He kicked our you know what, and while I'm at it........
1. Brian, get more imaginative with the offence.You've run much better stuff before but this was just so plain.I know there has been limited time but better to try and run some stuff and maybe get it wrong than not try at all.
2.Aaron Bruce is a backup point in the NBL. Start Markovic.
3. Run some shit where Bogut gets the ball moving into the post...not bang up 1 on 1 which isn't his strength (see Milwaukee).
4.Start Newley, at least he plays with some passion. The US College crew need some emotion about them, they are robots. Intensity + emotion = great D not intensity alone. Start a fight, do something but just don't keep takin' it from behind like we did .
Play the ones who distinctly dislike NZ and will bleed to do so. Not many out there last game.
5. No go to player bar Bogut.Where is Andrew G?
6. Bench get involved rather than sit there (possibly pissed off). Fact is some of you are lucky to be there.
7.Time to get some rotations set and stop playing everyone.They've all had a go now, now make a decision on who gets what.
Oh, and did I mention play with some emotion!

Spot on Ken. I'm a big fan of emotion and intensity. Newley has always been hungry to play for Australia, and each time he hits the floor in the green and gold, he's showed he's grateful and wants to make the most of every chance given to him.
I think Jones should have been put on his butt a few times after hitting his first 3. Let him know he's being watched, run him into some solid Bogut screens, vicious boxout outside the key, few well chosen words about sheep, maybe could have evoked a headbutt out of him?
bruce backup nbl pg? NBAdraft.net says hes more like a 2008 late second round pick.
