RIO DE JANEIRO -- Down Under is on top in Olympic mens basketball.Now Australia is looking forward to its shot at the U.S. for the chance to stay there.Were going out there to win a game, forward Joe Ingles said. I think weve got a team that is focused on that and we believe we can do some special things in this tournament.Australia became the first team to start 2-0 here by pulling away to beat Serbia 95-80 on Monday. Patty Mills scored 26 points and Matthew Dellavedova had 23 points and 13 assists for the Australians, who have opened the Olympics by beating France and Serbia, two of the top-six teams in the world.The Aussies play the top-ranked Americans on Wednesday.We havent done anything we didnt expect to do. These are the goals we set, center Andrew Bogut said.Were not happy being 2-0. We want to continue on and go to the medal rounds.The Australians have a team built to do it. They have big bodies inside with Bogut and Aron Baynes, plenty of playmaking with Mills and Dellavedova, and something more that cant be measured on a stat sheet.I think the belief within our group is something that I dont know if weve ever had before, Mills said.The U.S. blew Australia out in the quarterfinals of the last two Olympics, part of a disappointing recent history for a team that finished fourth in consecutive Olympics in 1996 and 2000. The Australians have never won an Olympic medal in mens basketball, part of the reason they werent looked at as a top contender here.We havent done (anything) the last 20 or 30 years of basketball and we still havent done anything, so we got a lot to do, Bogut said. But the guys who write stories about that, predictions and all that, God bless them because its a tough job at times. But were really not buying in to that too much.Australia felt it had the potential for its best team ever this year, even with No. 1 draft pick Ben Simmons opting not to play and Dante Exum, Ingles teammate with the Utah Jazz, unable to make it back from a torn knee ligament.The Aussies still have an experienced team, with Mills, Bogut, Dellavedova and Baynes all winning NBA championships.So they obviously know how to play at this level, Serbia coach Sasha Djordjevic said.Now the Aussies want more.We set a goal to win a gold medal and thats what were here to do, Ingles said. We obviously know how hard that is, its obviously not an easy task. Weve been preparing for this for a long time, but we believe we have a team that can do something special.---Follow Brian Mahoney on Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/Briancmahoney Vapormax 2019 Bleached Coral . -- Ty Montgomery had 290 all-purpose yards and two touchdowns, and fifth-ranked Stanford held on to beat No. Vapormax 2019 Cheap .Y. - Detroit goaltender Jonas Gustavsson has earned NHL first star of the week honours after winning in his first three appearances of the season. http://www.vapormaxcheapoutlet.com/vapormax-flyknit-3.html . 10 Texas Rangers jersey for one last time.

The Oilers come in having lost five in a row (0-4-1) and 16 of their last 20 games, dropping a 2-1 decision to the Vancouver Canucks on Tuesday. Vapormax Flyknit 3 White Silver . - After leading the Saints to a fourth playoff appearance in five seasons, Drew Brees expressed confidence in the direction of his team and, perhaps more importantly, showed a willingness to listen to contract proposals if the team needs his help getting under the NFLs salary cap. New York Jets guard Brian Winters delivered an illegal head-butt Sunday that proved costly on two levels.Not only was he knocked out of the game with a concussion, an injury that will sideline him Sunday against the Pittsburgh Steelers, but Winters also received a $24,309 fine from the NFL, a source said Friday.Technically, he was fined for unnecessary roughness.Running alongside Seattle Seahawks defensive end Michael Bennett, Winters leaned into Bennett and head-butted him, resulting in a personal foul.Dazed, Winters dropped to one knee and left the game. He got up slowly on the previous play as well, but its not clear if that contributed to his concussion.Bennett,, who later called Winters act a dirty play, was furious and had to be restrained.ddddddddddddThe play was over. He came and hit me in my head, he told reporters. I got three daughters. I love playing with them. I dont want this to be the last thing I do.Bennett might have retaliated later in the game, blocking center Nick Mangold from behind on an interception return. Mangold called it a dirty cheap shot, but Bennett wasnt fined.Without Winters in the lineup, the Jets are planning to rotate?Brent Qvale and Dakota Dozier?at right guard. ' ' '
