World Champs: Boomers vs Angola 2-Sep

Just watching the replay now. Does anyone else think the way Baynes stands there, chin up staring at the flag makes him looks like some mythical national hero out of a WW1 army recruiting pamphlet?

The commentator is from Eurosport UK and he is the worst basketball commentator I have ever heard. His Eurocup commentary during the year is even more painful.

Boomers ended up winning 76-55.

Mills led a well rounded scoring spread by the Boomers with 11, with 9 players scoring 6 or more.

We were 9/29 from 3 point land. We had 18 turnovers. Nielsen and Worthington shot the rock very poorly in this game.

No Angolan scored in double figures.

A win is win, but gee wiz, I just wish we could bring some consistency to the table.

Evey Boomer saw 10 minutes or more with the exception of Baynes who played just 5 minutes, and David Andersen who did not play at all due to the stomach virus that has gone through most of the team.

I know that we are young and are an up and coming team with an international rookie coach, but we just make hard work of the games we should win - it is like we play to the opposition's level but not at our own?

Next up is Slovenia after avoidng the USA. I honestly think we can win this game and would argue both Argentina and Serbia are at a level above them. But considering our inconsistency, who really knows which way it will go.

Was Brett Brown and AFL coach in a former life. He loves making substitutions.

Conserving energy?

Huge Block by Marto, Barlow super impressed

Sure, but after those two players the Jordan big man stocks drop right off.

We could have thrown Ingles, Barlow, Worthington, Andersen and Maric (all taller than 6'8)at them all at once and Australia could have taken advantage of the mis-match on every offense (not that we did).

My point being we could utilise this advantage over Angola but it might not guarantee a victory.

We struggled against Jordan who, while not big, were athletic, aggresive and unshackled.

ohh crap that's how Angola play!!!!!I'm still tainted by the 86 world championships.

Please Brownie, let the boys play like there is no tomorrow because it might be all over by Monday or Tuesday morning.

Go Boomers, finish 3rd and go kick Slovenia's arse!!!!!

In any case, a tie goes on head to head results, but that will not affect either team in this case.

Thoughts? I think he'd suit that team to a tee.
any takers?
