The ABC are broadcasting both these games btw.

Live?

The ABC are broadcasting both these games btw.

IIRC The first game is only highlights shown at 11:30 (Unless you re-watch on iView after the fact) but the second game is fully live. (At least that's the way I read it)

Which is really stupid. They should be showing all four games live. (Mens and Womens)

Nice write up today - http://www.heraldsun.com.au/news/vi...nager-dante-exum/story-fni0fit3-1226690760452
(should work without needing to log in for now!)

That could be right.

I saw it mentioned during the ABC coverage on the VFL yesterday and they didn't say much else other then that they were covering the games.

Australia New Zealand womens on at the moment. Nice to see LJ playing. Boomers Tall Blacks to follow at 5:30. Hopefully my first row stream holds up.

You can sign up on the livebasketball.tv site with a month pass for $14 to watch tonight's game live. Seems a little steep.

Any chance you can PM me a link to the stream?

Ben Simmons is in the squad as well as Exum? Sweet.

 

[Dez!]

Exum sighting.

 

[djrossie16]

NZ is outplaying Australia. Wow we need to get some better big men!

 

[djrossie16]

Smashed them in the 4th quarter. We get the win but need to get off to a better start next time. Very exciting seeing Simmons do some nice things. Didn't get to see Exum much since my video stopped working. Exciting future ahead with those two.

Bogut, Baynes and Jawai will hopefully be available/not injured for the World Champs...

 

[nufan]

I highly doubt Jawai gets a gig

 

[peternorth]

jawai - is he still playing?

 

[nufan]

In Turkey. Shades of Michael Sweetney creeping in though

 

[sojthebest]

Jawai had 7 PPG (70% FG) and 5 RPG from 15 minutes a game this season in the Euroleague for Barca. I'd love to see him on the Boomers.

Ideally something like Bogut Baynes Anderson as the first three picked. Can raffle off the next big or two picked although you'd probably want someone who can board and do the dirty work like what Wortho did at the Olympics.

Maric?

 

[djrossie16]

Maric?

Probably out of necessity he'd be considered because doubtful Bogut would play the world champs. Maric hasn't been great for the Boomers though. You get the feeling he's a fair way back in the pecking order.

Hopefully we keep bringing the kids through. I hope at the world champs we get games into Exum and Simmons. I hope we don't fall into the trap of taking this tournament too seriously by playing oldies and instead use it as a launching pad for Brazil.

Loved the look of disdain Simmons gave Abercrombie after blocking the shit out of him.

 

[LouisvilleLip]

Ben's brother David had a pretty decent steal and dunk there!

That'd be the old man...can still get up pretty well!

 

[LouisvilleLip]

That's be the old man...can still get up pretty well!

There you go. Commentator getting the name confused then! Should be learning Bens name pretty quickly I'd think!
