Team USA vs Aussie Boomers - Quarter Finals

[Karma]

Well it all starts mattering from now. All those highlights, blowouts, etc mean nothing if you fall at the next couple of hurdles (just ask China about their hurdler).

So my beloved Boomers bravely fought back after a disastrous start to destroy Russia and Lithuania by 30+ points each. Their reward? Redeem Team.

Well we made you work in the leadup friendly. For some reason I cant see us placing the same pressure upon you guys. We certainly have the big men to hold you there, but your perimeter players (Kobe, James and Wade) will have their way.

Aussie Aussie Aussie Oi Oi Oi

good luck, its hard to root against a country whose battle cry is "Aussie Aussie Aussie Oi Oi Oi"....the coolest patriaotic battle cry on the plannet. But in the end, i am Americain born and bread, so here it goes.

USA! USA! USA! USA!

Australia's only hope is a last minute ringer.

This is just unfortunate. We go into these tournaments with minimal preperation as our players are playing in different competitions around the world and the basketball federation can barely afford the insurance. Anyways, our guys play quite tough and force teams generally to earn their win. I'm not expecting miracles, I just hope we get under your skin.

Could be a good one. I am looking forward to it.

NBC is stupid. I am on the Left Coast, so I go to the TV guide, and B-Ball isn't on at 5. So I go to the schedule (that they play on a channel) and it says the game is on @ 5 pst or 9 pst. I check those time slots for all of the NBC networks - none of them have the game.

It's the record-and-pray method. Ok, it's probably my fault, but still annoying that a regular idiot can't figure it out.

Rep to anyone who can tell me when Cox is playing the game in San Diego live, so that I can record it and start it @ 6:15ish.

Nevermind NBA.com says 8 a.m. est so that means 5 am PST. Shit I'm fillin up the DVR tomorrow.

Team USA can't hit a FT, lebron and kobe ball stopping the offence. Aussie keeping it close. Bogut is going to foul out

1 pt game after first quarter. Getting a little chippy. Lebron playing center now.

USA sucks at free throws...
