@@Obiamajoyisrmd Is it? The guy is tiny and is 35 years old. He hardly plays during the regular season but tries his guts out and plays every minute possible in every international game, regardless of importance. This will be his 5th Olympics! (that's 20 years!) - the most of any basketballer ever. He is far from the most talented but has been the top scorer at the Olympics in 2012 and 2020. Again in this game, playing with and against players far more decorated and talented than he, he stood out as the best player on the court due to his passion to play his absolute best for his country. It's very commendable IMO.

They need to get out of the Group stage in the 2nd, 4th, 6th or 8th spot for a chance at silver. 7th is the worst spot as you play US in the quarters. 3rd and 5th can play US in the semis for a bronze medal chance. So even if they somehow beat Greece, Spain, and Canada to progress out of the Group stage, there's still a good chance they're facing the US in the quarters and getting knocked out, or facing them in the semis for a bronze shot. Best case scenario they sweep their group and no other team sweeps their group, other than the US. If they drop games along with other teams, they're leaving their fate in the hands of the +/- gods. Serbia might tank on the last day versus South Sudan so they can manipulate points for the easier road.

He did shoot like this a few seasons back, Kyrie was out, Harden missed time, but he and KD had good chemistry right up to the All star. He was close to leading the 3 point count and percentage for the season and got invited to the 3 point shoot out.

Some things about Serbia: -Please never let Guduric be the primary ball handler ever again. He seemed like he couldn't pace himself, would be out of control most of the time. Constant turnovers. -Guduric as the ball-handler leaves Micic as a spot-up shooter which is just absolutely insane, making a former Euroleague MVP just a spot up guy. -Jaramaz was atrocious. -Pokusevski should be starting. They were starting Nikola Jovic in last year's World Cup, Poku can literally do everything Jovic can and arguably better. Heavily increase his minutes, he should NOT only be playing only 12mpg. This was an exhibition so maybe they were just testing out different styles of play, so hopefully we never see this ever again. If they want to win against top teams like USA, Canada, France and Germany they're probably gonna have to consider playing Jokic, Bogdan, and Micic the entire game. Jokic and Bogdan are used to playing 40mpg in a Playoff setting so they should be fine, idk about Micic.

OK so reading the comments there must be a lot more casual NBA fans watching FIBA games this year. Australia has made the semi finals of the Olympics in the Men's 5 out of the last 9 tournaments (current bronze medal holders). They are not some scrub team. They don't have any one player that is on Jokic's level, but FIBA rules make for a more team focused style than the NBA and they have a much deeper roster than most teams. This is not some wild upset, its literally World #4 vs #5.

A ok many casuals with an opinion.

[@stevem4660]

Australia is vastly overrated. There are better teams than australia who are not ranked higher. Slovenia, Greece, France just to name a few. Rankings don’t mean much.

[@Ive-Wasted-My-Life]

@stevem4660 How are they overrated? They're rated as a 5-8 team by most people and lost to the 4 seed in OT in the quarter finals. Theyre accurately rated I'd say. My comment above never said they were a favourite, just that they're not a minnow because people were freaking out that Serbia lost a warm up game to them.

A lot of people obviously dont get the preparatory games. Of course, everybody likes to win whenever possible but these are the games where you try this and that, and try this player in this role, and shuffle things around. Australia is very, very good team. Tough team. Of course, when fires on all cylinders Serbia is clearly better. USA is clear favorite, but, ona good day, there are couple of teams that could beat US team. It s gonna be a really competitive and interesting tournament. France, Greece, Australia, Germany, Spain, Serbia, Canada....it s gonna be a bloodbath 😃
