NBA Twitter Destroyed Team USA For Disabling Comments After Loss To Australia
The basketball world was turned on its head on Saturday night as the Australian National Team defeated Team USA in historic fashion on home soil. The “Boomers” had never beaten the United States at senior men’s basketball level in their history, but that all changed as San Antonio Spurs’ guard Patty Mills led the way for the green and gold with 30 points in the win.
The victory in front of 52,000 inside Marvel stadium in Melbourne, Australia saw the end of a 78-game unbeaten streak held by Team USA. It’s safe to say they aren’t used to losing very often at international level, and it showed, as USA basketball disabled comments to their Instagram photo of the loss.
This obviously led to fans destroying the Team on Twitter.
@usabasketball disabled comments on their post of them losing on IG. That’s pretty soft if ya ask me. Let your fans voice their opinions and thoughts as you let them do on any other post.
