That they did, 'won' it in the final game of the season.

With the 36ers going backwards under Marty Clarke this season (2nd to bottom-wooden spoon) the club need to do the right thing and sack him. The real worry is with another year to go on his contract due to finances might keep him going next season but the fans deserve better than that.

You only need look at the top scorer's list from the last round of games - Forman, Hill, Rychart & Burston. Have all been a past player at some stage and would make a massive difference to our win/loss ratio, but playing elsewhere because our franchise is crap. :roll:

Talk in NZ that Game 1 of their SF tonight against the Crocs could sell out the nearly 10,000 capacity Vector Arena in Auckland and if so would be the largest ever crowd to watch a basketball game in NZ.

Just finished watching the game, massive upset by the Crocs in front of a huge crowd in Auckland. Townsville now can wrap up the series at home on Thursday night but need to keep in mind the Breakers dropped Game 1 of their SF series to Perth at home last season too and obviously went on to win the series.

Game 1

Townsville 99 (Crawford 26, Gill 21, Mims 13, Holmes 12) def New Zealand 82 (Abercrombie 20, Wilkinson 19, Jackson 15)

Crocs lead the series 1-0

In other news at the Sydney Kings awards night tonight the team announced they've re-signed Shane Heal as coach to a two-year deal. Also Julian Khazzouh won the Kings team MVP award and the Player's player award. Anatoly Bose won the Most Inspirational Player award and Jerai Grant won the Best Defensive Player award.
