Also didnt Heal have a huge game for the Boomers with about 10 3's??

Wow, I thought everyone hated Mills, things change quick here!

Isaac, Aussie highest is 48 by Eddie P vs Mexico in 1976.

Really wish Newley was back here in Adelaide, looked real good. Top 10 in blocks for the tournament.

Something contagious was rampant within the Boomers squad in that second half...3 point shooting!!! Let's hope the second half symptoms persist against Russia and then a likely team USA...

Off topic, it's pouring outside The Boomers made it rain here as well

If I'm not mistaken, C9 did not show a single minute...they prefer interviews and highlights over live action unless it is swimming, rowing, has something to do with horses or now athletics...

Damn Russia

It's a joke ch 9 are showing replays, interviews and updates anything to not show the ball. Am thinking about boycotting ch 9 after these Olympics or when I leave the hole that is my isa

70-29 second half by the Boomers, including 40 points in the last quarter, saw us crack the 100 point mark to win by 31.

We had 11 players score with only Barlow missing out on the party.

Delly and Mills sparked us in the 3rd as we cranked up our D.

We shot 57% from the field and 54% from downtown!

We now can only finish 4th and we will likely match up with USA in the crossover due to Russia's amazing win over Spain after trailing 22-2 in the first quarter!

LC

All our shots falling now...

As Gaze said - "When it rains it pours!"

LC

I can't believe we now led by 31!

We trailed by 15 less than 2 minutes into the 3rd quarter!!!

Grat defensive second half which has sparked our transition game which has destroyed GB. Paul you are right on the mark...

Maybe not Melo efficient but Patty put in some work

You have 2 coach's applying for the same position. The position is as Head Coach of an ABA Men's team.
One applicant has been coaching basketball at various levels for over 10 years including junior development, as well as serving as an Assistant Coach at ABA level.
The second applicant used to play at ABA level over 10 years ago and has since not been involved in any coaching, so does not have any coaching experience except for under 12 development.
Which coach should be the one given the job? My feeling is that you cannot step into a position such as this with no coaching experience what-so-ever.
What do people think?

Mills is unconscious!

We just don;t look like missing right now for the first time in ths tournament!

Mills sits dow with 39 points and 14/22 from the field and 5/7 from downtown.

Mills has 32 points on very good shooting!

30-14 run by Australia has the Boomers leading 66-60 at 3 quarter time!

GB hit a tough triple at the buzzer to arrest their slump.

It was Australia's best scoring quarter of the tournament to date but after 2 minutes we looked like going down as we trailed by 15!

LC

Now up 9, and we are on a 30-6 run!

I agree Casey they were make up free throws

LC

Up 64-57 now! We have turned it right around...GB led by 15 early in the 3rd!

LC

Delly and Mills have all 22 Australian points in the 3rd quarter so far!

Baynes picks up his 4th is not good for us...

LC

Our half court offense is horrible still

Years ago

The refs fuck up & take it out on us, never seen a decision like that

LC
Years ago

WTF? How can the refs take the FT's away from us???? Mills went to take FT's that Nielsen should have as the refs had no clue and then GB informed the refs and tghey took the shots away from us??? That's wrong!

Years ago

Need to keep that pressure up. We usually have a crap 3 qtr, need to turn that around to make som noise in these games, oh nice pass by Ingles & the Patty finish

LC
Years ago

Wow...our transition is killing GB right now and Patty is stepping up.

All tied up on a Mills 3-point play = 53-all.

LC
Years ago

Wow = back to a 3 point game!!! Delly and Mills filling it up from downtown! 14-2 run in the last 2 minutes...

Come on Boomers!

LC

Delly with two triples as we went on a 9-0 run...

LC

Horrible start to 3rd quarter...Giving up an offensive board and score, turnover, missed layup...we just look so disorganised, rushed and without direction right now

LC
Years ago

We trail 36 to 46 at half time...

Our defense has been letting us down in this game s far which has been disappointing.

current Arg v Spain 1/4 final with the winner to play USA. One side of the draw really loaded up.

Russia now got the easy quarter final game, looks like they are thru to semis, not bad for a team who had to go through qualifiers.
