36ers vs Gold Coast Blaze - Tonight 7PM

Phil's final play wasnt so terrible, the problem was where they started the lineup for the inbounds, should have been further away from the inbounds.

Especially since the play was copeland up front, maher 2nd (first to run) curl cut and pop out other side all the while looking to recieve. Ng to go second with a curl cut and lastly if that dosnt work copeland who was first in line to recieve inbounds.

Maher Curled and was well defended but his cut wasnt so good. Ng than went at the right time got the inbounds and past his man, but was quite obvious didnt know how close Hawkins was.

If the lineup was set in a better position Hawkins wouldnt have been so close behind Ng and we ould all be praising a well run play that may or may not have gone in.

Still shocking to blow THAT lead!

I don't understand how people think chappell will come good. He is basically a jump shooter who can't really shoot. He is too slow, can't beat his man off the dribble, can't create his own shot, can't finish at the rim and seems to have terrible hands. He offers absolutely nothing this team needs and should've been out the door weeks ago. I see no chance in hell that he will get any better and sure hope he isn't given the chance.

My understanding of the last 16 seconds was that Ng was to get the ball and take the 3 point shot. The opposition would have prepared to tackle Maher if he was left to take the final shot because Maher would have been the obvious choice. Instead, Maher was used as a decoy to give Ng an open run to the basket. What I couldn't work out is why everyone was crowded together instead of being spread out. If they had been spread out, Maher would have attracted all the attention of the opposition and Ng would have had a free run.

Yea, Chappell is a interesting one, like he wasnt that bad but also wasnt great and didnt dominate like we need him to but it was definate improvement from the last game i saw him play against the Dragons. I personally think he will come good, but given our record we sort of need him in full flight now.
I thought Hawkins was great, he did all the little things and slipped under the radar a bit, Crowe also was pretty good i thought. Maher and Ballinger the 36ers best, unfortunatly it looks like it will be very tough to get back to the play offs now.
