Spoilers - Adelaide v. Brisbane game thread

an all around player who gets everyone involve is far better than a scorer. give me hodge over ebi anyday, jumpshot or not.

yeh and did u not see julius hodge' magnificent play last night "kad"? i mean, 25 points 13 assists, and 12 rebounds? clearly the premier import last night and over the past 2 weeks in the NBL. Ebi Ere has been the best import over the season however last night he didnt seem to do anything else except shoot the open J - which at times were magnificent with those last 2 3 's from over 30 feet out lol ,however he didnt drive and i think ended up wit 1 assist?. SO Hodge was great alst night as with Ballinger, who had a much better game then Dusty.

Yes mainly from open shots outside of the three point line. Seventeen points in the first half and six points in the second when more concerted defensive pressure was applied. On last nights performance Julius Hodge was the premier import if only for the fact that he made his teamates better.

James W, what do you mean by the situation in terms of injury and fatigue was reversed? Throughout these threads there is a distinct oversight about a certain player that we have off injured at the moment, so the injury woes are not reversed. Also, you can hardly call fatigue a reversal when the Bullets have not played since Wednesday and travelled a day ahead for the game tonight. When Adelaide played in Brisbane 2 weeks ago, it was their 3rd game in 3 4 (Mod: ;-])days, they played the night before and travelled the next day to play their game in Brisbane that night. Tonight's win by the 36ers was extra special. They did it against a reasonably rested Bullets team, unlike what they had to endure 2 weeks ago in Brisbane. It was also the same Bullets team that quite comfortably beat the Tigers 3 days earlier on Tiger's territory.

BTW the girl singing the national anthem was good

Filmer did his best to stuff us up again. Is he incompetent or a cheat?

GREAT GAME!

NG is turning into the new prodigal son of the Dome. Ebi's massive 3 at the half was amazing! I expected more of CJ in the 4th but he never really got involved in the 4th and was consiquently subbed. Sixers only had 4 turnovers in the first half, which is very good considering the way they were playing. Bradshaw looked quite early on and I was thinkin he could go for 25+ with his size and athleticism.

Was Julius Hodge's triple the first of the season from any team?

omfg, now that was a excellent game of basketball from our boys, i dont thin ballinger was carrying an injury, they just subbed him off with 4 mins to go beacuse we are playing tommorow night and the boys need to be rested well. Omg im excited. And i get to see the replay tommorow morning on channel 9!!!!!!! ahhaha omg still cannot believe it, seriusly i told my mate just before coming into the domw that we were probably gna lose by 10 + pts. Sweet revenge after tehy gave us our worst loss in our proud history!!!!!
