I'm sorry but that is just disgraceful from NZ. You can't play one quarter and expect to win.

Maybe a few of our TBs got a bit too carried away with the 'holiday' and forgot theyre here to do a job. Sheesh!

Oh...

Wow, just wow

You obviously never watched them. NZ couldn't beat a WNBL team.

What time is it on? 9am Brisbane time?

One of the worst losses the Tall Blacks have sustained on the world stage.

Sheesh. I didn't even bother to watch the NZ game because I just assumed it'd be a comfortable win, and I guess the Tall Blacks did much the same...

"You obviously never watched them. NZ couldn't beat a WNBL team."

Embarrassing for Australia then as NZ went very close to beating us a few days ago. You possibly don't understand the difference in standards between leagues.

What's more embarrassing is the referees. They are woeful.

Don't know how Te Rangi ends up playing the most minutes (had 7 points, 5 TO's and 4 PFs).

Also sad to see some NZ players posting on IG an hour after the loss of them enjoying the games village.

Refs are trash and are soft as marshmallows.

We're playing absolute trash, and this isn't close. How did NZ lose to these guys?

NZ didn't play for 40 minutes. Long time to ho, canada will make a run.

Canada didn't step out of court but called for doing so.

Angus travelled, not called. These refs are garbage.

Really good drive by Jason Cadee.

Jason Cadee is the worst free throw shooter of all guards.

University players, apparently.

Well, technical foul on Morgan even though didn't do anything. Lol.

Unsportsmanlike foul against Kickett for a soft push in the back lol

Goulding was from Perth as a development player.

Daniel Johnson, Jawai, Casey Prather, Alex Laughton, Stephen Weigh, Tom Jervis, has improved or developed when younger either through the Wildcats or WA associated leagues in which Wildcats do put alot of energy into.

Newley with the dunk. Nice steal.

Channel 7 can't show the entire basketball game on the single channel. Tech!!

Love the way Gaze is taking the piss out of Casey.

Loved it when Gaze said to Casey that a player for Canada plays like Casey, a bit slower and he is a bit slower lol

Um why are some saying Boomers bumped for the Netball? Excuse me but the Netball side has far higher status than the Boomers and has achieved more.. If a survey was done, more in OZ would care about the Australian Netball side the Diamonds than the Boomers or the Opals...

And also so much for the haters calling Canada a Big V side

Congratulations to Australia.

The crowd seems underwhelmed by the gold medal win. NZ really devalued the gold by succumbing in the semis.

Australia is choking in the netball. I rather watch the Boomers than watch the Diamonds choke.

what a relief having Gaze commentating and what a difference between him and Linguicide.

"This one is gonna go down to the wire. as in why are we still including basketball in the com games."

Yeah, exactly. I think the whole tournament was a waste of time for the Boomers. I appreciate that these guys want to compete for their country, and all the more power to them, but how can you celebrate smashing a bunch of really shit basketball teams? I actually think the Boomers under-performed a bit today and played down to their opposition but still won by 40. It might be good for the ego but it does nothing to prepare the team and program for the real competition we will face in a year's time. This particular Boomers team wouldn't have its way with the B and C teams of the European nations, and those are the countries we should be more interested in meeting up with.

What's your point, ME?

Yeah, exactly. I think the whole tournament was a waste of time for the Boomers. I appreciate that these guys want to compete for their country, and all the more power to them, but how can you celebrate smashing a bunch of really shit basketball teams?

ROFL
Same way anybody celebrates winning gold in the Comm Games.
Same way the USA team celebrates at the Olympics.
Same way we all celebrated the extra Golds in Moscow and LA.
Plus most of these guys wouldn't get a gig at the Olympics and Worlds, so this is a big deal for them.

Might as well say that they shouldn't celebrate an NBL championship barbecue its a shit league compared to the NBA.

I'm surprised India were so shit, I thought they were supposed to be an emerging force?

Wow, did Australia really choked in the netball? I went to Red Rooster, got back and England getting gold medals.

Australia didn't turn up mentally early on, warning signs were there yet thdy did nothing to adjust.

Netball was a hell of a lot more exciting than the basketball.

Agree with ME that this tournament is a social outing for the Boomers. Australia gained nothing it was like A grade men playing D grade on Monday night.
In reality Canada sent a 3rd stream to play a 2nd stream Australisn outfit. Come Olympics maybe Kay may get a jersey. The rest are all great players but few will get a look in when our NBA players put their hands up.
