Another big game, who do you think will win?

Come on Australia! :D
 
come on aussie come on, come on. we should send lara bingle (who is single now) in bikini and stick her behind our bench in order to distract serbs.

it'll be tough but with little bit of luck ... who knows. what time is the game on fox? 11.30 pm? am I right?
 
no question about it with Teodosic and krstic back in the lineup this will be a walk in the park ;)

84-59
 
I am sorry, but this is the game when the dream dies for the friendly Aussies. :(

Serbia is no Germany. :eek:
 
Serbia aint that chop from what I have seen from them so far this tournament. Beating up on minnow nations and then losing to Germany

Australia more than capable of winning this one.
 
Marić has repeteadly said that his heart beats for Serbia and not for Australia..
I hope he won't have a heart attack today.. :rolleyes:
and if he played badly against the teams he doesn't like, how bad will he look against the team he does like?
Australia wasn't routed by anyone in the preps or on this tournament..
they had a bad game against Jordan which they won and they had a great game against Argentina which they lost..
Scola virtually did anything he wanted against aussie bigs..
I don't think Krstić or Perović can repeat that kind of performance..
Australia has a good inside out game..
Serbia plays a tougher defence..
I would say 50-50 game but I will be cheering for Aussies in this one..
Aussie, Aussie, Aussie.. oy, oy, oy...
 
I think Australia will get this one. Inside are thougher than Serbia, outside Serbia has a sort of Teodosic addition.
+10 for the Australians.

By the way, the Maric issue. If he really feels Serbia as the team he wanted to play for and knowing in advance he couldn't play for them, he could have simply said he does not want to play for the Australian NT anymore. As easy as that! However, playing for Partizan this seasson, I guess it has more to do with populism than with real feelings. Otherwise, he can always renounce to the Australian passport.... :cool:

Ha,ha... At least it'll be fun to know you're gonna be cheering for Maric...:p

Anyway, it's a do or die game for us. If we lose, we're facing USA.
Australia is capable of beating us, but I hope that this won't be their lucky game...

me cheering for them has nothing to do with the fact they are playing against Serbia..
I always cheer for that team, don't know why.. I kinda like their attitude towards the game and the game style as well..
and also Bogut being a croatian helped..
and I'm kinda hoping Marić won't be used much tonight, that would be a plus for Aussies..

Sorry.
But Maric is a perfect guy for you not to like. He played for your regional rival and now he will play for PAO (afaik not your favourite team).
Plus, his choice of music (Baja Mali Knindza...) probably doesn't help (at least makes me kind of sick...).
 
I'm rooting for Australia :D Pattrick Mills will be good again (I hope) and Australia needs better play of Newley, Nielsen and Marič. :) Good luck, aussies.
 
Finally ,real test for us..with full roster:D:cool:
After yesterday results this is very important game for both teams..I hope we will win!
 
I voted for Serbia, but have no idea what will happen. So far it has been very confusing looking at both teams. I think that fear from USA will make the difference for Serbia. (and a longer bench).
After all it would be a shame for all of them losing in the 1/8 finals...and finish the tournament.
 
Australia don"t have better inside game. Anderson is the jump shooter , Maric has no post game whatsoever . With Krstic back we have advantage over Austalia at center position also we have 3 serviceable 4"s . Serbian team with Teodosic is completely different I am also expecting easy win over Australia I would be shocked if Australia beat us.
