SCG killed Venezuela. Rakocevic had 26 points (21 at half time) and Milicic played a very good overall game, 18 points, 11 rebounds, 4 blocks and 4 assists. He was getting double and triple teamed constantly but kept finding the open team-mates.
HUGE test against Argentina.

As an Australian-Hornets fan, of course it had to be shooter-iaucus who ripped the Boomers apart like 2 weeks after we cut him.

So we need Brazil to lose for us to make it through?

Yes, Brazil need to lose to Greece (which they are currently doing) and Lithuania tomorrow (and Australia beat Qatar) and then Australia can get bitchslapped by the USA in Round 2
Greece beat Brazil by hitting their free throws down the stretch.
Barbosa only played the last couple minutes of the 4th quarter...in hindisght, should the coach have put him on earlier?

Simon Dwight wont be playing Borg ...
Basically beat Qatar and I think we're in, but we have to beat Qatar...and hopefully by a big margin as well.

please take heaps of pics and post em here! would be awesome!
would this be your wet dream borg?
sydney king hack (insert name here) drives for a layup instead of dunking it, gets swatted, no sent away by dwight. ball ends up on your lap. dwight (after beating chest, yelling and drawing a T) picks the ball from your lap which now has a considerable buldge in it. on the ensuring offensive play, arenas massages the ball too much and his pass is partially picked off, ball is bouncing towards you and dwight dives on the ball only to be embedded on your said bulge

Yeah they are defending great! they beat slovenia and italy by nine points. That isnt to flattering. they are vulnerable! They were losing to italy by 9pts at the half. If they do this 2 spain or argentina they will lose.
My prediction of the serbs making the semi's is wrong because i did not realise that the US is on that side of the draw.
The lessons the serbs learnt is that there is no point in bringing your star players to play if they are going fight amongst themselves and get hammered till all hours of the morning. A locker room can only fit so many big heads. You are far better off not inviting those that dont want to play. I could be wrong but i seriously dont think that the US has the team chemistry to go all the way, i mean they couldnt even chose1 captain FFS! And plus we are playing basketball at the world champs not what they play in the NBA.

When you've got a guy who can take over a game like Melo did against Italy, then you're always a chance.
Will only make the USA stronger, as it was the wake-up call they needed. No one will touch them now.
