We were neck & neck but now unfortunately they have upped their ante. We are doing too many turnovers now.

Do the yanks have their best team in mate?
Mr Wright
Jaws
About 6 or 7 of their top 10 players arent even at the olympics.
With that said though, the worst player on the US olympic team is still better than our best player lol.
Decent effort by our boys.

Ahh OK. I thought their best normally went to the Olympics in years gone by?

That was a top effort by the boys. At least we got a quarter up on them in the end. USA would have got a shock during the game, I saw a few nervous faces in the crowd & on the bench during the 1st half.
Mr Wright
Jaws
Yeah for London/Beijing USA sent over a pretty much full strength team.
Different circumstances like injuries, guys having just come off the a long nba 100 plus game season and other guys already having won multiple medals at the olympics were the reasons for the USA not having their best team in Rio.
To put it in league terms todays game would have been like the Kangaroos playing Tonga/Samoa without Cronk, Smith, JT, Inglis, Boyd, Scott and only winning by a try.

Had to have a laugh before, Paul George has come out & labelled us as dirty haha. Sounds a bit like an idiot who doesnt have a clue of the difference between "tough & physical" & "dirty lol.
Mr Wright
Jaws
We do have a few dirty players hahah

I watched the game & from what I saw we just played physical not dirty lol.

A bit like Matt Scott from the Cowboys for example, he plays a tough physical game but he is not at all dirty.
Mr Wright
Jaws
Bogut and Delly have a history of dirty play in the NBA

If they do so be it, seems to me Paul George just doesn't want to accept the fact we gave them a scare & almost outclassed lol. imo they weren't dirty at all anyway. It was a very physical game, both sides were pretty physical.

Kyle Chalmers 100m Gold. Brilliant.
Mr Wright
Jaws
Yeah fair enough.
But imo we are a tough, physical and dirty team. It's what you've gotta do against a MUCH more skilled team.
Difference of opinion, don't take it as a shot to you.
