    Re: World Cup of Basketball in Spain

    I can't really be that mad at Australia for trying their hardest to get a medal, even if that meant not trying for a half.

      I'm surprised anyone really cares that much. They are putting themselves in the best possible scenario..... to win. If that means losing in a non-elimination round.... then so be it.

      They are ultimately trying to win a medal and possibly get in the final. Not holding it against them that the rules and format of the tournament are set up as such.

        I don't think players will ever purposefully play badly, they're all competitors after all.

            It sucks that they get so selfish sometimes. They haven't looked cohesive in the halfcourt all summer, especially against the zone. When Mexico zoned them, USA got super selfish.

            Faried got me cracking up, talking about Spain:

                        France clearly lacks a pg with Parker and De Colo out. I can't believe Croatia sat Tomic the entire last 3 minutes when he was their best offensive player in the 2nd half to that point.

                          France would be really legit with Colo, Tony, Mahimni and Noah... They play some nice basketball.
