A year ago, almost to the day, Patty Mills had had enough of his Australian teammates simply wondering about their prospects at the Rio Olympics. Cheap Air Jordan 1 China Wholesale .He stood up and said `No, were going to go and get the gold medal, recalled coach Andrej Lemanis.It really gave us that sharp edge and focus to say Hell yeah, we are good enough to do it.His message went global on Wednesday after the Boomers crushed basketball heavyweights Lithuania 90-64 in the quarter-finals.They are now just one win away from playing for gold.They will face Serbia in the semi-finals on Friday night (0800 AEST Saturday).The Boomers enjoyed a 95-80 victory over the Serbs in the group stage.Even if Australia lose, they will still get a crack at a maiden Olympic medal.Not since the Sydney 2000 Games have they advanced to the last four.There, just like four years earlier in Atlanta, they finished fourth after losing to Lithuania in the play-off for bronze.But that wont cut it in 2016.We established our goal very early on, said Mills, who finished with a game-high 24 points.Its special to be involved in a unique group that is hungry and eager to achieve something that no Australian team has before.It means more than what you can imagine.Not even a physical Lithuania, ranked third in the world, could rattle a calm and measured Australia - who have dropped just one of six games, to the formidable United States.Mills and fellow NBA championship winner Matthew Dellavdova (15 points) laid the foundation at Carioca Arena 1, outscoring the entire Lithuanian team in the first half for a 48-30 lead.There was no let-up in the second, as Aron Baynes (16 points, five rebounds) entertained the small but vocal contingent of Australian fans with a handful of dunks.Andrew Bogut chipped in six points, but had seven rebounds and six assists.The Boomers led by as much as 30 points late in the game, even with Dellavedova on the bench getting treatment for a minor cork.It just reflects the collective will of this group to come here and do something special, said Lemanis.But we wont get over-excited by this win.Were happy that we progressed but we havent achieved our goal and its now about getting our minds back to business.Former NBA forward Cameron Bairstow didnt play and is unlikely to for the rest of the Games after dislocating his shoulder in their last group match against Venezuela. Cheap Air Jordan 3 China Wholesale .Y. -- Buffalo Bills coach Doug Marrone has drawn on his Syracuse connections once again by hiring Rob Moore to take over as receivers coach. Cheap Air Jordan .  The 19-year-old Olsen played 34 games with the Kelowna Rockets of the WHL this season.

Halladay signed a one-day contract with the Toronto Blue Jays on Monday that allowed the veteran right-hander to retire as a member of team with which he broke into the majors and spent the bulk of his distinguished 16-year career. MINNEAPOLIS -- The Detroit Tigers will go for the three-game sweep of the Minnesota Twins when the teams play at Target Field on Thursday afternoon.Detroit owns a 9-2 record against Minnesota this season and has won three-straight games overall. The Twins, after a solid stretch of play in July and into early August have lost their last six dating back to last Thursday against Kansas City.The Tigers have gotten plenty of offense in the series thus far, scoring eight runs in the opener on Tuesday before posting nine runs in Wednesdays 9-4 victory.All nine runs came with two outs, something that has been a bugaboo of the Twins virtually all season. The 287 runs allowed by Minnesota with two outs are by far the most in baseball, more than 20 ahead of Arizona, which is second.Its kind of painful, said Twins manager Paul Molitor. A lot of opportunities to try and get off the field and it just wasnt happening.The main culprits on Wednesday were Tigers sluggers Miguel Cabrera and Justin Upton. Cabrera finished with four hits, including his team-leading 28th home run, and finished a triple short of the cycle.Upton has been red hot since returning to the lineup, posting his fourth-straight two hit effort. He also homered, marking the third time in four games that he has hit a three-run blast.He lengthens the lineup and hes got power as we saw tonight. He can hit the ball as far as anyone in the lineup, said Tigers manager Brad Ausmus. We just want to keep him rolling.Upton, in his first regular appearances against American League pitching, has found things to be challenging in his first year in Detroit. TThat hasnt applied to Twins hurlers or at Target Field, where Upton has 11 hits in 21 at-bats in four games at the park. Wholesale Authentic Jordans. After a recent 1-for-31 stretch at the plate, Ausmus gave Upton a few days on the bench to help clear his head. So far, the results are encouraging.Sometimes thats needed, Upton said. A little break, but Im back at it now. My timing is better. And Im seeing some pitches.Thursdays game will feature a pair of young pitchers, with Detroit sending left-hander Daniel Norris to the bump against Twins righty Jose Berrios.Norris will be making his eighth start in the Majors this season; in none of the previous seven has he allowed more than three runs. Despite that, Norris hasnt lasted more than 5 1/3 innings in any start and hasnt earned a victory since June 29. Thursdays start will mark the second against the Twins in Norris career; he allowed one run on one hit in 3 2/3 innings last season.Berrios, arguably the top player in the Twins farm system, has found the adjustment to the Majors rough during his rookie season. Hes been blasted in each of his last three outings. In four starts since being recalled from Triple-A Rochester earlier this month, opponents are hitting .329 off Berrios who has a 1-2 record and a 8.47 ERA.The right-hander will be looking to bounce back from his shortest outing of the season so far against Detroit on May 16, when he allowed seven runs on three hits and four walks in just two-thirds of an inning at Comerica Park.
