Haven't paid huge attention to this tournament as of yet, but looks like we're going to need to beat Luka to go through

Also how on Earth did Latvia beat/knock out France? France were nearly Olympic gold medalists

At this point I'd say US and Canada probably the 2 stand out teams

USA and Canada are in 1st gear and winning with ease
 
So, we need to win the next 2 to have any chance of advancing?
Three scenarios:

  • Win both, hope Germany lose both
  • Win both, hope Germany beat Slovenia
  • Lose to Slovenia, beat Georgia, hope Germany lose both and we have the best PD

Just keep winning. Easier said than done :(
Yeah but if we win both and Germany beat Georgia but lose to Slovenia we could miss out still
 
We are trying to thread the needled here and get through to the next stage. A loss of any sort pretty much ends us. Need a bit to go right even if we win both games.

The good news is we have qualified for the Olympics next year. Hopefully we can go into that with a clearer team set up. I'd love to see Simmons have a bounce back year and make himself available.

Starters: Giddey, Green, Dante, Simmons, Landale
Bench: Patty, Daniels, Thybulle, Cooks, Reath

Think Ingles is nearly done, probably completely done in 12 months. Need to find some shooting for the last few spots.

Edit: Proctor a chance, but given he's looking to go to high in the draft he might not be available as players at that stage don't like to risk injury until they're drafted and singed that first contract.

To be certain, yes we do.

Would be easier if it was just a simple -/+ for tie breakers

Gives Slovenia and Germany the box seat to matter if we win both remaining games

If we beat Slovenia it'll come down to points difference if they win, plus Georgia will be out essentially. So as long as we win tonight we should be good
