Half-time

36ers 67
Hawks 42

Incredible scoring performance

[Brodlach]

Really like the way they spread the scoring

Great first half

[Gozu]

3QT

36ers 96
Hawks 61

This is one of the most impressive games I've ever seen from the Sixers.

[Gozu]

Final

36ers 117
Hawks 85

That's how you bounce back from a big loss

[Brodlach]

Larkins even got a run and a steal. Should have had a shot rather than the dish off

[Gozu]

The NZ Breakers have announced they've signed a new import in Kevin Dillard a 6'0" PG for the rest of the season as a replacement for David Stockton who has an ongoing back injury. Dillard has played three seasons in Europe most recently in Turkey earlier this season and will make his debut for the club in tomorrow's home game against the 36ers.

Good first quarter in Auckland.
NZ 20 Adelaide 31

[Spargo]

Sixers lead 69-43 in the 3rd, to be honest the Breakers are pretty shit.

[Brodlach]

Only 12 points now

Refs are always over tough on Jacobson IMO. Week in week out he gets called for crap fouls

[RB]

The Sixers have been racking up some big scores this season. You'd think they were back to twelve-minute quarters.

[Wedgie]

113-95

Never looked like losing.

[Brodlach]

The women's team won both their games this week, their first wins and today was against the top team

[LaughingKookaburra]

They are just well drilled! If they beat Melbourne Thursday and they pretty much go 4 games top.

What a turn around from 10 weeks ago when that clown from Brisbane mocked them and Joey Wright and since then fortunes have completely changed. Still want to see how the Sixers handle finals like pressure being such a young team. One thing in their favour the teams they play aren't really synced from years of playing together.

[Gozu]

I'm just beyond impressed with this team and what Joey Wright has done with them. Most of the bookies had us finishing second to bottom, I had them bottom and 3/4 of the way into the season and we're not only top of the ladder which is one thing but the hunger, enthusiasm and enjoyment this group plays with is a joy to watch. The way they seem to enjoy each others success cheering each other on they play as such a unit. It's not just Randle, Sobey and DJ they all do what they can and play their roles for the benefit of the team.

I don't think I've ever been prouder of a 36ers team.

[LaughingKookaburra]

Yeah they are clinical with their shooting and they rarely miss from anywhere in the vicinity of the key. You can see why they charge up the floor with possession all game every game and ask questions of the defence. The consistency with the way they put opposition teams in foul trouble shows how much they control games. They are incredibly well coached right now and their focus is so strong. When things do not go their way they don't carry on ect they huddle and pull each other's heads in. No other team in the comp does that.

[Jim05]

As good as we have been I'm not getting too far ahead just yet. Was only a week ago Melbourne flogged us by 31 and we looked shocking.

With gastro going through the team, Sobey in hospital the morning of the game. United were playing out of their skins too

[Purple Warrior]

Here come Perth

[Gozu]

Here come Perth

Wildcats up to 2nd on the ladder now makes the 36ers game in Perth this Saturday night even more mouth watering.

Hopefully this time the refs don't decide the game with a rubbish call again.
