But it looks like on average France is ranked ahead of Australia so an upset?

boomers beat Serbia in the warm ups (without one of their guns), so we CAN win this one. probably depends on which Patty Mills turns up, and if we can contain turnovers to a minimum

The good Patty turned up and the Boomers had a very good win over Serbia.

The rankings are hard to follow. As I interpret them, the Opals are ranked higher but France was the favourite based on tournament results and home games advantage.
It was a good win either way.

The Opals play Serbia too.
Re: Opals and Boomers at the Paris Olympics - madbluboy - 08-06-2024
Opals should win easily.
Boomers will get smashed, we won't be able to stop Jokic.

If it wasnt for Bogdanvic shooting the lights out they would have got knocked over imho..
Re: Opals and Boomers at the Paris Olympics - madbluboy - 08-06-2024
Jokic is the best player in the world. There is a huge difference when he sits on the bench, that's when they're vulnerable.
Re: Opals and Boomers at the Paris Olympics - DJC - 08-06-2024
Impressive first quarter from the Boomers.
Let’s hope they can keep it up ?
