USA Dreamteam vs Aust. Boomers

**Dizaster** · 08-20-2008 10:18 AM

This game is on in a few hours I think.. Or maybe a little bit less... Australia were playing quite poor at the start of the tournament, but they just had a very good with over one of the top teams, Lithuania. And before that we had a decent win over another country which I can't remember who that was..

But next up we've got the team to beat, the USA.... I'm staying up to watch it, as long as Australia can keep in it... I'm betting about a 16 point win to America, but should be good.

Something very interesting I heard during the USA vs Russia game was that in the 4 games that the USA had played already, the outstanding Point Guard (and one of my favourite players) Jason Kidd hadn't made or attempted a single basket... Had not attempted to put up a single shot, or even taken foul shots from the line... I thought that was pretty amazing. But it shows what a valuable player he is from a team perspective to be able to make a big difference in 4 games without even looking at the basket..

Anyway, anyone else going to be watching this game?

I will be if it hasn't been on already as I just got back from training and womens softball is on. Hopefully the game starts soon if it hasn't already?

The softball has been going for f'n ages!!! The actual game was scheduled to finish 40 minutes ago, but it was equal scores so they had to play on and it's been staying on equal so the game will drag on forever at this rate..

It's not even like there is any eyecandy.. The japanese team all have sideburns and look liek boys, and the aussie girls have names like titcum... It's not a pretty site...

I saw advertised at the bottom of the screen that the bball is on right after this game... Although i'm sure it has already started by now, just because Australia has a medal in this game, channel 7 won't dream of taking their eyes off it... Little do they realise everyone is just waiting for the basketball and doesn't give a shit about the softball...

Buttfuckers!!! The game went for an extra 50 minutes only to see Australia lose...

THEN, the flick to the baskeball and half of the fucken game is over...

So pissed off...

Darn.. Australia are being to greedy.. They are averaging to be down by 7 through the second quarter.. Every time they get a turnover though and can bring the margin down, they try to go for a 3 pointer and miss and lose the chance.... If they just went for some easy 2's on the turnovers, they'd be nearly level.. But their desperation to keep trying to hit 3's every time they get the ball, they'll be down by 20 points soon...
They need to just keep with the U.S. on 2's and allow them to make the mistakes, and make them pay for it each time by getting ANY score...
