Australia vs Russia

Time to talk Boomers. Predictions? I think the Boomers CAN win but they'll have to be on their "A" game. Bogut needs to step big time. JR Holden and Kirilenko must be contained. The Boomers need to be hitting their shots from range but mustn't rely on the 3 point shot. Thoughts?

Also post steam link when they're up cause god knows channel 7 aren't going to show much of it.

just check sbs at night from time to time, the other night they played the last 3 or maybe 2 quarters in full of the aus game. I jsut stumbled on it by fluke but hopefully they are setting a trend and are getting some games in delay.

In a sad way i am looking forward to seeing what happens when Mills drives the lane with AK loming over him.

AK has been smashing anything week in thelane the last few games and i think Mills will need to kick it up a notch to handle the D pressure.

This is more like it from the Boomers. Good interior defense, Andersen doing really well, etc. Just think that the plays are a bit loose still and their ball movement isn't exactly quick?

yeah looks like goorj is going with anderson and ak, bogut and the russian big.

Sav should be last man off the bench IMO! He has shown nothing at international level for a long time.

great first half indeed, need to continually dump it into the paint to bogut, anderson and neilson oh and anstey if he has the balls to post up (so sick of him shooting the 3).if we continue to do that we will win this one.

Nice half of team basketball by Aussies. Russia look rattled, look like us against Croatia. Hopefully we can win this and win against Lithuania and not match up with US in the quarters and we are still a chance this tournament for a medal.

Nice charge Newley took near the end. Wortho had one earlier which was called against him.. Still taking some weird shots at times.. have to get that out of our game. CJ took a stupid shot from way out.. at least set yourself up in good position. I sometimes think he does that to make a statement.. looks bad when it doesn't go in though.

I just hope the boys can continue this form after the break... They have let numerous games slip in the 2nd half.

I will give the lads credit. They have played well and maybe they are starting to get some confidence back and hitting some form...

If only we'd started with Iran and then had Russia next - would've taken more confidence into Croatia, Argentina, and Lithuana.

Really good result. I really liked the team balance out there today, could sub the starters out and there wasn't a drop in the play. The defense was very good, and apart from Kyryapa who caught fire the other Russian big names really struggled. Great play by Bogut and CJ. Jingles is loving it on the bench!
