What do Australia have to do to beat Argentina

They have to score..

No one was really a standout in the last game, Nielson top scored with 13.

I believe Nielson,Bogut,Barlow,Newley,CJ have to play more minutes find their A game and bring it big time this next crunch game. Mills to swap in for some court time with CJ and Anderson for Neilson.

The last game none of these guys played more than 24 minutes.. Goorjan has to let go of his stupid rotation system and let these guys get on a roll scoring wise.

These are the guys most likely to score, Barlow in particular has to fire and get on a roll. Sure they all want court time, but none of the others look likely and their stats lately prove it.

What are others thoughts on how Australia can beat Argentina?

Run some offences that end with a score

In short:

- Give the damn ball to Bogut in the low post. Pound that sucker in there. Let him play.

- Not living and dying on the outside shot would be a good start

- Stop Manu getting to the rim

- Stop Scola from dominating (again)

- Goorj to get ejected in the first 5 mins and someone else to take the reigns.

- Try and keep a leash on Nocioni.

Hell, they cost me $30 on the first game, I'm not chucking away good money for this game.

I think your on to something there MH.. Australia seem a bit adlib on the offence..ie(they have no idea) Do they run offencive plays? It sure doesn't look like it.

Play some dam D. Dont wait until 15 down before we start with ball pressure full court.

Bogut needs to be a force inside and agree with Davidk and play the studs so they can find some form.

Barlow to dominate...

Move the ball even half as well as Croatia did and get to the rack.

in Summary so far:

Play the big guns - more mins more score
Run some offence
Barlow, CJ have to light up - more 3's please
Pound Bogut inside
stop Manu and Scola
move the ball like Croatia, (half as good will do)
pray
score 1 more point than them.

Easy enough.. blueprint for our win tonight.

Run over noc with a bus. He'd just get up and keep playing with anything less.
Offer some Coke to Gino...with a nose like that......

Keep Bogey in the game. IF he leaves the court, Scola is just going to walk in the lane for layup drills again.

Let Newls Barlow Mills and Jingles run
