Tickets were reduced by like 75%! Everything must go!
Canada has dominated so far. They seem to have an answer every time the Tall Blacks make a run.

True to form, the Canadians are being super polite in post-game interviews,

How was Quay Centre like as a venue for basketball?

Probably the same as it's been for the last 40 years?

Is it just me or is it really hard to find the stream on SBS on demand?
Went to the game, Canada lost number 10 early to what looked like a bad ankle injury, he was on fire to. Canada very organised, always team first and smart with the ball. Very good defensively but have no great height though all were very athletic. If Australia go out in first round and NZ go to Olympics it will be a travesty, no one look great and again there height is slow, Loe hit a few threes late in the game, Fotu was ok and both Webster's had there moments but not much else. Abercrombie has slowed and Delaney other tan a few offensive boards not much. There defence was poor. The rest oh boy.

That's the same observation for the Australia vs Canada games. Canada has really tight defence and very organised offence.

Watching the replay now.
Kenny has a mullet WTF ha ha
Watch Smith-Milner three quick fouls, thought he an all black instead of tall black.
The haca (spelling?) was great though.

I was at Quaycentre last night for the match, quite entertaining for what turned out to be a blowout. Canadian shooting was very impressive but they were also very active and vocal on defence, and they did not let the standard slip all game.
You have to love Canadians - at the end of the Haka the Canadian players politely applauded the Tall Blacks
