Channel 7 showing yet again how out of touch they are with the rest of Australia. They obviously don't get how popular bball is here. They actually think most people prefer to watch swimming.

Sort of disagree here.

With what 7 were showing, which were just the heats, then yeah, prioritsing that over boomers was dumb. But swimming medals are pretty integral to Australian olympic culture.

Like you said it's just the heats. Either way, at this hour the majority of the viewing public are blokes in their 20's and 30's. Pretty confident that the majority of this demographic would take bball over swimming any day.
 
France made a late comeback before half time with Parker leading the rally. 3 point game after we were up by 15 at one stage. Disappointing, we should be up by a lot more.
 
15 point lead, damn we are looking good. Lisch adding a lot offensively. Delly controlling the game.

17 points now and a Delly steal.
 
Dat alley!

Delly and Bogut with a telepathic connection

Bogut, Delly and Mills carving them up, awesome to see. This is definitely the best team we've ever had together. I'm on them to pinch a medal @ $21, reckon we are a sneaky shot at silver or bronze here.

Add Exum, Simmons and maybe Maker in 2020 :eek:
 
Damo for three!
 
I'm ****ing hyped! What an exhibition that was. If that level of play continues we're capable of beating anyone (apart from the U.S of course)

We're definitely going to miss Bogut at the Warriors, his passing and playmaking for a center is next level. Simply has to stay fit through the tournament. I love how they're always looking for Mills on offense, he's our stud and has to keep taking the most shots. Baynes was surprisingly good and Delly is Delly, the bloke will always give 100% on both ends of the floor. Solid contributions from everyone else. Seriously the best team we've ever had together, I'm ****ing pumped for the rest of the tournament.

We're definitely going to miss Bogut at GS, his passing and playmaking for a center is next level. Simply has to stay fit through the tournament. I love how they'rey always looking for Mills on offense, he's our stud and has to keep taking the most shots. Baynes was suprisingly good and Delly is Delly, the bloke will always give 100% on both ends of the floor.

Let's not get too carried away. France were ****ing insipid defensively (and offensively). Bogut driving to the bucket unopposed from the three point line?

Really think this team is ideally suited to International Ball. Unselfish, slick offensive sets and uncompromising team defence. Go probably 9 deep on the rotation and its just incredible to see what a team full of role players can achieve at this level. They look hungry and like they have a monkey on their back after years of under achievement at the international level. Very exciting.
 
Alright mr killjoy. I don't care how shit they were, we just smacked the team who was the #2 favorite behind the US. Live a little you sour campaigner!

They seriously Number 2 ranked?

Mother of God

Looks like we got the easy side of the draw outside of Venezula. I mean the US.
