Unfortunately we are no chance. I just hope we play to our strengths and have an "on" night.
Reading some of the dribble that passes for comments on that espn thread just makes me hate the states even more.
Bogey for 30pts.
Im expecting to see Kobe man up tight on Newley, since he has had a great tournament.

If the Aussies can load up the key on D and make the USA shoot from outside we may have a chance if they cannot consistently hit them. We have to treat the ball like it is gold and don;t turn it over. this will ensure the USA cannot use their superior athleticism on the break.

I so hope the Boomers win!

However my head says if we can finish within 20 then we should be happy. But my heart says that we are trailing by 2 with just seconds left on the clock, and Patty blows past CPS and half the US team to nail a layup on the buzzer and draw the foul to win it from the line...I just woke up.

If ever there was a chance for the Boomers to beat USA at an Olympics, it is right now. I'll have my fingers toes, legs and whatever else crossed!

Sorry, think I was channeling Playa there for a sec. More seriously, I think Sheridan has it about right. He still expects the US will win, but he has good reason to compare this matchup to the one they lost to the Greeks a couple of years back. We have nothing to lose, we have a good, balanced team and our national team has never played better basketball than it has in the last couple of games. I give us a small chance if we can stay close and keep the pressure on the US to close it out.

Hehe, we're gonna shake and bake them with the Colonel's secret recipe, then deep fry them and feast upon their bones!
