I know that Mills hit the game winner but seriously and I don't mean to sound unAustralian, I enjoy watching the Aussies play both good and bad games but there was no need for him to attempt the 3 before that. Australia were in front and a 2pt shot or driving the lane and getting the foul would have put us up by 3 and even if Russia made both free throws wouls have us still up by 1 and no need to attempt that last 3.

Having said that well done to the team and goood luck againt the USA. Lets try and keep it respectable for as long as possible

Stupid Olympics. They use points for as the tie breaker rather than PD. Australia and Spain both have 3 wins and 2 losses. Australia has a +37 PD while Spain has only +20. But the stupid Olympics just looks at how much you scored and Spain has PF 414 and Australia has 410, so by a measly 4 points Spain advances to play France (beatable) while Australia has to take on USA (impossible).

That sucks!

Actually they measure it on head to head basis. Spain beat Australia therefore they win that tiebreaker between them.

Ah do they? In that case the game against Russia was totally meaningless for us, but still a great game.

YAY! Go the suns! I just love how they have Goran and Scola both together! Let's hope Harden comes to Phoenix next season, but he'll probably want a big paycheck and I'm not sure if that would be a good move...

Eric Gordon wasnt even worth max contract.
