Is this showing on Fox Sports?

Will be interesting to see how Thon Maker fares in international basketball

Thon Maker doesn't play in the NBL.

The team:

Angus Brandt (Perth)
Cam Gliddon (Brisbane)
Adam Gibson (Brisbane)
Chris Goulding (Melbourne)
Craig Moller (Melbourne)
Jason Cadee (Brisbane)
David Andersen (Illawarra)
Brad Newley (Sydney)
David Barlow (Melbourne)
Jesse Wagstaff (Perth)
Alex Loughton (Cairns)
Daniel Kickert (Sydney)

7 players over 30 and Goulding turning 30.
I would've given more younger players a go but I guess it comes down to availability.

It's just a friendly as opposed the the qualifying games against Philippines and Japan in a few weeks featuring Delly and Maker

^me

This hasn't been a great game.

Boomers defense has been OK, but their offense is woeful. No one on this Boomers team can really take on the defense and win it with slick individual offense except maybe CG43, and he hasn't done it. So they're relying on team offense, but the big guys just aren't giving them enough out of the post. And even Threes aren't dropping at a good rate.

Sorry "NBL" team I meant to say

Offense isn't really clicking.

Another reason to bring young guys in- at least they've got years ahead to learn the Boomers offense. I just don't see the point of having a team full of old guys.

Boomers take a 8 point lead after a couple of threes from Kickert and Barlow

I get that you might want to bring a couple of vets who know the system well, like Gibson and Kickert, but I think there isn't much point in bringing guys off the bench like Wagstaff, Barlow and Loughton.

May as well go Majok Majok, Anthony Drmic and Dan Trist.

Or Ogilvy, Nick Kay and DJ- where are those guys? Unavailable or just out of favour with Lemanis?

Cadee will have a breakout season imo

Aussies class finally came to the fore in the last, Kickert and Cadee hitting nice shots, defense continually suffocating the Chinese and turning that into some turnovers.

Kickert has been the Aussies best. Barlow has played a role well and just got beaten by the shot clock with a big 3. Aussies just a bit too nimble with the 3 guard 3G lineup CG, Gibbo Gliddon

Sorry that was actually Cadee Gibbo CG

I don't rate Gliddon much either.
Goulding has definitely improved his defence this past 12 months. It was on show tonight.

Definitely missed Brandt being able to muscle his way the the basket.

If Larry Kestleman and the NBL thinks they're going to be able to sell ice to eskimoes and increase interest in the NBL with these games, he has another thing coming.

The standard of basketball has been well below your regular NBL game, and our players struggle to show their wares when haphazardly mashed together several months after their last professional play. If you want to gain Chinese interest you have to show that what you have is better and more entertaining than what they have, and we have failed to do that across all 3 of the NBL All Australian series.

And then there's the team make up. Who decided to have 9 combo guards against a long and athletic China? Obviously not a member of MENSA.

I fail to see the point of these series anymore. China isn't interested and they're never going to be particularly interested. If they want the very best, they'll watch the NBA. If they want to see a game live, they'll go to a CBA game. Only an extremely small minority of fans will want to check out other leagues, and so far nothing we've shown would even appeal to them.

If you absolutely have to keep making moves with China we should send our Championship team to play against the CBA champions soon after the season, so you get to see what well-oiled NBL looks like.

Or if you're more set on All Australian teams, send out some young guys with a lot of potential like Wilson, Deng, Trist etc so you can at least play these things with the Boomers in mind, because most of this team tonight was past 30.

Hard to pick a less exciting crop of Aussies. I guess the older blokes are using it to help keep themselves in shape, while the younger guys probably don't see the point.

So what was the result?

Are these games free to stream, or part of the subscription?
