Just watched the Aussie gals (Maley, Whittle, Mansfield and Alex Wilson) put China under a doona and stroll to a 21-6 win in the Semi. Face off with NZ for the Gold. The lads (Blanchfield, Walker, DJ and Steel) are now up against China.

Pretty much the same tired old squad in the men. None that can handle the ball and certainly not the best in Aus. We still going with Walker and steel ffs, BA clearly don't take 3x3 seriously.
They lose to Mongolia in the final.

More of Dad's Army again, it's really gotten beyond the point of being ridiculous now.
4/15 from 2pt range.
WTF @ DJ still being there, he is a perennial number two - runner-up in NBL, 3x3 Commonwealth Games and now 3x3 Asia Cup. Not a winner.

Once the WC are over the quality players that don't make it should be available for 3x3 selection for next tournaments, Olympics etc.

No Dad's army this time (apart from Blanchfield who has been shooting the lights out). Both teams in Gold medal game, women play NZ and men playing Iran.

Women's starts in 5 min, Men after that I assume (with maybe a bronze medal game in between?).
On Foxtel/Kayo.

Maley/Wilson/Whittle is such a great combo, ability to switch everything is such a luxury in 3x3

Pretty sure the commentator just randomly made it up as a nickname for Whittle (the highlight of the commentary was when he dubbed number 3 for Thailand men "Thaiverson")

He tried to call Hickey The Rattlesnake because we have lots of rattlesnakes in Oz.

they are entertaining. Solid win by the women's team, might need to replace Mansfield though with another 6 foot athlete?

Atwell would be great replacement for Mansfield, Mansfield is a real liability at times in the speed of the 3X3 game.

100% Sam, weird that Atwell was in the 8 available for selection and was not chosen.

Earlier this year
just watching LSU v Iowa, Poa would be a good replacement for Mansfield.
