Tall Ferns vs Opals, Aug 14

Game thread here.

Live stream for $8

Post a live stats link when you have one.

Game starts at 3:00pm (AEST) and the Boomers at 5:30pm. Highlights on ABC1 at 11:45pm (AEST).

Any match ups likely to trouble the Opals?

commentators mentioned that one of the Opals has a loss in the family so they're all wearing armbands as a sign of respect

Ordinary start for the Opals. NZ have looked the better team when LJ hasn't been out there.
Early days of course ... I expect us to blow them away once the game settles down.

NZ playing with a lot of youth and they are giving it a good crack.

Lucky we haven't hit all our 3s or we would be up by 20

opals just need to get a little more in synch - lot of open looks and moving the ball nicely - we look better with natalie, belinda, and loz out there.

Commentator just said that the winner of the series goes on to play in the world cup. I thought both Aus & NZ have both qualified (2 oceania spots) and these games were just for rankings.

Can someone clear this up for me? thx

young Kiwi side putting up a fight but am expecting a 4th quarter blowout (Opals 3's will start falling) unless a couple of people on the Tall Ferns get real hot.

no only 1 spot - only 1 team from Oceania gets through to worlds from what i understand - olympics may be different

thanks strat.

I just had a look at the wiki http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2014_FIBA_Basketball_World_Cup_qualification

seems like both aus and nz have already qualified and these games are purely for ranking purposes :)

Oceania has 2 spots in the Worlds for the men, but only 1 spot for the women.

So the women are playing to see who qualifies, the men are playing for seedings as both have qualified.

Why is Marino not suiting up for NZ. Is she injured?

When was the last time Marino took to the court for NZ?
I don't think she took to the caught during the Oceania championships in 2011 - at least not during the Melb match. I know she was on the bench but can't remember if she was even suited up then.

low scoring last quarter, did both teams clear their bench?

Should not have been that close. We should not need to rely on Lauren Jackson's 22 points to beat NZ.
Hoping for a much better Opals performance in the sequel.
