2013/14 NBL Season + Off-season news/Boomers

[Brodlach]

Maybe early because of Sochi games?

[Johno6]

would it be live then? or pretty close to live

[Gozu]

Yep tonight's Townsville/Perth game is now being shown on One at 8pm!

36ers flogged by the Hawks today

36ers flogged by the Hawks today

Was a pathetic performance really. To have the bottom of the ladder team put up 60 on you in the first half alone and then lose to them by 20+ is really concerning.

[Johno6]

Bottom two sides beat the top two sides this weekend.

Crazy

Round 17 results:

Townsville 88 (Markovic 22, Pace 17, Conklin 16, Blanchfield 14) def Perth 75 (Wagstaff 24, Ennis 15, Beal 11)

Sydney 98 (Madgen 20, Young 20, Garlepp 18, Carmouche 13, Harvey 12, Ogilvy 11) def New Zealand 96 (Wilkinson 33, Johnson 18, Abercrombie 12, Corletto 10)

Townsville 90 (Markovic 24, Conklin 15, Pace 15, Norton 13, Blanchfield 11) def Cairns 82 (McCamey 17, Weigh 12, Gliddon 11, Loughton 11, Wilson 11, Burston 10)

Wollongong 102 (Clarke 18, Tiggs 17, Coenraad 14, Davidson 14, Demos 13, Gruber 12) def Adelaide 80 (Gibson 21, Johnson 19, Creek 18)

[Brodlach]

The 36ers have cut Jarrid Frye and Rhys Carter is his replacement

[Gozu]

Bit of a strange thing to do, I would've kept Frye and just started Creek over him and given him the bulk of Frye's minutes.

Rhys Carter is very streaky and is a 6'2"-6'3" combo guard not a small forward.

NBL games coming up on TV this weekend:

Saturday afternoon: Adelaide @ Perth at 2pm (Ten)*

Sunday afternoon: Adelaide @ Melbourne at 2pm (Ten)

*Game being played Friday night but shown the next day due to Winter Olympics

[Jim05]

Back to back hidings for the sixers. 24 points in the first half is unacceptable

[Johno6]

Great win last night. Pew pew.

[Johno6]

Also watch the fight at te end. Meant to be pretty full on

Punched thrown by wright. Ennis. Pushing and shoving.

Interesting to see what penalties happen.

Come on a Perth v adel final.

[Gozu]

It looked to me like Ennis started it but regardless you can't have the coach going in there shoving players around and one of our players trying to restrain him, poor form by Joey Wright. The NBL have already announced an investigation in to it, didn't look great.

The 36ers would want to hope they put in a much better performance in Melbourne tomorrow.

[Brodlach]

36ers beat the Tigers 99-82

Better performance but the defence is still lacking IMO

[Jim05]

Good turnaround by the sixers.

[Gozu]

Very good turnaround if you're a serious team. Even better as a loss would've seen the Sixers drop to 3rd on the ladder behind the Tigers, we stay 2nd and currently have the season split on them 2-1.

Round 18 results:

New Zealand 96 (Wilkinson 22, Abercrombie 21, Johnson 12, Webster 11) def Cairns 78 (Loughton 15, Gliddon 13, Weigh 13, McCamey 11)

Adelaide 99 (Ervin 25, Johnson 24, Gibson 14, Petrie 12, Schenscher 10) def Melbourne 82 (Farrakhan 19, Morrison 15, Goulding 14, Worthington 13, Greer 12)

[Gozu]

James Ennis has had his attempted striking charge dropped expect Joey Wright to get a slap on the wrist.

[Gozu]

In a blow for the Sydney Kings playoff hopes import Charles Carmouche has returned to the US immediately due to personal reasons and the
Kings are looking at their options.
