haha thanks Machooka
Yeah scotty they briefly mentioned he might have dislocated it, commentators that is. Nothing more said
they briefly panned to him and he was grimmising on the bench, kind of got the ball slapped at so hopefully nothing serious

POST MATCH
It was ugly, it was sloppy, but it was enough for Australia to improve to a 4-1 pool record here in Rio.
The Boomers rested Patty Mills, with Dellevedova and Bogut playing minimal minutes, as the NBL/European connection getting it done today.
Venezuela needed a win to make the quarters, but didn’t have enough offensively, shooting 17% from the field in the first quarter. It was all up hill from there, as they were chasing a lead for the entire game.
The likes of Ingles, Baynes and Broekhoff were solid, but it was Goulding who was the Boomers stand out, scoring 22 points. His 3 point shooting looked sharp and may have earned himself some more game time in the latter rounds.
For the Boomers, we stand by and wait for results before knowing who will be the opponent in the round of 8. Either way the Boomers are in fine form, rested, and ready to fire. I smell a medal coming
The margin ends at 25, an educated guess pre game but a good summary of the game that transpired.
Go the Boomers and good luck to every Aussie yet to compete
BOOMERS – 81
VENEZUELA – 56
