boomers too small

We are still in contention for 3rd place in the group which I think I'd be correct in suggesting many of us expected at the start of the Champs (vs being in 2nd place which we were more hopeful).

Hopefully we will finish in 3rd spot because we have a real chance at knocking off Slovenia.

We are ranked 12th in the world so progressing to the final 8 will be a great result (if we get there). I've come to appreciate just how good our team was in the late 80's and 90's since the last Olympics.

Also, I picked up from an article on tonight's game against Angola on the BA website that a few of the boys are carrying stomach complaints...

"A number of the Australians are suffering from stomach problems, but they had no interest in using that as an excuse as the opportunity to give themselves the best possible second-round seeding slipped away."

I agree, I don't think as a team we are too small, although we would all rather Patty was 6'6" rather than a smidgeon under 6".

I think DJ Rod may be onto something though, I'm not sure whether we have had our best performing players on at any given time in this tourney.

A few times I have noticed that just when someone appears to be heating up with scoring, made a few consecutive hustle or defensive plays, then they get rewarded by being subbed off!

One thing Brett Brown should do more of is not worrying so much about giving everyone some court time, but rather playing the players that are performing and if they are doing a good job, letting them see more minutes out there injstead of rotating for the sake of rotating players.

Mills
Ingles/Barlow/Newley (depending on who is hitting shots)
Wortho
Andersen
Maric

Would have definately been a better line up in the second half last night.

That and putting a hand in a shooter's face.
