Bogi is my fav on the team but isn’t very popular here.  

Isn't very popular here?  What?  I think your general negative attitude is skewing your opinion on this.  I couldn't tell you the last time I saw anyone on the Squawk criticize or say something remotely negative about him.  He's seems genuinely loved on here.  Or at the very least recognized as a real asset to the team.

Dyson vs Bogi for the starting SG spot.

Aussie's up BIG (20 pts) since the Joker sat....Patty Mills leading the charge.

Patty going HAM!!!

Patty is insane when he suits up for Australia

Serbia cut into the lead from 24 to 12. Aussie leads 54-42 at the half.

Ivan is going to give you the double birds for forgetting.

I’ll gladly take that over him trying to choke me out.

Wish he could have played like that for us but obviously big difference between international play and NBA play.   Amazing how he is Australia's best scorer and in some games best player and he can't even contribute in garbage time here.

Serbia comeback on tap.

Game tied 78-78, 2:52 remaining.

Why is Serbia playing Australia and Canada has France?  Canada has the best record and Aus has the worst.

It should be

Canada 3-0 vs Australia. 1-2

France 2-1 vs Serbia 2-1

I am confused

[JayBirdHawk]

What a finish. 9.8 seconds left..Aussie's down 2 with the ball.

The number of points a team wins by also factors in.

sure but France has two wins while Australia only has one.  

Canada is the top team of those 4 and Australia is the lowest ... weird

It should be record then points

I don't want Canada to have to play France on their home court with Frances size when they should be playing AUS.

Kinda BS

There's a rule that says teams from the same Group can't play in the quarterfinals.  So Canada couldn't play Australia.

Here are the numbers for our boys:

 

Bogi:

17 points on 6-17 shooting (3-8 3pt), 5 rebounds, 6 assists, 0 steals, 1 block, 3 turnovers

Daniels:

0 points on 0-2 shooting (0-1 3pt), 1 rebound, 1 assist, 4 steals, 0 blocks, 2 turnovers

I’ve been a remarkably balanced poster here for 15.5 years if I do say so myself.  I always appreciate the criticism tho, constructive or otherwise.

Balanced you say?

My favorite race of the Olympics was today -- did not disappoint!!

For context, Great Britain's Kerr and Norway's Ingebrigtsen were the two favorites here.  Ingebrigtsen won gold in Tokyo and him/Kerr have been talking mad shit to each other leading up to the race.  Cole Hocker has a strong last 50-100m kick so him just staying in the mix for most of the race was the goal, and he managed to do that despite Ingebrigtsen pushing an insane pace the first couple of laps.
