Men's basketball gold medal game being sporadically shown on TV. Nine keep cutting it every 30 or 40 seconds, it's driving me insane. Australia were up by like 9 last time it was on.

Yeah it's 3 quarter time and it's only 3 points or something difference.

That's a shame, it was actually a pretty good game. New Zealand had the lead during the 2nd and 3rd quarter and the Aussies stepped up in clutch and Pero Cameron stuffed up which gave the Aussies the lead. :crazy:

We got all of the 4th quarter in Adelaide, the football isn't on until 12:30. You can all proceed to suck my balls.

we got most of the game, apart from the news at nine oclock eastern, but yeah. what about luke kendall? he was impressive. makes the three, steals the inbound and hits another almost-three...play of the game for me.

I thought that was a fortunate win. As usual, too many three point attempts (38! 38!) even though two of them were huge down the stretch. They caught a lucky break on that foul that gave them the two free throws to tie it at 73. Nevertheless, they didn't give up and (finally) capitalised on the opportunities presented to them. Congrats to both teams. (Y)

I guess we can now say Australia and New Zealand are officially the top Commonwealth countries when it comes to basketball. :lol:

John Amaechi was playing for England, now that's status.

I care about 3 gold medals....

I want New Zealand to beat Australia to win gold in the men's basketball Drooling
I want the New Zealand Sevens Rugby Union Team to win gold for the 3rd straight time Razz
I want to see Hamish Carter & that other guy do what they did in Athens, go 1-2 in the Men's Triathlon Razz


:lol: must've been a pretty bad Commonwealth games for you.

:lol: @ the medal tally...

Australia: 75 gold, 61 silver, 58 bronze for a total of 194
England: 28 gold, 35 silver, 29 bronze for a total of 92
Canada: 21 gold, 27 silver, 27 bronze for a total of 75

New Zealand: 4 gold, 10 silver, 13 bronze for a total of 27

New Zealand are 9th, level with Malaysia but behind Jamaica, Scotland and Kenya :lol:

I read somewhere that Queensland athletes alone would've finished higher than the Kiwi's.

It's amazing what we can do when the US isn't involved and Britain isn't united. ;)

Seriously though, great performance by the Aussies. (Y)

NZ leads the tally in tin foil medals (4th place)....I heard it could be like 80 or so....if we converted them we'd have liked over 100 medals by now :roll:

at least we won the Rugby 7's & kept it close in bball, that's all that matters I guess....and what's swimming anyway?!? :roll: or arse-licking?!? you can have your Jana Pittman & your medal tally, I'd prefer not to have her & have NZ's medal tally :P
