    Yeah, Serbia is good and they're missing Toedosic with an injury. Still can win Gold.

    I think Russia lost to Poland 79-74. Poland is 4-0.

    Turkey had a let down after losing that game to USA?

    Australia’s biggest obstacle could be themselves. Missing Bolden, Maker, Simmons. Although the States are basically missing 10 of their best too.

    Why do you think Australia themselves could be ther obstacle? (Because of the missing players?) I wish Simmons was playing.

    What Country has ALL of ther top players playing? Seems just about all of the good Countries have some players not playing.

    I think Kemba Walker might be the only player to make Team USA if all of the Best wanted to play.  And, he may not  make team with all of the good guards(Curry, Kyrie Irivng,Damian Lillard, James Harden, Westbrook).

    Another question for you BrianofBGA: Are they showing the games on Australian TV?(Ther not showing the games on TV in the USA).

    I agree. 

    Poland was a surprise too , i think. They were 4-0 until they lost to Argentina today.

    Yes they are showing the games. On Foxtel here (Pay TV) they have a whole channel dedicated to it. Live games and full replays. Even have Aussie commentators there broadcasting it which u don’t often get!
