    Refs are very inconsistent, everyone on both sides getting upset.

    It’s going to be a very interesting World Cup.

    Fulltime
    Aus - 81
    Can - 73

    Australia tried harder, Canada looked tired. Refs still allowed a very physical game by NBA standards.

    Australia rested Baynes for the first game, and rested Mills and Bogut for the second.

    It's kind of disgusting what's going on with US players. So Fox decided now that his goal is the playoffs? He didn't know it one month ago?

    Kind of sad for Spain how old they're getting - two of their starters are ex-Blazers:

    True, but.....

    Nike rankings have Spain the #1 team in the FIBA Euro zone. #2 overall behind USA.

    Which makes this a very nice win for team USA.

    Spain has been pretty consistent all those years, but Serbia should be a level above them currently.

    As the ex Blazer and coach of Serbia NT, Djordjevic, said about potentially meeting USA'If We Meet, May God Help Them'

    No doubt - they might have the best player in the tournament in BOBAN. All right, Jokic. They're hurt a little by Teodosic being injured, though.

    Teodosic looks like he is done unfortunately, he seems like 40 years old..Big miss,but they have Micic to play the point who I believe is better. They play with Jokic/Boban together on court a few mins which is fun!

    God we cannot shoot to save our lives. Sloukas injury is terrible for Greece. Bogdanovic is a killer. Typical Serbian.

    Jonah Bolden has withdrawn from the Australian squad due to "personal reasons".

    PJ Tucker is out of the US squad with an ankle injury.

    Smart hasn't played yet, so if he isn't healed and ready to go he would be the obvious choice. If not him, one of the three bigs?
