World Champs: NZ Vs France
Lindsay Tait has been playing awesome. He absorbed all of the French pressure bringing the ball up and was very patient on offense and managed to hit a couple of 3's to give NZ a valuable contribution.
I agree on Bills comments regarding PC, huge game for the big guy, superb passing and hit shots at crucial times (little hook in the paint in the last few minutes)as did Mika Vukona.

Thats the best game Pero has played for the Tall Blacks in years. The winning margin was important to avoid Turkey but it has to be said a little lucky, Penney 4 point play, and a BANKER from the corner by Abercrombie to seal it.
Nice defensive team France (did a good job on Penney) but couldn't really get anything going offensively on a regular basis.
Vukona again very solid and between him, Casey Frank, Pero and Phil Jones they managed to hit big shots when needed.
Our guards looked shaky throughout but just managed to get by without too much damage.

hey if anyone dares to get into this debate go ahead,but what are your thoughts about the private school policay that school basketball comes before club? ive heard of a few players being suspended from school because of it!love to hear your thoughts

Great win by NZ! glad to see them do well and finish in 3rd spot in a tough group.
Both Australia and New Zealand as Oceania representatives have a chance to now finish in the top 8 should they win against Slovenia and Russia respectively.
The NBL must be doing something right as the majority of players on each team have come from there!
