Opals: Writing was on the wall
NO-ONE should fault the effort of the Opals at the Tokyo Olympic Games. They gave what they had. The problem is they didn't have very much, a 1-3 win-loss ratio just about as bad as it gets but worse is the fact this steady demise/decline has been staring Basketball Australia in the face.
Boomers: Idle BA must cash in now!
BASKETBALL Australia needs to move like greased lightning to cash in on the national pride the Boomers have captured and seize full advantage of the small window of their Olympic Bronze popularity. Give it another week or two and Patty Mills and the team's exploits will be forgotten.
Happy birthday King Patrick
PATTY Mills turns 33 today, the human embodiment of all that is good in the world, of love and inclusiveness, of compassion and understanding, of tolerance and playfulness, of commitment and forgiveness, of ascending and achieving.

Boomers: Durant buries our gold strike
NBA superstar Kevin Durant carried the USA on his shoulders until it weathered the best Australia had to offer, before turning the Boomers' Gold Medal dreams into a nightmarish 97-78 beating in their Tokyo Olympics semi final today.
Opals: USA wins the one that matters
FLEXING its undoubted muscle as the benchmark of international women's basketball, the Gold Medal-defending USA today clinically and ruthlessly savaged Australia, burying the Opals 79-55 in their Olympic quarter-final in Tokyo.
Boomers: Time to celebrate life of Brian
BRIAN Goorjian unquestionably is the most successful NBL coach in the league's history and arguably the most successful coach of team sports in Australia. But let's be frank, there's been one blemish on his coaching record.
