NBL 2022-23

Not NBL, but the Tall Blacks are in action in the Asian Cup.
Won our first game easy against India but in a tight one right now against Lebanon. Down 36-39 at HT.
It’s a very young side. Young Flynn Cameron is a starter.
-
No good. We lose by 14. Couldn’t contain their good guard Arakji. And we just turned the ball over way too much - 15 turnovers to 3. Plus our foul shooting sucked as well.
-
We are hanging around in this semi-final. Can’t hit shots though.

Is the game on in NZ?
-
On ESPN in Oz.
Tall Blacks read my post, they’ve gone on a great little run. We were down 14 when I posted and now only down 6 😎
-
Jordie Hunt is playing huge for us. Need one of our guards to start firing.
-
Maker with a poster. Oz go on a run and it’s back to 10 point lead.
-
Far out we are looking like a rec league team in the last 2 minutes - turnovers and missing wide open shots.
-
We’ve started the 4th very well. Just over 7 minutes to go and we are only down 5. Passing is miles better and we are making shots.
-
Timmons is having a big quarter so far. Doing everything for us.
Although Oz killing us on the offensive boards.
-
Our half court offence has gotten far too stagnant. Flynn is dancing with the ball too much and putting pressure on other guys late in the shot clock.
75-69 OZ with 3:40 to go.
-
Perot-Hunt yeah baby. 4 point play.
-
Maker with a huge 3 and Oz back up by 5
-
Now McDowell-White hits a sweet one from the corner.
Oz up 81-73. 2:33 to go.
-
Tohi hits a big 3.
81-76 OZ. 54 seconds to go.
-
McDowell-White with another big 3.
84-76
-
Some hard lessons for a few of our younger guys down the stretch.
We were right there and really troubled the Boomers.
-
We eventually lose 85-76. Very good game and both teams showed what they were capable of.
We played above ourselves. Now we go to the bronze medal match.
-
@ACT-Crusader I was surprised when I heard the result as this is more like a C team. Good to build some depth though.
-
The other semi-final had everything, even a bit of a scuffle after the game 😉
Lebanon beat Jordan by 1 point.
Lebanon will give Oz some trouble.
Jordan are tough and have gotten better as the tournament has progressed. We will have to play strong to beat them.
