BASKETBALL 2023 FIBA World Cup

[JayPee]

The kiwis play the USA soon. Will be one sided but always good to see the faces on the yanks when they see the haka for the first time. Plus you get to listen to the greatest national anthem in the world. The NZ national anthem.

 

[Super Freak]

It's a close one so far.

2nd Qtr and it's 23-21 to USA.

 

[Super Freak]

USA's shooting from the 3 point line has been shit so far.

 

[Sproj]

The USA is not the dream team though, that should be caveated. They are running out their C or D team here.

 

[Super Freak]

USA starting to pull away now.

 

[Super Freak]

45-36 to USA at half time.

 

[Super Freak]

Must win game for the Boomers tonight.

Should have beaten Germany, but unfortunately didn't and now in a position where we have to beat Japan to advance.

 

[Super Freak]

Boomers gotta fix their starts. They have been poor this tournament.

They can't let Watanabe run riot either.

 

[Super Freak]

Good start Boomers.

Keep it up.

 

[Super Freak]

Come on guys.

Gotta land those.

 

[Super Freak]

End of the 1st Quarter and Boomers lead 25-17.

Much better start from them, they have been doing well but one of their problems has been maintaining that. They started missing some easy shots at the back end of the quarter. Let's see if they can maintain that pressure and go on with this.

 

[Super Freak]

Terrific play guys.

Giddey playing really well.

 

[Sproj]

Its Japan, they aren't beating Aus at basketball.

 

[Super Freak]

15 point lead for the Boomers atm.

 

[Sproj]

Japan number 5 reminds me of Spud Webb.

 

[Super Freak]

Boomers with the 22 point lead at half time 57-35.

Cooks having a good game.

 

[JayPee]

Finally Josh Green is playing the starter mins. An actually willing shooter. Took a few games but goorjian got there in the end.

He scored 20+ for Dallas on a few opportunities he started in the NBA season too, he has some big games in him, just isn't consistent.
