Covid positive due to playing team USA/Bradley Beal+++

Well they're eluding to it but nothing has been confirmed, then Bogut followed up by posting a funny meme so who knows what the truth is just yet. It could just be that Bradley Beal is confirmed now and now we have something to worry about. I don't know.

If Boomers are out though, so too will be the USA and the whole competition will be a farce.

Nigeria would have to be also yeah, if an Aus player has it? Our group would have 2 teams in it... Surely they hold the games back a little.

well I'd like to think so. But Anstey also saying stuff. I don't know if Anstey is just reacting to Bogut or not. Bogut seems to be posting to create a bit of drama with 'say it isnt so" rather than something specific or something.

Bogut went full Karl beston with his approach to this one.

Bogut just posted "Boomers all good"

Olgun -

"As of this evening, every Australian Boomers player and official had returned a negative COVID-19 test, multiple sources told ESPN. The Boomers played Team USA on Tuesday in Las Vegas; since that game, the USA's Bradley Beal has entered health and safety protocols."


Bogut -

"Boomers all good"


THANK GOD!

THANK GOD!!! I was stressing the f out

It seems like Bradley Beal isnt even confirmed yet so this all might be a mountain out of a mole hill. He probably was a contact of a case.

Now Olgun saying Bogut's tweet is about something completely different... What is the big fella on about now

How long ago did we play the US? It can take a few days for infection to become detectable.

I think we might be seeing some sort of late roster change and Bogut is mimicking Karl Beston on it.

Wouldn't surprise me if someone is shipping out for Cooks or Giddey

The cryptic dickheadery of Olgun and Bogut needs to stop with the "Say it aint so Basketball Australia" and Olgun going "he's talking about something compleeeetly different". How about just tell us what it is, or say nothing. Or at least confirm that all Boomers and Opals are healthy, safe and ready to go chase some fucking medals?!?

Bogut is attention seeking as always. Don't get sucked in Hoops and leave this garbage to Twitter.

Because Olgun hasnt said anything different and alleges to have spoken to many sources my feeling is that Bogut's tweet probably isn't Boomer related at all. If it was something bad or scary I think Olgun would have at least alluded to it in some way. I think Bogut needs his head read after that Tweet. A lot of people really care about the Boomers and he knows what is going on with them right now, so it's pretty idiotic to have tweeted what he tweeted when he did.

Yeah I have met him. yes, he's a chump. reminds me Oswald Cobblepot (aka Batman's penguin). But he for whatever reason has that basketball job writing for ESPN so his words carry some weight.

Bogut went full Karl best-tard on that tweet so I now hold his words with the kind of weight that everyone else seems to - very little.

Now Chris Anstey inferring Opals...

But he for whatever reason has that basketball job writing for ESPN so his words carry some weight.

Could be Opals related with what Anstey replied to Heal but really... who even knows? It's been an Australian basketball jock strap convention on Twitter tonight with everyone saying something a bit stupid.

They've all taken a turn to be Karl Beston and infer theyre in the know, but disclose absolutely nothing

Anstey tweets:

"Boomers seem to be all good But..... Man facepalming"

Who is Karl Beston? That twat on Twitter who passes himself off as an hoops expert?

"Who is Karl Beston? That twat on Twitter who passes himself off as an hoops expert?"


None other than!

Perthworld you seem to hate moldavan or whatever his name is lol Why do u always talk about him?

Glad this thread cleared everything up then.

If there is a positive we ain't in Victoria so get them on the plane and lets head to Tokyo.

Discussions are underway about canceling tomorrow's pre-Olympic exhibition game between the Australian Boomers and Team USA, sources told
@WindhorstESPN
and I. The USA's Bradley Beal has been ruled out of the Olympics, while Jerami Grant is in COVID health and safety protocols.

Question regarding replacement players, how come teams like USA, Nigeria can still bring players in that weren't originally listed, but Australia can only use Giddey and Cooks as injury replacements? That's how I've understood it since the final team was announced.

Yeah, definitely cambage I'd say. Sounds like she not only got into a fight with Nigerian players but she's been going around vegas treating it like her own personal holiday while everyone else has been adhering to strict covid protocols.

It's okay though. She'll claim racism and people will buy it!

Ben Simmons would co-produce a victimhood documentary for her

Settle down ME, it's News Corp.

Wonder what happens with Boomers exhibitions now. I am sure the USA game has to be cancelled but what would we do from here? Not warm up until game 1? Play Spain in Vegas instead of USA? Get on the first flight to Tokyo and hunker down for a week?

"Get on the first flight to Tokyo and hunker down for a week?"

I could think of worst places to be. Uber eats that prime grade sashimi!

Playing Spain would be good for both teams.
USA campaign a bit harder now maybe

Boomers USA game 2 cancelled

Opals USA still going ahead

Interesting that Spain still seems willing to play USA

Bogus has an excellent basketball brain, but no real sense of reality off the court, and no social filter at all.

He is a basketball idio savant. I respect his contributions on the court and in game leadership, but t he's Pete Evans level intellect when it comes to life skills.

By the time they all finish in Japan, they will be lucky to have any not with Covid19...Japan does not want to hold the games due to their increased infection rates, but the IOC have insisted stating the TV rights and Sponsors will cost too much if they pull the games.
Let's just hope these athletes in all disciplines don’t end up having ongoing health issues after these game, it’s privdn vaccinations don’t stop you catching or spreading it, just potentially not getting seriously ill, but even that is not guaranteed.
Madness holding these games in this current climate.

" Australian athletes have been vaccinated."

So had the paramedics in Sydney, the multiple health workers overseas, vaccines don't stop you contracting it, just hopefully reduces the severity of symptoms, you can still be infectious and vaccinated

The truth comes out about Cambage, and her willingness to "fight racism" while dishing some out to Nigerian players because she's not a hypocrite or anything
