Not NBL, but the Tall Blacks are in action in the Asian Cup.
Won our first game easy against India but in a tight one right now against Lebanon. Down 36-39 at HT.
It’s a very young side. Young Flynn Cameron is a starter.
No good. We lose by 14. Couldn’t contain their good guard Arakji. And we just turned the ball over way too much - 15 turnovers to 3. Plus our foul shooting sucked as well.

We are hanging around in this semi-final. Can’t hit shots though.
Is the game on in NZ?
On ESPN in Oz.
Tall Blacks read my post, they’ve gone on a great little run. We were down 14 when I posted and now only down 6 
Far out we are looking like a rec league team in the last 2 minutes - turnovers and missing wide open shots.
We’ve started the 4th very well. Just over 7 minutes to go and we are only down 5. Passing is miles better and we are making shots.
Timmons is having a big quarter so far. Doing everything for us.
Although Oz killing us on the offensive boards.
Our half court offence has gotten far too stagnant. Flynn is dancing with the ball too much and putting pressure on other guys late in the shot clock.
75-69 OZ with 3:40 to go.
Some hard lessons for a few of our younger guys down the stretch.
We were right there and really troubled the Boomers.
We eventually lose 85-76. Very good game and both teams showed what they were capable of.
We played above ourselves. Now we go to the bronze medal match.
@ACT-Crusader I was surprised when I heard the result as this is more like a C team. Good to build some depth though.
