Congrats to Australia. Man, Baynes hit 5 3's? WTF, he used to be terrible at shooting anything outside the paint.

Yeah he couldn’t miss lol

I wish I could see it. I don't know if I want France or Australia to win.

I want Ingles coming into the season with as much confidence and cockiness as possible. Lol

Dude he busted out his 3 ball two playoffs ago. Try to stay current.

Yeah, my goal is not a Championship. I hope to just be able to pay my mortgage, keep my hourly job, have some good times and live to see the next decade. A secondary goal of mine is watching entertaining Utah Jazz Basketball.

I'm feeling pretty good about my secondary goal.

The whole decade? Thats optimistic dude, i mostly just try to make it through my shift, then the day, then the week.

Hey I knew he can make one or two... but freaking 5? must be his career high. Good for him, hard work pays off.

Rudy's never going to hear the end of this.

Next Ingles will be trash talking to Rubio in semis. If you guys beat Spain you better win gold this time.

If only we had Dante ..

Ingles is working Gobert on several of these plays....

Or Simmons. If you guys had Simmons I think you could have a chance to win Gold tbh (don't beat me up over this guys)

I’m not sure he would help that much. FIBA you seriously need to be able to shoot.

A.) What a great game.

B.) Joe and Rudy were both pretty damn good in this game. Rudy’s screens were fantastic all game long.

C.) Rudy’s left handed hook at 5:10 was pretty dang nice.

D.) Joe looks dialed in. I know last year was hard for him, but hopefully he’s back and ready to roll.

E.) If the Jazz get a chance to add Patty Mills, they’d better pull the trigger. He has looked amazing.

I don’t think Dante is much better at shooting lol

 

[MVP]

If only we had Dante ..

I think you are better without him. If only you had Simmons on the other hand...

 

[Jazz]

I think you are better without him. If only you had Simmons on the other hand...

Hey ****** shut up

 

[MVP]

I’m not sure he would help that much. FIBA you seriously need to be able to shoot.

You can play him with 4 shooters and he would add another level of passing and defense. With the way Baynes became stretch 5 it opens tons of room for Simmons to abuse smaller guards in the post.

Too easy ....

 

[MVP]

Too easy ....

Well, yeah with USA sending their team F or whatever...

I know it’s just FIBA and it’s not a great indicator....but is it a little concerning Donovan—the guy we need to take a big step for championship hopes—has probably played the worst of our 3 guys in FIBA? I just have not at all felt like he’s looked like he’s taken that next big step. NBA game is obviously different, and Rudy and Joe have played in FIBA before, but Don hasn’t got to the free throw line, and his shot certainly hasn’t been great. He’s played great defense and done a decent job of getting assists and passing at times, but I’ve just felt he’s been a bit underwhelming from what I thought we might see, offensively anyway. The free throws have to come up, he barely shot his first two free throws of the entire tournament today.
