Y’all getting Bogdanned right now bro, 20 point lead with a minute remaining in the half… That gold medal isn’t looking good

Hype Machine getting out of dodge quicker than Ryan Lochte

[losnopesosParticipant]

Lochte must have been high af to think he could make up that story and get away with it.

 If that’s not the most disappointing game and biggest choke I’ve ever seen I don’t know what is. Serbia played outstanding but us Aussies flat out $&@? Ourselves! 

We still have a chance to medal but dam this one will be hard to recover from.

Who needs to win basketball games when you can get gold in the modern pentathlon!

[Hype Machine]

Looks like everyone gets a free swing at the Hype Machine for my bold prediction that the Aussies would win gold. 

Easiest cheap-shot ever, so might as well take it. 

Despite a bad loss today, I stand by my predictions. 

I’m also predicting a Boomers win vs Spain and Bronze Medal. 

 

 

 

 

 

[raybeasParticipant]

Missed on both semifinals, and therefore the final. Yet you still stand by your predictions? I guess I don’t know what that means. Is Austrailia still in contention for the gold?

Joe Wolf’s predictions seem more likely than yours at this point.

[GronounoursParticipant]

 He meant his predictions are still valid for the 2020 Olympics. Boomers get gold for sure.

[IndianaBasketballParticipant]

The Aussies embarrassed their country with this one, huh Hype? Lol.

 

[ChoppyParticipant]

Look, I know you’re taking a swing at hype but to say they embarrassed their country is a step too far. I for one am proud of what they have done despite this massive choke and am hopeful they can recover for the bronze. 

[IndianaBasketballParticipant]

Just taking a jab at Hype after he said the USA team was embarrassing their country because they almost lost. 

I definitely think the Aussies represented their country well 

 

[ChoppyParticipant]

 Fair enough mate. All good.

[omphalosParticipant]

It upsets me that Hype is the default Aussie in the forum now. 

Almost as much as the ass-kicking we took.

 

[SeattleSuperChronicsParticipant]

 Lol hahahahaha #dirtydelly hahahahah

wow and it wasn’t even close. Australia basketball is like that 40 year old white guy at the ymca

[ChoppyParticipant]

Yeah, Delly played sooooo dirty in that one… Oh wait… No he didn’t. You’re just a hater and you’re gonna hate no matter what. 

And you’re bringing race into things again by referring to "40yo white guy"?  C’mon dude, you can do better than that. Bring it up a notch. 

[OhCanada-Participant]

As much as Seattle super chronics can be known for making arrogant remarks I gotta defend him on this one. The 40 yr old white guy wasn’t a racist remark or made to target 40 yr old white guys on this forum. There literally is some random 40 yr old white guy at every YMCA I’ve ever played at but I must say LA Fitness is a much better facility.

 As for Delly, I’ll try to explain why he is called dirty. The whole reason he is in the NBA is he pushes the boundries of effort, energy, toughness, competitiveness, and really doesnt give an inch to anybody. A good example is most PG’s in the league will allow the opposing teams big man to set a hard pick on them if legal. Delly won’t he will strike them back and find a way to not get called for it like falling on people or flailing his arms/elbows. This is uncommon and not within the unwritten rules laws. When he strikes back I gotta admit he has been caught striking for players legs. Its hard to call him dirty when most if what he has been accused of was just retaliation or did seem incedental but the fact that he is involved in these incedents 10x more than your average NBA player should tell that its not all just a coincidence.

I’m gonna pass on bashing Hype the loss would likely be punishment enough.

 

[ChoppyParticipant]

 I know why the superchronic thinks delly is dirty, just don’t agree with it. Much like what happened in the Spain game where you had flops and phantom foul calls gifting the floppers, Australia doesn’t play like that (even in soccer where it’s accepted). We don’t go down unless our legs are broken. Delly epitomises this. Just because others have never seen someone playing like this in the NBA before it’s assumed he’s dirty. Look, this is my last post for a while. I’m sick of getting bashed for defending my country and team. I have made no outrageous claims yet cop it anyway. Who cares. Neg’s away! 

[nath09Participant]

Don’t stress over Delly haters. He’s getting paid large none of his haters in here are.
