LIVE: Boomers battling to avoid shock World Cup elimination... and Olympics humiliation
In fact, two of the team’s best players — Phoenix sharpshooter Yuta Watanabe and former Melbourne United champion Yudai Baba — combined for just nine points in the win over Finland.
Japan head coach Tom Hovasse called Australia “one of the best teams in the world” after the victory over Finland and there is no doubt the Boomers can be that good. Australia also constantly found itself trailing after slow starts to quarters and while the Boomers were often able to drag themselves back into the contest, bad habits eventually caught up to them.
In that regard, while it is easy to understand why Goorjian has been reluctant to give Josh Green too many minutes given his disrupted preparation for the World Cup, the Dallas Mavericks star is one option to come into the starting unit.
