Stars and lesser names fire Boomers

LUC LONGLEY BREAKS DOWN BOOMERS' BIG GUNS:

* PATTY MILLS

"You get him looks (at the basket) and it's money. The shots he's missing are the tough shots at the end of the clock. He's shown that over the years.

"There's no doubt he's a first team point guard or two man somewhere in the NBA. He's just been in a very deep and talented situation at San Antonio.

"He's very potent for us, he makes a lot of room for the big guys by being so potent."

* MATTHEW DELLAVEDOVA

"We've always known he's the real deal. There's no one like Delly I've ever been around. The guy prepares and cares more than anyone I've ever seen and it shows with every possession."

* DAVID ANDERSEN and the influence he can have on a game:

"If they didn't before this tournament hopefully they've seen that now. He's not only been a steady offensive influence, he's been surprisingly good on the glass and deep which is an area coming in that I thought he would struggle with."

* DAMIAN MARTIN:

"It was a great match-up opportunity for Damo. The reason he ended up on the team was when we come up against someone like (Mantas) Kalnietis who dominated the ball so much we could send him out there and he earned his plane ticket in a big way tonight, he was fantastic."
