Slovenia thrashed Iran by 30+ last night.

Predicted margin for tonight?

Whilst I would love the Boomers to win, Slovenia played like amore cohesive unit that what we did last night. Therefore at this stage of our WC preparations, I predict a Slovenian win by 14.

Is Smodis still injured or playing ?

any free/foxtel TV broadcasting ?

Thanks

Martin starting at the 2 spot. Picks up 2 quick fouls.

any updates on the score please..............

Halftime. Boomers up 38-34.

Offense looks heaps better than last night.

Australia up 40-34 at half time. Really good second quarter and started to see that sharpness you need at international level.

Nielsen has been the glue, Gibson has been excellent, hitting threes and playing great D. Newley seems to be getting more confortable in the offence and is picking his moments to attack the rim very well. Worthington has been handling the 4-spot pretty well but needs to stop picking up cheap fouls.

Andersen, Mills and Markovic have struggled so far, though Patty has still made a couple of pretty nice plays. We have looked best with Gibson and Ingles carrying the ball, surprisingly enough, although Joe has at times tried to do too much again.

Mills needs to get the ball into the offence and try to score when he gets it back.

thanks 4 that rjd, keep up the comments, thanks

Boomers 52-43. Higher tempo game is paying off.

Gibson 3 on the 3qtr time buzzer. Boomers up 10.

Boomers looked good with Mills effectively running as a two guard. Gibson good again and hit a big buzzer beater. Slovenia are picking up their game though, starting to get better ball movement and troubling Boomers a bit with their zone. Expect this to get close.

68-54

The Aussie defence is very good, great help and recover with everyone on the same page. Gibson and Ingles are controlling the tempo pretty well so far in the fourth - some great signs tonight and let's hope they can finish off.

dragic hit 2 from the line to make it 70 to 56

does anyone know where i can find the box score?

77-63 final score. Gibson shuts it down with a three, and the last basket again was Mills to Andersen.

Impressive performance against a team that will definitely be top 16, and possibly sneak into the top 8.

Very very good money there $4.85.

It's unbelievable - that we could get this rich
this quick.

Hope someone got their bet on! Next time I might have to ignore you LC...

whats the odds on the Iran game?

How about you read the first post in the thread

I think we play Iran today or tonight.
I imagine we'd be pretty short priced.

Hahaha! I'm glad I was proven wrong Isaac, but you should know you should always go with you own gut instinct and avoid listening to others!

I didn't get a chance to watch the game last night, but reading through the recap and this thread, it appears we were much more in sync as a team and the result is just result.

We play Iran tonight, and if we win we will definitely finish 1st and be in the gold medal game. We will play the winner of China vs Slovenia who play tonight in the final.

Go Boomers!

Massive thanks for the link Avv.

How good is the Baynes dunk on Brezec with 8:20 to go. Some really good signs from the whole team in this game. We can really run pretty much 10 deep without losing a great deal. Would have been awesome to see the other couple of bigs that we have missing from this tourny and the WC. Ran the break better than I can remember for some time. Good watch. Cheers.
