You can see the video, Mills moves his position to get in Rodriguez's path. It's a clear foul.

I agree it's a foul but refs also could stay silent there and no one would be complaining. Also IDK do you people realize how hard is a job of a referee. To make a right call in split second while watching all court not just where the ball is.

Happy with my team, but feel bad for aussies, they played really great. The refs were really bad on both sides during the whole game, but they decided the game with that foul on Sergio, wich wasn't, especially in a deciding play.
I know the sensation of being screwed by the refs in 2012 and 2008 by USA...So please, to other spaniard, be objective and recognize that that isn't a foul.
Both deserved bronze, but only one could win it, and probably that one that have win should had not win it...

That was not a foul on Mills, if you are going to call that little tiny crap, then basketball is a joke. Those refs sucked.. the refs in these Olympics have sucked in general. Never seen so many T's in my life... they act like church league refs or some crap. Complete joke if ya ask me.

US should go with DJ again starting. He is a beast on defense. US don't need offense from the center position. All they need are defense and rebounds so Cousins is near useless out there

As long as Usa dont Steal more Kyries.

SPain is out of the picture for quite a while, this was Calderons, Navarros, Reyes,s and Paus Last International Game.

Theres not enough quality to mantain medal level.

Spain still has Marc Gasol, Serge Ibaka, Ricky Rubio, Nikola Mirotic, Rudy Fernandez, ect. They may not win a medal next Olympics, but they'll be in the picture.

Not sure if it's just my natural pessimism, but I don't have a great feeling about this game.

Fantastic Sunday starting with this. Looking forward to the Gold medal game, Summerslam, and Fear the Walking Dead.

Edit: Hope this doesn't come off as if I was saying that the Cavs as NBA Champions are a joke.

Durant put his shoe back on very fast. Does he typically play with them loose on his feet?

I've seen him travel twice. They called one at the very beginning of the game and ignored the most recent one.

Yes refs have helped americans since group stage,.

OsuCavsfan103 · Post #58 » by **OsuCavsfan103** » Sun Aug 21, 2016 6:57 pm

USA will wake up and win by 15+

Or they will keep playing individual basketball and embarass themselves. We'll see

The officiating, from what I've seen, has been pretty bad across the board. The U.S. isn't the only one benefiting.

No I think it has been very good officiating - by the book - but Americans just get away with travels too much.
