"Croatia has missed five threesome in the second quarter"
That's where the game was lost right there.
Better than Carfino's commentary.

Olaf i think it had more to do with them "losing two balls in the half" that almost happen to me once but i wont go into that here.

True.
Prka entering is also a concern especially for Markota.

lol that translation and further comments was funny as!

Only beat Croatia (ranked 20) by 4???????.....hmmm

The Fans Man (Dan?) - Boomers without Bogut and Neilsen (two starters), don't read too much into that.

Here's a link to a FIBA story that is more easily read:

http://linky.com.au/eccj3

Boomers did well without Neilson and Bogut and the fact they had just completed a 36-hour travel stint to make it to the game!
The FIBA story linky mentions the Boomers as a medal chance...will be tough but would love to see it.
Good the Boomers are now playing European competition after playing the Asian champions (Iran) and the New Zealanders. We have to beat the best in Europe and South America to medal. The game against Brazil will also help, and the upcoming game against Greece is probably the biggest indicator to how we could go in Beijing as the Greek's are very strong.
