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.
-
Wow, that was an up and down game. Smith-Milner on fire in the second half. Tall Blacks get the win and 3rd place. Doing one better than the last Asian Cup when we came 4th.
Jordan was lights out in the first half and got out to a good lead. But then Smith-Milner caught fire from 3.
We almost coughed it up after hitting the lead with some poor turnovers, but Jordan also did some dumb stuff.
Congrats to Pero and the team. Great tournament and the pleasing thing is that we lost two games all tournament against the two teams in the Grand Final.

Good to get someone with pro experience. The kids preparing for the draft aren't good enough to help us compete
