Must win and also against Russia so we can get 2nd or 3 rd in pool - usa now awaits regardless if we fin 2- 4th . What we can hope for is Russia beating France and us beating russia well - then we may win the 3 way split and jag 1st

Acually, if we finish 3rd in our group and win our quarter final, we would cross back to #1from our group and therefore avoid the US until the GF.

Channel 9 are showing tennis, so here's a live stream for the game.

Let's hope that Ch 9 don't favour the kayaks over the basketball.
Kayaks are interesting, but watching one after the other becomes a little boring.
Apologies to the kayak fraternity, but I am sure that basketball has a higher participation and recognition rate in Australia

Cambage looking more focused so far in the game. Good to see. Screen has been so ineffective in these games.

I've been watching the stream and Fight Club. Has Ch 9 showed any Opals yet? Any time I've checked it's been a Lithuanian cyclist or something else like that.

Channel9 just showed 30seconds...gotta say that shot on the buzzer was a cracker almost sad it wasnt counted!!

Ch9 showed the last minute of each quarter
Harrower looked a little lost in that 2 mins doing a
Brad Hill impersonation.
Screen a nice feed to Cambage . Aaron Bruce stuff.

So big So Strong. Too good.

I reckon Cambage would do well in the mens team..bigger body than the centres they have

Pals playing a conservative possession based game - but it is working - I feel some are holding back from the perimeter

Entire game on fox Olympic ch 3

That's the trouble with our game
timeouts give 9 the opportunity to go away to something else

Bizarre reffing pinto grabs sams arm and goes to the linr

Be grateful for bronze on current form albeit Brazil with backs to the wall

Held off the challenge. Think I heard them say that Jackson became the all-time leading scorer in women's Olympic basketball in that game? Lisa Leslie was one of the two commentators on the internet stream - did a decent job and was quite complimentary of Jackson and Batkovic.

Who won..Channel 9 decided to goto the road race, which featured no Australians, then talk about some crap..now its the "Archery". I cant even watch archery using those bloody bows..give them something thats not intricately balanced and make them shoot properly

Opals by about 10 - yes lj is the highest scorer in Olympic womens history 18 ppg - deserves a thread here by itself . We need to switch on very flat tonight

canada so close in nearly beating france...... only 4 pts - opals will have no easy games.

GB also pushed us

Opals ground out a 67-61 win.

Good effort, a win is a win, just got to keep picking them up. Two tough games to go, it's a great tournament in the women's.

I'd agree with Cambage being benched in place of the more reliable Batkovic... then giving her court time based on which version of herself turns up on the night :)

Talking about how big she is, she was in front of me in a line at the Physio once... I thought she was an AFL player till I realised who she was... I'm used to girls being slightly taller than me, but they don't usually have the build as well.

Harrower disappointing, Richards better (and would Erin have helped??) Cambage fragile and unreliable, Batkovic and O'Hea great, Bishop solid too. Our second tier bigs seems to be getting the job done. Reffing seems to allow a lot of hand fouls :(

Can someone please tell me why Graf made atleast a dozen subs in the 8 mins of the game. How are4 the girls meant to find any flow. IN my opinion Graf is killing us with her panic style and over substituting

It's fairly common to put on defensive specialists when we're on 'd', and put on offensive specialists when we get the ball.

Have not seen Erin play for awhile but surely better than Screen and others .

Screen certainly seems to be getting more minutes than her production warrants, even with her workrate defensively. Jarry was a wasted pick as she is similar to Screen, Snell and O'Hea. Agree that Madgen or Phillips would have given something a little different even if not stars.

erin would have delivered
