Boomers tips for today
20-8 now... Wortho and Mills hitting a 3 each!
Way to get out of the blocks guys!

Just noticed someone called 'Skip' asking for Aus v Lit on Stooge TV... is that our Skip? Hopefully get a response from Stooge soon.

Great start from Boomers - Bogut has 9, Newley 5. Leading 14-8 early.

That is for the box score. I don't have a live feed yet. Anyone found one?

Oh yeah, my tip... lets see... feeling optimistic...
Boomers by 4 in a boilover
Lithuania to stay about 5-10 points up most of the game...
Then the Boomers to storm home in the final quarter against a Lithuanian team already looking towards their quarter final matchup.
Bogut to posterise a random Lithuanian in the fourth quarter to kick off the Aussie fightback.

I hope not Quagmire. The more our best players can learn together against the best teams, the better we will be for the next tournament IMO. It would also be a very worthwhile achievement if we could go home having beaten Lithuania for the first time, especially when they just topped their group!

I think you go with your best and with every intention of winning the game. You don't want to mess around with your form - stick with what is working.
If and when the game appear lost, then go to the bench. It took us 2 games to get going, I wouldn't want to lose that now. We have a great chance at finishing 5th, as I can't see us beating USA even though my heart says we can. My head says otherwise...

With the positions of both teams all but locked in- will we see the reserves play and the starters kept in cotton wool?
Nothing to gain, plenty to lose...

Final score to Lith. 86 to 76
Bogut to play long minutes until fouled out
Lots of Boy Gorg antics on the sidelines I would suggest
