ive seen him a little bit on ESPN...

hes looks quicker than he was when he last played for aus

but yeh got in and drawed some fouls did a nice no look pass too Ingles who got the 2 plus foul
team looked a lot better scoring wise when he was out there

How I wish I had fox. Can anyone fill me in?

How did Nielson play? Can't wait to see him at the Olympics.

And Since when is Shawn Redhage Australian??

 

[Panthers_God]

I'd say Mee, Harvey, Redhage out.

Others like Bogut, Bruce, MacKinnon, Anderson, Jawai will be surely considered.

Mckinnon is injured , bruce isnt in good form and it seems mills has taken hes spot

he didnt really do to much, rebounded ok

Redhage applied for citerenship last year and got it but only one of mee and redhage can play at the olympics

 

[Alehana]

this had to be the most poorly advertised game in perth, i only heard it was played in perth the day after it was played, no wonder the nbl is in a crisis.

 

[joel caine number 1 fan]

game 2 on now ,hopefully they stop shooting the 3

Mills>>>Bruton

 

[Panthers_God]

Australia up 50-20 at the half??

 

[Panthers_God]

Iran were FIBA Asia champions? Who are they missing??

Boomers up 80-32 into the fourth
If this is any indication of the olympics looks like we have a pushover in Iran in our group.

Its not like Australia are on fire either. They are just playing solid basketball and Iran look like amatures TBH. They pass when they should shoot they shoot when they should pass... their passes don't stick... Poor game IMO.
