seven.com.au has stream 7, 7.2 and 7mate so guessing it might be on tv, it bloody better be what could be better than a boomers game?

Surely it will be on TV? They've got three channels showing the Olympic stuff overnight.

I'd just like to know which of the three channels it will be on to set the timer to record it. Chances are not the main one so probably 7TWO or 7mate.

Completely fired up for this now Bogut is playing but definitely not over confident.

If our offense looks to have no system and we start going all ISO ball I don't know if I can stay up to watch.

Agree with Zodiac - will tape 7mate and 7two.

Some honesty would be nice in terms of being told which channel will be showing what. I'll be very pissed if I record two channels and it's on the third.

If we beat France look out!!

When's the last time we won our first game at the olympics.

The game will be streamed. I wouldn't rely on it being on TV. So have back ups ready

"When's the last time we won our first game at the olympics."

1996 I think

:/

"The TV guide says it's on the normal ch 7, but Ch 7's Olympic Twitter account just said 7TWO, so who knows really !!"

Cheers thanks for the info. I'll try 7TWO because unfortunately I've only got single tuner PVR so can't record two channels at the same time. Pretty unlikely the full game will be on the main channel but better chance on the secondary channel.

Thanks again!

This will be a huge test against France for mine they are the likely silver medallist with Spain missing M. Gasol & Ibaka so will tell us where we are at. The big issue is we're always slow out of the gates to start these tournaments and run right into a likely medallist first up.

Stoked Bogut's playing straightens us right up.

Promo just said Boomers game is 3:15 EST on channel 7 two

Yeah apps stuffed! Does my head in when you pay money for this sort of thing and it crashes. Will be angry if the full games not televised...

Where do you get a tv schedule for the Olympics? Or do they just make it up as the go along?

so where is the game then?

I've got it working on the app but the commentary is virtually non-existent. Why can't we get the Channel 7 commentators? The Foxtel app was way better 4 years ago.

Anyway great start so far by the Boomers - our D is impressive and France look rusty. May have worked to our advantage drawing them first.

yeah figured as much 3 channels and still no basketball.......timing wise with hockey and cycling will be lucky to even get the last 10 minutes

They just stated that Basketball will be on "next" on channel 7.

I had to update the app to get it to work but no commentary.

Great start by the Boomers, although got lucky with a few terrible passes/fumbles by France.

Refs already made two shockers when a French player has taken it out of court and giving it back to them

Hopefully they will restart the game from the tip off after the hockey but I'm getting a bit tired so I could be dreaming a lot like there great coverage with this shit app.

Get on Twitter and use #7Olmypics and #boomers to let Channel 7 know how disgraceful they are.

Boomers playing great. Great defense and offense clicking.

Gobert giving Delly a lot of trouble when he's driving in to dish off

Parker getting hot.

With the 7 Olympics site down, any other ways to watch? My attempt to use NBC's website failed as it requires a TV provider login (although it worked 2 hours ago without a login).

and back to the pool arrrgh

Lemanis with a great tech foul to get us right back in the game...

Have jingles and Mills forgot how to move their feet on defence with Parker? So flat footed.

My Olympics on 7 app hasn't got through once. Stupid app. I can't believe in this day and age, there isn't the ability to be able to watch the event you want on the device you want.

We don't have the guards to stop guys like Parker, our guys are NBA back-ups and NBL starters

Can't use the app rjd? Silly silly tech foul by Lemanis.

App is working well for me except that the commentary is about 5-10 seconds ahead of the game.

Yeah, the app is shit. It's crashed twice for me, and when it does get up and running, there is no commentary and it's delayed a tad

App finally loaded up for me, right in time for the non-existent halftime entertainment.

Go to seven 2.

Great plays to start the third by the Boomers!

Bogut has been an assist machine.

Bogut's court vision is outstanding.

We are not boxing out on defence enough. We keep getting caught out by offensive rebounders every now and again. The most basics parts of the game keep causing us issues in defence

Somehow the American commentators can't manage to get the name Lisch correctly pronounced.

Why is Bairstow getting so many minutes, brings absolutely nothing to the game!!

So this is what Australia looks like with an actual point guard, and not Shane Heal

We're going so well but Tony Parker has had a lot of rest and just checked back in.

Boomers up by 19 with 8.37 left. Bogut a beast, Delly dishing delights and d'lisch.

Great start to competition.

Goulding with the airball haha

Great win by the guys. Hopefully we can continue to play with such poise and as a team.

Anon I'd be interested. Also team USA games as well

Classic Bubbles, going full pleb

Alright so we just fucking beat world number 4 france by 21 points. BOOM BABY BOOM

That was ridiculously surprising in a good way. Couldn't believe how smooth our offence was and how terrible France's defence was. Delly to Bogut for the lob was on repeat, Mills awesome shooting and energy and Bogut proved his worth with some beautiful passing.

Lisch also proved his worth with some very timely threes.

Doesn't get any easier though with Serbia next.

Well done to the Boomers. I had expected France to put up more of a fight, but credit to the Boomers for some excellent execution and solid D. Some of the passing was superb. Bogut helped enormously at both ends. And we did it playing a slower tempo than usual; we out-Euroed them.

There are a few anonymous accounts that wont be making comments on this win. It is kind of hard to say "Boomers suck" when they beat a medal favorite by 21.

Holy ... :O

What a way to start your Sunday! Go Boomers!

Recap: Boomers dismantle France, Bogut shines

The Offense was sensational. Fantastic to watch. No ISO at all.

This has got to be close to the best team basketball I have seen the Boomers play.

Lemanis really extracted maximum value from our main guys - Bogut is just a ridiculously great fit!

Assisting on >75% of their FGs is indicative of how beautiful our offense was to watch, France's lack of interest defensively notwithstanding.

That really sets us up well so long as we can knock off China and Venesuala. Even if we drop to Serbia, the 20pt margin will be a big help in the event of a three-way tie.

Well worth the sleepless night.

Just finished the replay and that was a damn fine game we played. Really smart basketball. Super defence at one end, and attacking, unselfish play at the other.
Lisch gave us exactly what I was hoping for.

Couldn't be more happy with the Boomers. That's exactly the style they've been building towards and they executed it to almost perfection.

Serbia will be tougher to disrupt, they'll be better at picking that D apart with the ball in Teodosic or Jokic's hands, but if Bogut hits repeat on this morning we are every chance.

That was one of the better Boomers games ive seen.

The highlight was the timing in the options of those offensive sets and pin point execution.

The one that really stuck out was where they looked at three or four options then scored on the reversal....bloody beautiful basketball...they had the French defenders chasing shadows !!

Andre & coaching staff....im impressed !!

Gotta give credit to Lemanis, that's the best Aussie performance I've seen in a long time - I expected much worse given our lead up games. France just way overplayed the 3 and gave up back cut after back cut... No idea why they went away from iso Tony Parker either, because that's about all that was working for them.

It was funny watching Martin try D up on Parker for a stretch there. Bit on about 3 fakes and lost him repeatedly.

Haha, yeah I enjoyed watching Damo out there too. He got a bit of a lesson today but it will do him good.

Damo hitting a three was a bit of a laugh lol

I never thought this day would come, but Aron Baynes' hair means I can no longer root for my own country.

Putting aside the perhaps life altering hairstyles of Aron Baynes that was probably the best game I've ever seen the Boomers play. It wasn't Heal & Gaze getting hot from outside it was pure basketball execution the back cuts made France look second rate and to be fair their horrible defence helped to make us look fantastic.

Massive props to Bogut didn't think he had a game like that still left in him.

That was outstanding! Everything worked at both ends for the whole game. France were out played and out coached. I certainly didn't expect such a comprehensive win, particularly as it was the first game of the tournament. Bogut fitted in waaay better than I anticipated. Starting him and Baynes together turned out to be a master stroke. I also thought the Boomers looked like a really tight team. They weathered Parker's second quarter heroics and Ingles' 4th foul without departing from the team defence and team offence.Individual work rates were high for 40 minutes. Very impressive opening and they'll have their tails up against Serbia. Go Boomers!

"So this is what Australia looks like with an actual point guard, and not Shane Heal"


Barry Barnes would still keep Delly on the bench and have heal jacking up prayers

Well, his NBA career 3p% is about .395 higher than yours, so he has that going for him.
