Russia by 12

Highlight will be a post game interview with coach Brian Goorjian, once again telling Bogut bashers to back off.

A huge game for both teams. The winner will likely grab the 4th and last spot in Group A and probably be playing the U.S. team in the quarterfinals.

most likely Russia will win upon mishearing Goorjian as Georgian. Australia is always a good match up for US team though

Do or out of Olympics for Boomers. Though a loss would be in keeping with the rest of the Australian Olympic squad disappointments that seem to be mounting up as the days roll by.

Also has anyone else found these Olympics to be a cold. Not the same feeling as past games.

Can any of you guys in the US explain to me why this isn't live on that Basketball channel (754) on DirectTV? I thought that was supposed to broadcast every game real time?

Australia has come out with a bit of mongrel. Playing some good defense in this quarter. This is a must win or go home match.

Much better game so far from the Boomers.

Bogut with the strong score in the post and the foul. Awesome entry pass by Nielson!

Bogut's looking strong... great move for the and1.

aussie_magic · Post #17 » by **aussie_magic** » Sat Aug 16, 2008 3:55 am

boomers are playing awsome!
Boguts playing awsome, really leading this team!

Much better performance from the Boomers and much better coaching from Goorjian, he seems to be adjusting the gameplan and getting Andersen and Bogut more touches in the post.

AND, for once channel 7 are actually showing a whole basketball game.

I am stun.

icat2000 · Post #19 » by **icat2000** » Sat Aug 16, 2008 4:06 am

Channel 7 must have been listening to the grumbles on the yahoo site. I too am surprised. It's good that the Boomers are putting in the good show.
