Boomers fold

and where were the rest of the team? Hence never closer than 4th, even with our 'best team ever' in 2000.

Charmaine,

A one-eyed Adelaide supporter? I didn't know Adelaide were contesting the Olympics (though some might say Sydney are).

To compete at Olympic level against the best teams in the world don't you think that ALL players should be given time on court, rather than sitting on the bench twiddling their thumbs.

ALL players are arguably 'the best' Australia has, not some bench fillers or development players to padd out the squad.
To have a legit shot at a medal then you're going to need depth.

More importantly, your going to need a TEAM effort, not one player trying to do it all.
In my opinion, that is why Aust has never succeeded at international level because of your 'Heals/Gazes' topscoring for the tournament.

TEAM effort.

'go-away-boy-goorj' couldn't agree with you more about the starting 5.

Why is Smith in the squad to start with? And agree with 'anonymous' that is too much a Sydney show. Like how McKinnon during the NBL season labelled that the Kings are more like 'Team Athens'.

The guys were getting pounded inside yet Goorj STILL goes with a small lineup.
For god's-sake throw Rogers and his bulk in there.
Not only could have muscled Papadopalous but offensively collapsed key for Maher/Heal.

What's going on in Goorjian's head?

And is it just me being too cynical but I swear there were at least three occasions in third quarter where Maher wide open (after superb baseline cut) was not passed ball from Heal.

have a pov sallary (cellery) cap and this is what will happen - we will not and should not really expect to match the big boys.

That's what basketball aust / nbl wants - that's what they will get....

Mind you, Puerto Rico over USA ! - that just abouts kills my argument...

Why would you say least of all Asia. Many countries in Asia have far less covid cases now than the USA and Europe and also have better controls in place.
