Boomers V France

France are missing Parker, but also Noah from their best possible 12.

We are missing Mills ands Bogut.

France aren't much chop. Hate to say it.

They were losing to Phillipines at HT the other day.

Their team has always underperformed (even at U19 levels) yet they have so many good players coming through. Its strange.

They won Eurobasket a few years ago I think? But other than that, they haven't done much. Lost to NZ at last world champs, when in reality our juniors would never have a hope in hell of beating them.

Australia are getting there.

I think the hardest thing is, as mentioned previously, there are a number of different types of players on the team and trying to play their style within Lemanis' style within the style that suits their teammates can be tricky.

A team like NZ don't have any bigs, so they can automatically play fast.

But Australia have a few different players - some who play fast and others who play slow.

NZ..we are just slow in general. I mean our PF and C (Loe and Vukona) are probably faster than our PG

Boomers with a great win over France in France!

Game recap now up on PnR thanks to Craig Rayner who got up early to catch all the action:

Boomers edge past France to go 3-0 in Nice

The Boomers have enjoyed their most impressive victory so far as they prepare for the 2014 FIBA World Cup, overcoming France 76-74 to sweep their 3-match tournament in Nice. The Boomers were once again led by Aron Baynes on both ends of the court, falling just short of his third double-double in a row by compiling 21 points and 9 rebounds.

Except apparently the Little League World Series, which isn't even supposed to be on before the Boomers game, is more important.

When the NewNBL starts next season, do fans want to see games played on Thursday - Sunday or back to the old Friday - Sunday schedule?
