Olympics Basketball - Australia v Iran

I would say i am quite confident for this one.Both teams count to negative results in two games.Iran defeated by Russia 71-47 and by Lithuania 99-67.Australia on the other hand lost from Croatia 97-82 and from Argentina 68-85.Iranians in general have problem in scoring,not having reliable shooters and so talented players.Australia's defense was really bad at the first games but against them they found two incredibly capable teams from the three-point line.Croatia shooted 12/16 3-pointers and Argentina 11-20.I do not see Iran scoring at these stats with no way.The Asian team will also have problem to score against the big guys who after all are the main weapon of Australia.My prediction Iran no more than 65 points,maybe around 60.Now for Australia who is waiting for the game vs Russia to take something good from this tournament my prediction is 85-90 points.Australia lacks of great shooters and they use to play with the big guys,Bogut,Nielsen and Andersen.It would be very difficult to reach a high score without great shooting.I see a game more like the first one between Iran and Russia here.
