Hoops

Tonight: Hawks Vs Crocs

OUCH!

Me thinks he aint gonna be on the flight to Adelaide this weekend.

seems like a stupid arse rule if you ask me. If the technology is there use it. Otherwise everyone would be whining that they should have checked the video replay because they got it wrong. Yes i am aware not all places have it hence why its not allowed in the nbl but common! Make the few stadiums that dont have the access to get it. Or if the stadium hasnt got it then so be it base it on judgement. But if they have it use it. Common sense prevailed last night and i think the refs did a good job to use the technology.

lol anon. If foxtel had the rights still the game wouldnt have even been broadcast. They were pathetic in general. I too like paying for something thats good. But there is a difference between a good deal and getting blindly robbed by foxtel

One must have loved the finish to that game.

Anyone flicking surely must have got into that

If stats are the issue just do what I do. I put live stats on my laptop and check them out any time I want to as I watch the game. This is a great way to spend time when the add breaks are on.

i think the point is we are happy to see the game in general. Foxtel was crap because what good is player stats when you dont even have fox sports you monkey

xztatik - I wouldn't even mind a stats ticker across the bottom all game showing leading scorers, rebounds, assists for each team.

Apart from a lack of stats during the games, the telecasts haven't been too bad so far

Awesome game, some great import guards this season

Looks like Dave Gruber is done for the game before it even started.

Pretty sure I heard Gaze and the sideline guy (dunno his name) say that he twisted his ankle during warm ups... Sounds like he won't be appearing in tonight's game

Game Time!

on a side note, Daryl Corletto's buzzer beater from half court made the Sports Tonight 'Plays of the Week' but no appearance from Winder for the block or the jam on Robbins...

sticking to my guns..Go the Hawks!

Clarky your analysis is making me rethink my tip.

I'm leaning towards the Crocs in this game.

As good as Wollongong are at home, I think the loss of Tragardh is going to hurt the Hawks more then people realise. With the Size the Crocs have, and the ability to use Schenshcer, Hinder and Allen around the ring I think the Hawks will struggle to contain the offense that the Crocs bigs provide.
In saying that, the Hawks are by no means short of firepower, with Ervin absolutely tearing up the Blaze last game, the veteran savvy of Saville and Campbell, The 3pt shooting of Forman and the ability of coach Gordie McLeod to get the best out of players like Demos, Jackson and Coenraad.

I think the game will be close for the most part, but the inside presence of the Crocs along with their ability to get hot and hit the 3 will lead them to a win.

Crocs by 7 for me.

Damn i hate this! still got time to change my tip but i feel like this one is on the fence at the moment.

Crocs by 3...

I hope it comes true. i had a shocking tips week last round so im hoping to redeem myself this time around. i got NZ right (i was sweating in the third though) lets hope hawks can do it. The only tip that im worried about is townsville vs blaze on the goldie, not sure if townsville will lose both but then again perth just have.

Im going to have to agree SRT070, Hawks by 8
