Wiggins and Stauskas are out for this one so Australia are in with a chance

It's frustrating from a recording POV that the game starts at 5:30, but the block that it's in on the TV guide ends at 6pm and a new one from 6-10pm or something... Doesn't fill me with a lot of hope that the broadcast will just show the game in its entirety...

Looks like the Liz Cambage spectacular is at 9pm.

Cambage would be MVP in the mens tournament

Anywhere I can see this game on delay for free?

Do NOT take 24.5 if you want to bet on Canada - the line is 31.5 elsewhere. It was 31.5 until about 20 mins ago when there was a huge slash down to 26.5 and then again to 24.5. Not sure what this means but usually it's indicative of some late info and/or big money on Canada.

I don't care who these Canadian kids are. This Australian team isn't beating anyone by 32 points in 10 minute quarters.

Ah my bad. Yes - definitely a good middle opportunity. Unfortunately my balls aren't big enough.

Tipping off shortly on 7 and 7HD

The Canadians look alright so far especially #13

Boomers up 25-13 at the end of the 1st.

I'd have more interest if Australia's team was made up of college players too.

Yes, anything less than the gold would be seen as a failure but regardless Lemanis is contracted until the end of the 2020 Olympics so it's not like he'd lose his job over it if we underperformed here.

I like how the whole backboard, hoop and net system is the same in both Cairns and Townsville. NBL should take note

This is in Cairns right? Best the CCC floor has ever looked by a mile.

Martin's clearly been lying on the beach since the season finished he's never looked browner.

Boomers lead 47-29 at the half.

Game now on 7mate

Cadee an absolute waste of minutes. Barely contributed anything.

No fouls, no travel calls, no double dribble cals.

Been looking for box scores to no luck. Will probably get them post game.

Goulding is a joke.

Good 40 point win first up.

"I don't care who these Canadian kids are. This Australian team isn't beating anyone by 32 points in 10 minute quarters."

Good call, that...

Bad betting advice anon

Did canada send there best side? Hard to beleive the Boomers are a 40 points better side than Canada..
I suspect they sent there 3rds or half 2nds/half 3rds side..

Canada's best team would have the likes of Andrew Wiggins, Cory Joseph, Jamal Murray, Kelly Olynyk, Tristan Thompson, Nick Stauskas etch, but they're obviously busy.

Their 2nd best team may have made it interesting. It makes u wonder why they bothered putting a team in.

Think I'll keep referring to this tourney as CG 18.

Avg age of Canadian Guards and approximately CG’s shooting %.

Commonwealth games awesomeness

I do wonder if the kiwis could actually win tomorrow night. they've got most of the breakers team there, plus henare coaching with fearne assisting. the aussies are cobbled together from all over the place and won't be as well drilled as the kiwi core.

Most of the Aussie team has been playing together at the Asia Cup and the WC qualifiers.

The comm games is embarassing, when teams are sending much weakened squads..

Has Canada ever sent a full strength squad to anything? FIBA America's maybe? It always seems that their ranking is far lower than it should be given the quality of their top 10-15 guys.

Dwight Powell
Kelly Olynyk
Andrew Wiggins
Jamal Murray
Cory Joseph

Tristan Thompson
Trey Lyles
Nick Stauskas
Dillon Brooks
Tyler Ennis

That bench 5 would challenge the Boomers starters(our real team not this NBL team).

Canada is arguably the second strongest FIBA team on paper but they don't seem to have players commit.

Lol New Zealand is not going to beat Australia. If they get within 20 they should think themselves lucky.

The Comm Games site is very easy to navigate

XY, Canada sent a full strength team to the world championships in 1994 they hosted... Rick Fix played I believe..

Rick Fox I meant
