To think that Spain lost to Russia and Brazil in the group phase only to come within 7 points of the USA in the final.

Clearly Spain were much better at disguising their tanking job to Brazil in the last group match than Australia was in 2014.

That said, if the Boomers had beaten Brazil, either Spain doesn't tank and Brazil finish 4th or Spain finishes 4th with the early exit against the US and miss out on the medals. Or Russia doesn't take us so lightly and we finish 4th anyway.

That final between the US and Spain was epic.

Watching that back, it wasn't really Kobe that tore our heart out but the slow start against Brazil!

To think, we win that game and we would have avoided the early cross-over against the US - then anything could have happened.

Great vid.

How does Brett Brown think he's going to beat these massive Euro line ups playing 2 6 ft point guards? Guys like Barlow & Wortho are playing junk minutes when they are needed a lot more. More size also helps us to be longer in defence in a full court press situation - & they can all hit the 3 ball! Gibbo is a solid NBL player & untried internationally yet continues to get big mins. The 2nd half of the Serbia game he should have tried something like Mills - 1, Barlow -2, Wortho -3 & Neilson & Ando. Match size with size & put 5 good scoring defenders against their firepower. Teams with solid centers are killing us 7 exposing our 'Bogutless' middle but we must compensate better!
