Wow, nice to see most people have written them off already.
Guess there's no point watching any of the matches then if we're no threat?

Any noticable names in the Italian side?
I presume Bargnani? Belinelli? Gallinari would all be in it

Everyone who thinks that Australia can win a medal is forgetting just how good the the European teams are.(Spain, Russia AND LET'S NOT FORGET FRANCE!-Parker, Turiaf etc. plus you got Greece and Italy)
Then you have the South American teams, Argentina and Brazil, who are exceptionally good.
And last but not least you got the U.S.A
IMO, I think the final placings will be as follows:
1)USA(This is their time, they won't choke again)
2)Spain
3)Argentina
4)Greece
5)France
6)Russia
7)Australia
8)Italy
There's top 8. I honestly cannont see the boomers getting top 4, but hey anything's possible e.g New Zealand tall blacks 2004 world champs.

Spain and Greece are huge threats, love to see the Boomers win a medal though and we have a good chance. Gold would be a miracle - but then again miracles can and do happen!
