My early issue with 9 is the sound being 1 sec ahead of the footage.

Yeah, I noticed that too.
Seems better now?
Good start by the Boomers.

 

[TBB1983]

A lot of fouls it’s been a good game so far.

 

[TBB1983]

My 9Now blacked out for 2 minutes in the 4th. Good first win we don’t look too bad.we do turn the ball over a lot though. Some players looked like they struggled defensively at times but overall a good first game

 

[P-Dawg]

Great win by the Boomers

Landale was big, Giddey showed his worth with ball in hand. Though I was very impressed by Dyson Daniels game

 

[GarnettFan4Life]

Good much needed win to start!

 

[Dodgydave]

If Giddey is going to knock down jumpers like he did in the first half, Australia will be in good shape.

sums up the opening ceremony nicely

Big game from Giannis but Greece just don’t have enough to compete with Spain.

AUS v CAN up soon

Go aussies looking good so far. Greece have nothing without giannis. We should be one of two out of this group

Giddey off to a flyer.

I’ve got a mate over there - says the crowd is loud as hell and is nuts, great atmosphere for both teams - doesn’t show up on tv well for the most part

 

[TBB1983]

Definitely a bigger crowd than the Matilda’s game. Yeah it doesn’t seem loud as hell on tv. What’s with patty mills off balance one leg shots that he keeps missing

man Dillion Brooks is a great villain l

man Dillion Brooks is a great villain lol - i can't stand him

Feel like they upped their D in the 2nd half. Turnovers and lack of shooting showing in the 2nd half...that and nobody being able to stop RJ Barrett.

 

[GarnettFan4Life]

yeah Canada came out with a great 2nd half game plan - way more intense

I love watching SGA play too - so good - early foul trouble kept him a bit quieter than could have been

 

[TBB1983]

Hahaha Brooks is good fun. I didn’t feel like Canada did much different. My opinion is Australia once they were behind lost composure and instead of playing slower and building up like the first half they rushed and tried to force too much, which caused a lot of turnovers

 

[Jonathand]

Played well against canada

Just watched some of the 3x3 highlights - I thought USA would be a favourite but Jimmer Fredette just looks too small out there. Serbian team was lanky as hell and just got the switch they wanted every time.
