Sixers are improving dramatically over the last 2 weeks. Even though they lost to the Bullets away there were still strong signs. Joey Wright has done well with the cards he has been dealt compared to opposition clubs but we are still one domestic gun short of being a real contender. Still reckon we’ll finish 4th.

Crook ol’ game in Illawarra tonight...

[Gozu]

Overtime!

LaMelo Ball is really making a believer out of me tonight he's been incredible, youngest player in NBL history to get a triple double and hits a three to send the game into OT.

He is insane, I didn’t think I would enjoy watching him as much as I have. Thought hype was bigger than expectations but he is as good as the hype

Agreed, how he's been playing is about what I expected but I didn't think he had a game in him like tonight it authenticates the hype.

He's going to be a star in the NBA.

Hopefully, Bogut misspelled Corey on purpose or he's dopier than I thought.

“Carey” is his birth name. He chose to go by the name Corey because he used to get the piss taken out him.
Bogut knew exactly what he was doing.

[Brodlach]

I like Bogut!

The Sydney Kings have signed Boomers forward Xavier Cooks to a multi-year deal. The 6'8" forward played in Germany last season and was recently released by his team in France without playing a game due to the injury received just prior to the Boomers campaign at the World Cup. To make room for Cooks on the roster Kuany Kuany has been released.

Also it was officially announced today that Brett Brown has replaced Andrej Lemanis as coach of the Boomers for the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.

LaMelo Ball just became the first player during the 40 minute era to get consecutive triple-doubles, fair achievement that.
