and Dellavedova both have had poor shooting games. Can't fault the rest.

Turn overs hurt more. Just no composure and turned to jelly when it mattered.
Must win the next game or it’s an absolute failure of a tournament

Final-2OT

Spain 95
Boomers 88

Bitterly disappointing to lose that one, controlled most of regulation.

Think we will still have a good chance in the bronze medal game, winning the bronze is arguably a better feeling than getting a consolation silver medal IMO.

Think we would prefer to play Argentina rather than France again.

Give me a loss in a gold medal match any day over a Mickey Mouse win for bronze

Boomers are the biggest Dick Tease of team I can ever remember.

Totally get that point of view but after all that has happened with this team over the years, I cannot consider winning a bronze as Mickey Mouse.

Argentina easily account for France 80-66.

Rematch with the cheese eating surrender monkeys it is.

Wish I could be more confident.

PATHETIC!
From a Mills FT away from the Gold medal game to missing the medals altogether.
Absolute failure by the Boomers and the Lemons job must be under pressure

Boomers are the biggest Dick Tease of team I can ever remember.

Repeat.

Final

France 67
Boomers 59

**** heartbreaking.

[Brodlach]

At least we’re consistent

France 67 (De Colo 19, Fournier 16) def Australia 59 (Ingles 17, Mills 15)

[king neptune]

Same old facking story

Played some excellent basketball, got everybody behind them, proved they were worthy and deserving of a medal...

Then just let everybody down yet again

[Gozu]

Spain went on to win gold beating Argentina 95-75 in the final. Patty Mills was probably a bit stiff to miss out on the all-tournament team.
