World Cup Day 11 discussion
Damn
Bogut needs to stay out of foul trouble and gobble up some minutes
Baynes need some rest


Usa crumbled so badly
And what was Pop thinking!! Gobert absolutely dominated that game. Try putting someone on him whos taller than 6'7.....


Sack Popovich!!



Feel the same. These are guys prepared to put it on the line for their country while the stars sit at home. Then they are ridiculed if they lose.


Need someone to matchup vs Gobert

Good game

They would be winning*

If France grabbed some defensive rebounds and they also be winning lol

USA living and dying by the 3. When shooting 26%, they were down 9. Then hit a few, up to 40%, and leading.



Mitchell vs Fournier now





The USA form has picked up since near defeat vs turkey. Interesting video details the defensive frailities of the us exposed in turkey game https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=nl3UX0YKR-8

USA shoot the most 3s out of all teams, but they are shooting it just 33%. This makes USA capable of blowing out leads if they start connecting at a good clip, but also makes them vulnerable with a poor shooting night. Hopefully France have a good game plan for their next game.


If France and us win today would set up an awesome final rounds.
USA have definitely not clicked offensively. With Rudy Gobert there as well, could definitely happen.
Fournier needs to keep balling out. And DeColo should start.

France no chance in hell. Can't even beat a team that is half full of NBL trash and has an imcompetent coach.


Massive upset.
Hoping this wakes Australia up we can't coast on our reputation vs Czech Rep
Luis Scola still got it

Really impressed with Argentina. Great passing and transition work. Some "very solid plays". Good for the tournament that they progressed IMO. I dont mind seeing serbia go down. Aside from Bogdanovich, who has been outstanding, serbia play a ugly game centred around the strength of their bigs. Their game reminded me of the old USSR teams of the 70s and 80s.

I'm going to be so upset if USA win this tournament.
It's the best opportunity ever for another team to win it - I don't think you'll ever see a USA team as weak as this in future (in saying that though they are obviously still very good). Can't see them reverting back to college players anytime soon.
France could pull it off tonight. Fingers crossed.


Predictions on tougher/easier oponenets at this stage of events is risky, to say the least.
Look no further than our own results, Against Canada we were the underdogs, Senegal were better than expected, then finish our pool with a win over powerhouse, Lithuania. Dom Rep went to script then we account for the world no3 team, France.
And just now, watched Arg beat Serbia.
If Poland does beat Spain, then I'm very worried. At least, we know what to expect with Spain!


Argentina 6-0
It was tough to rate Argentina since their path included wins over relatively weaker opponents: Nigeria, Korea, Russia, Venezuela, Poland. But Serbia is a huge scalp.



Argentina look like they will win this. Now up 11 with 3 minutes remains. Argentina looks more aggressive, Serbia seem shocked. It also helps when you are converting 3s at nearly 50% while the opposition is at 30%.


Spain will sadly be too tough although I'd love to be wrong. Let's hope for a Poland miracle tonight for an even easier path after Czechia. Dreaming I know.

Argentina up 4 against Serbia with under 7 minutes left in the 4th. Everyone is dangerous.




Good half by Argentina, shooting the three ball very impressive. Joker playing well. Didn’t realise how good a lot of these teams are.

Hey all,
Can anyone give me the link for the full fixture for the St Clair Carnival being held the 14th, 15th and 16th of December?
Would like to watch some quality games around my own team's fixture but I only have my own age group's fixture.
Cheers
