Excellent quarter by the Aussies- their foul trouble might come back later to bite them in the butt, but some very solid play- and hitting the shots.

USA has hit a couple of prayers and a buzzerbeater at half time (who was defending Deron? what else did you expect him to do with a second left???). Their poor FT shooting has kept us in the game though. We need a BIG improvement on the boards if we want to stay close. We missed a couple of gimmes as well.

I know we are going to lose tonight, but some of the calls/refs have made tonight have been disgusting esp that 'so called' foul by Anstey going for the rebound against Howard ..

Geez, after tonight, there is no doubt Pat Mills is going to be a lottery pick ... Whilst we're getting belted, it's been a joy to watch him play ..

Andrew Gaze is an embarrassment.

What a sook he's been since USA have been 10+ up.

He did have some sound points though.

The Americans are arrogant, there is no disputing it and they do themselves no favours for being that way.

I hope Argentina beat them again.
