[Olympics- Basketball] 3.8/ 14:00 Australia- Argentina
In fact, FIBA had them as their number one ranked team coming into the Olympics and Australia has far from disappointed.
Their roster is chalk full of NBA players including Patty Mills who is right there with Ricky Rubio as far as great international point guards. They also have one of the best shooters in the NBA in Joe Ingles as well as Matthew Dellavedova-who will always be steady and make the right play.
They even have a defensive stopper in Philadelphia 76er Matisse Thybulle.
Their opponent, Argentina, has mostly disappointed thus far in Tokyo. Slovenia blew the doors off them from the get go and the final score read as only a ten point loss against Spain-but, they should have lost by fifteen to a Spaniard team that didn't play all that well, other than Rubio, against them.
Australia feels as though they are the better team right now than Spain and I expect a similar result and game arc for the Boomers against the Argentines.
Even if Argentina comes out punching the Aussies should eventually make them wilt away for a pretty easy win.
