Tigers v Cats

Majok only had a 2 month contract (that was the length from memory) in the Turkish 2nd Division with Isikspor which has since expired and not been renewed. Therefore he is not tied to any European team at the present time, and hence why he took the short term contract opportunity at Perth.

Billy scrwed perth last night hard!!! Like him & crouch screwed us in game 3 gf in 93!!! Gaze poofs got there 1st title!!!

Ill be very suprised, if he leaves!!! Just makok 2 Stay!!!!

Spot-on, Moses. Most of the time his antics are gold for the rivalry and for the league, and for that reason alone I was stoked to see him back in the league this season.
My only criticism of this whole episode was the way he handled that post-game interview.
OneHD has basically given this league a new lease on life through its generous multi-year deal, and I strongly believe that it is the obligation of every player & staff member to accommodate them in return (within reason, obviously).

I don't mind Corey giving his twitter a plug, but at least let the girl get through a few questions as well. Players must not snub the tv network that helps pay their salaries! OneHD doesn't spend all this money covering the NBL only to have the rare juicy stuff lost entirely to twitter.

Aside from that though, Homicide was superb, the Tigers as a team continued their improvement, and the Cats got a reality check.

Very much enjoyed the game and made the call at half time that the cats would come back and make a game of it. Mind you i was a bit worried about it at the end of the 3rd!

Your comments on Corey are spot on for me. As arrogant as he is, he's a baller and i cant help but love watching him play. However as soon as he steps onto the floor at the Dome all that goes out the window. I very much admire his ability to trash talk and consistently back it up but the way he treated that female reporter at the end of the game wasnt good enough. I understand his enthusiasm in sticking it to the perth crowd but a little class shown to the reporter would be nice.

all in all a great game to watch for the majority, very glad I continued to watch after 3/4 time!

Great finish to the game.

Devendorf and Williams very good for the Tigers, but I do agree that Nevill is totally underutilised. Nevill could be putting up better than Khazzouh numbers if gien the ball...

And I got on the Tigers and won a tidy sum, plus I picked them to win the the tipping :)

i thought Majok got Completely outplayed tonight...so what if he gets a couple of blocks....he was getting scored on and abused down low all game!

Great game to watch. Tigers Zone was awesome and disrupted Perths offense.

I was at the game toight and Rob Beveridge was out coached tonight. The only time the cats made in road into the lead the tigers had was when Majok or Trueman was on court. Shawn Redhege is not a center Steve Weigh is not a pf any team would dominate those guys in that position. when the Cat made a big run at them Majok was dominating at both ends he was making Luke Nevill look like he shouldnt be there and then was sub out with about 3 min to go of the game but returned a minute later but the damage was done. They wildcats should stop thinking about signing anouther import and sign Majok for the rest of the season caues once this guy finds his feet in this league he will dominate it

Homicide is a out rit prick!!!! Like to see the foul count b4 the 4th!!! Sum 1 was licking billys balls to nyt!! May b Larry n the nbl!!!! Cant take it perth @ good!!!!! Still goin bak 2 bak!!!!

Luke Nevill is a baller, he isn't NBA material but could see why they were interested, has very nice touch around the basket, Majok needs to add leg strength to defend him properly though, not worried about upper body, but his legs need to get thicker and have a wider base. Devendorf and Homicide pair really work well together.

Relentless? Thats me LOL... Like Damian Martin when he sees a ball in someone elses possession!

So no-one has answered my question about the betting plunge on the Tigers tonight. Am I right, did too many pile on the Tigers and they had to suspend betting? Interested to know - or are all you guys betting virgins like me? ;-)

I agree with you anon 303044. Have no sympathy for the Cats on anything to do with reffing. They get away with a LOT of holding and hacking and when teams get annoyed and retaliate, thats when Redhage breaks out his academy award routine. I do like a lot of their players and they are really well coached, but I also dream of the day when refs call a cleaner game.

Yeah, Homicide and Devendorf look like they can be arrogant pricks, but I do like the way Homicide creates a bit of controversy and fires everyone up. Definitely good for the league, though I too prefer to have someone a little classier on my team who is good enough to shut these guys mouths when they come to town! :D Ah, the good ol' days...

What a great finish. Didn't expect it to get that close, but Ater Majok made a huge difference in that last quarter. I hope he stays in the league somehow - he has tremendous athleticism and will make a lot of highlight plays at both ends.

Sixers take note: when you are down big, that is how to finish! Great heart, execution, self belief and shooting from the Cats.

I would DEFINITELY recommend people catch the replay of this game when it is on.

Wildcats are storming home in the 4th after being down by 20+ during the 3rd, and down 17 (i think) at the start of the fourth.

Ok folks..i will give you my view of tonights game, first ..lmao..its a lonely place..im sure there were only 2 of us in the stadium that were 36ers.

I havent seen the stats yet..but our % must have been almost in the negative, our 3pointers were some mysterious shot that apparently the cats could take at will..we on the other hand...could not pay for them.



Our offense lacked ideas..or penetration, even when we made position, we could not put in the basket.

SHOOTING PRACTICE all next week please!

The "team" lacked cohesion..there were some great moments of flipping the ball around good and fast..but again shooting was a disaster.

SHOOTING PRACTICE all next week please!

I thought Coops time on the court was FANTASTIC..worked hard grabbed some good rebounds. again we got hamered on the boards.

In the end it was horible to watch, and believe me..the loval crowd mmade us very well aware of the teams shortcomings, our parentage and the supeiority of the cats

By the way, those people who were willing to chip in to send willie home..perhaps you could chip in to pay for ME to attend the next 36ers-cats game...coz i dont think i want to pay to see that again
