Fantastic win lads. I've not had time to watch the game yet (catching up on the Argentina game tonight) but what a great response to their tough loss the night before.



Correct me if I'm wrong guys, but doesn't point differential only go on the games between the teams that finish equal on points - e.g. Argentina, Australia & Serbia games against one another? If that's the case, then those landslide wins over those other teams will not even matter...

Serbia has a pretty ridiculous points differential after massive wins over Angola and Jordan (they are +92 to Aus +34).
Unless we beat Angola by more than 40 and Serbia by more than 10, and Serbia beats Argentina, I don't think first place is realistically possible.
Second is definitely up for grabs, but only if Serbia loses both of their games, or if Australia beats Serbia and Serbia knocks off Argentina, and Argentina are relegated to third on points differential.

Australia thrashed Germany 78-43 this morning in a crucial Group A clash as both teams had 1 win and 1 loss going into the game.
Patty Mills led the way with a game-high 16 points and 7 assists, Aleks Maric had 15, Joe Ingles 10 and David Andersen had 8 & 8.
David Barlow finally saw some minutes and did not disappoint, scoring 8 points including 2/2 from downtown. Mills was 4/5 from 3 point range and Ingles 2/3.
But it was the Boomers disruptive defense that destroyed the Germans.

If we can beat Serbia in our next game, 2nd spot is up for grabs! Go Boomers!



is there any english streams?

The Boomers need to take a leaf out of the Tall Blacks book.
With only really Penney as a proven International scorer, we can score 84 points against a talented Spanish team.
How? Because our offenses incorporate ball movement; off and on ball screening, hard cuts, ball reversal, kick and penetrate.
Look at Abercrombie scoring 19 against Spain (and you could go back to Vukona scoring 19 against Lithuania), They aren't the most notable scorers at this level, but they get scoring opportunities because of the ball movement and flowing offense that Vucinic runs.

WHAT'S HOT:
The crowd support during the Semi-Final between NSW Metro vs Country
WA Metro making the final and almost pulling off the win
The Forestville Basketball Club volunteers who drove the buses to pick up and drop off referees
Victoria not contesting a Gold Medal or Bronze Medal game
The Giant Killers: Tasmania boys and WA Metro boys
WHAT'S NOT:
No Forestville BBQ
Sirens not loud enough
Scoreboard on Court 2 reading 0.1 at the end of the period

Result depends on what Aussie team shows up on the night.
Argentina team? - We win 10 ish
JOrdan team? - we loose 10 ish
Somewhere in the middle? Close Game
Just can't help but think that the culture of Aus teams need to change.
We no longer need to live and die on the 3pt as we did (successfully I might add) in the Gaze/Heal era.
Feed the big guys, spread the floor, allow space for the slashing guards we have.
Seems easy on paper I guess
