BOOMERS INTO THE FINAL FOUR!!!!

Got over the Czechs 82-70 with an outstanding second half. Not quite the quality of the France game but pretty solid none-the-less. Patty Mills is to the Boomers what Steve Smith is the Aussie Cricketers. Bogut also great in the second half.

...and yes the USA got knocked out by France which I didn’t want to mention until we were through. That just emphasises the quality of our victory over them.

Wasn't the greatest game but it was a fantastic 3rd qtr that set up the win. Mills is the Aussie Michael Jordan, lol

So stoked we have made the top 4. And great that the USA & Serbia got knocked out too. Really opened up for the Boomers.

Spain will be hard on the short turn around, not ideal that they get an extra days rest. Will need to play our best ball.

Awfully nice of them to schedule the game so it will finish before the Eagles game on friday night as well, lol

amazing to think Mills only got a place on the AIS squad when Pendles pulled out to focus on football

Final score Spain 95 - Australia 88.

Massive opportunity missed.

Looked like winners for long periods in regular time but left the door open for the Spaniards and just could not find the big play at the right time. Turnovers and poor offence cost us late.

DAMN IT!!!!
