A heck of a lot to like about Adelaide. Well on track to put down more than 100 against a pretty handy NBA team.

Love Wiley’s energy!

Wiley looks a real find

A bit disappointing that we've clearly run out of legs in the 4th and the Jazz are breaking us down and scoring with ease now.

Final

Jazz 129
36ers 99

Final scoreline not really indicative of the good game it was for 3/4. The team have really done us proud today.

[Brodlach]

Playing 48 minutes instead of our normal 40 minutes too


Mostly a really good effort

Just watching the Perth v Denver game. “ A couple facts about Perth. 2 million population and the average summer temperature is 99 degrees”. Global warming has increased alarmingly in Perth in the last 12 months.

US still use Fahrenheit. 99 degrees is about 37 centigrade so they are correct

I’m not that silly Jim. If Perth averages 37 degrees for 3 months I’ll walk to China. It wouldn’t average over 32 worst case scenario.
