Sixers vs Tigers, Dec 5

With Hodge on 4 fouls and his emotions out of control - why didn't the Sixers take it to him? The 5th foul was there for the taking.
Worthington is the best Aussie in the NBL.
Saturday nights refs must come from from Mars or Melbourne.

I think you'll find he was on court at the end of the game to hand out the little balls the players throw into the crowd.

IMO Ben didn't run on the court with the intention to confront Hodge, he would have already been on court.

A link for those who missed last night's post game antics of Julius Hodge.

Isaac it also shows the Ng "foul" in the last second.

That's exactly what I suggested (jokingly) during that delay. Oh well, wishful thinking.

Isaac, what are your thoughts on the last second of play when Ng attempted a desperate 3 point shot to take the game to a second overtime? Since posting my previous commnent, I had the luxury of seeing a replay of that moment on the news tonight. Darren was tackled to the ground by several Tigers players. There would have had be some pushing there. Was a foul not warranted and a visit to the foul line for 3 shots? There was another 1 second on the clock and therefore the game had not ended.

Could this be a turning point for both teams?
Certainly for Melbourne it is, but what about Sixers. Can they recover?
Have they been over achieving and settling into their rightful place, just out of the 4.

Again, totally agree with X. Was painfull as all hell.

Refs destroyed the best game of the year. Not even worth mentioning it - beyond pathetic.

Jack Toft "We choked tonight and lost the game. The Tiggers did not win it, we lost it."

Yep.

We choked tonight and lost the game. The Tiggers did not win it, we lost it.



PS Liked the Tigger into Skip!

I love Scotty and respect him to death, but... enough. Dribble penetration doesn't work. Shot selection pathetic. Ball rotation crap. Subs questionable. C'mon man.

I hate saying it, but +1 to Skud.

Love the guy, but if Bev was coaching, we'd be miles ahead.

1. Refs were PATHETIC.
2. Sixers blew it in the clutch. Again.
3. Hodge deserves his face through a plate glass window.

Sixers should have sewn it up in regulation!
Momentum with Tigers at end of reg. and into OT.
Shocking OT performance.......
Way too many 3's that of course miss in the pressure of it all.
Given the Tigers the leg up they have been waiting for.
So demoralising for team and fans and other teams that would have wanted to see Tigers on their knees ................

Then he stomped on Brett Maher's signature.

YEAH TIGERS!!!
Good come back game Nate!

Good build up to a play off atmosphere - everyone's caught up in the drama,intruige,excitement and quality of the game - except FOX.

Stats are back on sixers 57-55 8.30 left in 4th

Stats frozen for me too. Stream going great guns though!!! :)

Anyone get the weekly times Messenger, I heard on page 2 there is a big write up. I don't get it, just wondering what is in it?

"He's not the Messiah, he's a very naughty boy"

Often the hardest games to win are the ones you are supposed to!
This puts extra pressure on Sixers, never mind the Hodge thing.
If you can hold up defensively, DENY PENETRATION and stop Worthington from getting 20+ your guys should hang on.
Melbourne have everthing top lay for.
Sixers have everthing to lose.

Who is bringing the rubber cheque?
