That's great news.

Excellent. Now we can hear him more on One HD .

Is it just me, or, in a Special Comments situation, is it hard to tell him and Andrew Gaze apart in voice?

I can distinguish between the two.

Andrew Gaze is knowledgable and bearable to listen to. Shane Heal is simply verbal diahorrea

In case anyone missed it, Corey 'Homicide' Williams' entertaining interview on Overtime last night:

Quarter Time

Sixers 27
Cairns 15

Best quarter and defence I've seen us play all year.

[CK]

Good start for them. 37-26 with 4.00 in the second quarter.

Cairns just lose a leg on the road but don't count them out in this one. The 36ers second halves have been terrible at times this year and if the Taipans smell blood, they can storm over the top.

[bloods08]

Half Time

Sixers 47
Cairns 33

[CK]

Great stopping job so far on Ayinde Ubaka - four points, two assists, one rebound to halftime.

On the other hand, Adam Ballinger - six rebounds, two assists, two blocks, 12 points.

[bloods08]

Three Quarter Time

Sixers 63
Cairns 48

[CK]

The 36ers cough up the seemingly unloseable game.

A 27-7 final term by the Taipans give them a 75-70 win.

The mental fragility of Adelaide is astonishing at times.

[redandblack]

It's not astonishing, CK.

It's normal.

[bloods08]

I think NO COMMENT would be the best comment at this stage.

[brod]

And I thought the Redbacks had issues

[Brucetiki]

Was thinking of going to the game tonight. Looks like it was $33 well saved.

[Gozu]

Unbelievable.

[CK]

Not sure what else to say about Adelaide after thinking about it for 48 hours. May just stay silent.

Not far from time for the All-Star Five selection, this year's looks a bit easier than usual. Would think something like:

Gary Ervin (Woll)
Ayinde Ubaka (Cairns)
Julian Khazzouh (Sydney)
Kirk Penney (NZ)
Gary Wilkinson (NZ)

Thoughts from the regular NBL fans here?
