YouYi Games: Game 3 Thread

Do we know if AJ will show and compete for a spot? we are assuming Jawai will but not popular with Brown? Both maybe turning out against Greek c team that's showing to get smashed by a boomers side that should be stronger than current group. Doubt brown can afford or would want to put another younger fringe group on the floor to help selection process....

Maric I think is a better inside finisher than Baynes, and so too is Jawai.

Interestingly, the best finisher for mine who is available is AJ Ogilvy, however he lacks rebounding and is not as strong defensively.

Yeah Martin showed zip all series. Delly was running the show and Gibson had a pass to jack it, scored well. They both looked comfortable and played like they were locks.

Baynes got in early foul trouble last night trying to stay with Wang Zhi Zhi, Wang turned him inside out a couple if times with a few nice moves... So limited action for him early, then we got well ahead game over feet up

Kickert just sets high screens on offense then looks to pop to out to perimeter and jack it. He isn't a banging big, hard to see him going further even after hitting 20 pts under brown. It wasn't an x factor/ bolter performance... Not sure who that could be if anyone from this series. I'd hoped to see mire of Broekhoff even though I never thought it would be him to get last spot

Agree with anon about the locks few comments back, but add Maric, he gets a invite no worry, him and baynes are your muscle who rebound. I bet Neilsen also gets the 11/12 spot on bench also, team guy with experience and part of the furniture by now, even though I think he's obviously past it

Links rarely work, hate them, every now and then pay tv comes in useful

Nice shooting from Kickert! Would have been nice to actually SEE his game but perhaps this is the kind of performance Brown has been waiting for?

Good to see Khazzouh also get his offensive game going. I'd like to see him get some more opps v stronger opposition before the Olympics because I think he is a natural scorer and that is something we don't have a lot of!

Nice to see 8 assists next to Dell's name as well. Its not often you see a Boomer with that many assists in an intl game.

All in all, good to see our team finally blow out the Chinese the way they should have done from game 1.

Khazzouh with a big quarter as well. Now leading the Boomers in scoring with 12 pts. 4/5 FG and 4/4 FT.

Looking good, Boomers have broken the game open this quarter. Now lead 55-39 with under 3 mins left in the 3rd.

Dell has finally hit a couple of threes and some FTs too. Also up to 7 assists now.

Good to hear that Dell is playing with some speed and has still picked up the 5 assists and 2 steals. I've thought since his performances last year he should be the starting PG. The only thing of real concern is his shooting, but if he is running the offence effectively and playing solid D then we can live with average shooting. We just need guys like Newley, Ingles, Crawford and Andersen to step up their shooting instead.

LOL, nice one coach. Chalk one up to the ANZUS treaty!

Nice turnaround Boomers! Dell has 5 ast and 2 stl thus far, but still struggling with his shot at 0/4.

Kickert finally making shots 4/4 from the field, including a three.

Did Gibbo get fouled shooting a three or something? Has shot 5/6 FTs!

Sircreate - you CANNOT be serious! Can you?

iinet Freezone is not working for me today unlike for game 1 - sucks bad...

Boomers shooting an impressive 60% from the field. Well, so long as you don't add the 0 fer 5 3 pt shooting to the equation!

FIBA livestats is what I'm using for the stats

I can get the iiNet Freezone link up now but it seems to be hinting that I need to be an iiNet customer to access Freezone. Didn't seem to be a problem last time. I don't suppose anyone here is an iiNet customer? If so, can you get it working?

Boomers down 13-20 thus far according to livestats.
Baynes with 6 early points. Turnovers galore with 9 between the two teams already!

Fark me its frustrating being a basketball fan in this country! GIVE ME A LINK THAT WORKS YA BASTARDS!

Anyone else having trouble accessing the iinet stream? I can't get it to load the link :-(

Living End playing at HQ next Tuesday. Wasn't aware til today ! If you know of anyone with a spare ticket (or two!), respond on here and I'll arrange pick ups etc .. cheers !!
