This will be interesting how will Australia handle adversity. Aside from the US game everything has come easy. They don't seem to be handling pressure well.
 
what in the blue moon? WOW.. This is not the boomers that we saw all throughout the tournament. we can't shoot a 3 pointer.. credits to serbian defense.
 
Jesus Christ, am I the only one seeing Serbia playing rugby, not basketball in defense? Even in typical Euroleague game, some would have fouled out by now?

We went with big lineup again on defense. We are not switching on defense, just running over and under one the screens. We closed the loop screen, which is basically their one trick pony for Mills, he gets of 70% from it. We are not pressuring the ball so much and not diving in the passing lanes. And the key is that the paint is locked, and if the ball goes in it won't come out. That is the key.

Yep. You are the only one. The defense is clean as it gets, within the rules. Actually the refs got a couple of calls wrong on the other side.

10 points Australia? Really? I'm afraid the Aussie peaked in that 54 point first half against USA. Their career NBA backups are not used to playing these kind of minutes. I hope Australia can prove me wrong, but I don't see it.

Career NBA backups? I'm guessing you're referring to Baynes and Delly? Because Mills and Bogut are both used to playing huge minutes.

14 points in a half has to be a record.
 
Nice job Serbia! Amazing defence. That Mills desperate shot shows how Australia players are feeling so far :D

Do you know who Lamonica or Christodoulou are? Referees in Europe are bad, but not too bad.

We are playing well. Let's see how we open second half, that will be the key.

Also as I have mentioned, deep rotation is KEY for this kind of defense. You saw the minutes by second unit. If you are going to defend like this and play, you gotta have depth and use it. We did the same vs USA.

Mills is a career backup too.
 
Australia only has scored 14 points in 20 minutes??? Ricky Rubio is the new australian shot teacher?

I am a Teodosic hater, but I have to admit that this guy is really really good, too good.
 
Good game from us so far this is first time I see Djordjevic organizing defence on par with what Ivkovic used to do. Still we need to be very very careful coz if we drop they can easly go back in the game. 3rd quarter will tell us all

Mills doesn't starts. That what a backup is. Bogut played limited minutes. He probably didn't play the 4th quarter quarter in over half of Golden State's games last season.
 
Australian basketball always save the worst for playoff basketball, I thought this team was different man
