Yeah. Just signed up to watch on demand on Maori TV. What a result. Lots of contributions especially with Corey having a quiet game. Delaney picked up 12 points which was crucial. Weird how we got the rebound with 6 seconds to go and the Turks let us dribble it out. Surely you foul there? Anyways all good for us
-
Tremendous win given who Turkey has on their roster.
Aussies v France game was high quality stuff with OZ winning at the foul line.
Sets up a big match tomorrow between France and USA

Serbia knocked out by Argentina, which is a bit of a surprise. If the US beat France they face Argentina in the semis.
Meanwhile Spain will face the winner of Aus and the Czechs.
Wow. They were meant to be the great challenge to the USA. Meanwhile the US are looking pretty good. Have they got Oz next?
-
@canefan no. US can only meet OZ in the gold or bronze medal match assuming both win tonight.
Don’t sleep on Czech Republic. They don’t have any big stars like other teams but they play well as a team. Satoransky and Bohacik (who was a NBA draft prospect several years ago) are good scorers.
If Paddy, Baynes and Ingles play well though OZ should win.
-
Massive result coming for France beating the USA
-
Geez I hope the Aussies lose after listening to Hammer and the other clown commentating.

i just read an astounding fact
35 players were initially invited for the USA team. 4 of them played in the tournament.
-
Serbia beat the US by 5 and Czech Republic bear Poland.
Some great games still to come
Semis - Oz v Spain, France v Argies
Serbia v Czech Republic for 5th place
USA v Poland for 7thPlus the losers of the semis for 3rd and the final of course.
-
Spain in double OT. Intense game but Gasol dominates in the crunch. Mills another phenomenal game.
Ingles went missing in the 4th and both OTs.
-
Another tight game with Argies leading France at HT. Gobert yet to have any real influence so far.
