    Ah makes sense. Australians love to get on their high horse about drugs in sport and turn a blind eye to their own transgressions.

    The AFL team that Bogut supports ran a systemic doping program involving banned supplements and got caught so the big man is a complete hypocrite.

    Jock Landale is worth being on the Rockets' radar. Has size, defends well, works his ass off and can shoot the 3. Only 23 and likely the next Aussie in the NBA. Like his game.

    Noooooo Sun Yang is a blatant cheater and an obnoxious person. He deserves to be called out.

    No doubt, Sun Yang is an *******, just like Andrew Bogut is

    Seems like he is the same fouling machine that he was with the Rockets.

    I always enjoyed watching him play though.

    Team USA isn't even guarding the "MVP" - they're just packing the paint.

    FIBA stopping the game again to go to instant replay for a backcourt "unsportsmanlike" technical foul on a soft, NBA Take Foul.

    2 shots AND the ball

    Committed by Giannis, because he didn't know the rule. You can convince me that we should get rid of Take Fouls that slow down the game, but JVG would surely be saying, "How is this speeding up the game, when they have to go to Instant Replay to calll it." It's reffed like a flagrant foul, checking to see if the defender was going for the ball, but can be called on soft contact, so more frequently.

    damn, with all this Instant Replay, Lithuania got majorly screwed by *not* going to IR.

    France blocked a last second FT off the rim, which is allowed, but defender can't touch the rim (as in all leagues). He totally swiped the ball and the rim. That's 2 points, for the lead.

    Yeah, its a bit silly.

    The game is stopped too many times for replay, way too many times. This FIBA tourney is a great example of overusing it.

    Oh I really hope France beats Australia tomorrow night forcing Australia to match up against Team USA in what i believe is a knockout game?

    Would be amazing to watch after the nonsense the Australian media has been saying after the win in the warm up game before the tourney started.

    He might be a cheater but so are the Aussies......right after Bogut commented on him.
    Lelz their own national team.

    And let us be honest, doping is much more common in swimming and track and field than team sports.

    And a lot more substances are banned than elsewhere.
