Best NBL games you've ever seen?

It is if it's enough to be noticeable. It just normally takes several seconds running off for that to be the case without the buzzer going off to alert everyone.

I was curious about the rule regarding when the clock started, as discussed above, a while back so I looked it up and I'm pretty sure that the rule states that either there's time on the clock or it was a foul. Can't be both.

"These days with video review you can go back and put time on the clock but they didn't have that luxury back in 2001."
You don't need video review to put time back on the clock, you just need to decide that there should be more time on the clock. I can remember it happening several times in other games.

If they weren't going to put time on the clock, Lowery shouldn't have got free throws.

Wabbit is spot on. That game was ridiculous, the atmosphere was intense and it was so loud. I ran around the concourse giving high fives to anyone and everyone right after the 4th qtr ended. Got back to where my mates were standing, and proceeded to pass out for a couple of minutes. Woke up to the fact that OT had started and I was missing a couple of minutes. Wild night!

A couple of games not mentioned, but:

Brett Maher's last game. What a ripper. Stadium was louder than Pete Walsh's shirts. The 3 made by Brett was amazing.

Not a high quality game, but the "Hodge Stomp" game was probably the most memorable.

Ron Dorsey hitting the 3 to send GF into overtime about 4 yrs ago was a beauty to watch live against NZ. Of course CJ was dropping daggers down the stretch also as he does!!

There was another reg season game against NZ about 6 yrs ago where it went to 2OT & Cattalini finished with 40 + & CJ had high 30's. Big shot after big shot & fantastic stuff. Cairns got the win!! Gonna miss CJ Bruton in this league - special player. Cat on his night in his peak was also worth the entry fee!

I remember on this night we ended up at crown casino & Daryl Braithwaite was singing 'horses' live & we were all that pumped we went straight to the dance floor.

Hoping Taipans can keep those moments coming...

Regarding the Lowery free-throw discussion, the clock starts when a player touches the ball, not when it leaves the shooter's hand or when it hits the rim. If the players had been allowed to line up, it would have gone to OT.

Given that they weren't, clearly the game was over and the Sixers won.

Have to agree with anon about the great Lowery Swindle game and with Wabbit about the '94 GF. Both great games in Sixers history.

One thing I've always wondered about the Lowery game was that there was like 0.3 of a sec left or something and his last FT bobbled around the rim. Doesn't the clock start once the ball leaves the shooter's hand? If so, and time expires after the shot, but before it goes through the net, does the shot count?!?!

Prob the last game at the old Snake Pit in Wollongong vs Townsville, came from behind to win and people threw dummies at Rucker from memory.

Maybe not the best but it was my 1st NBL game I attended. Blaze vs Crocs at the Gold Coast. The Blaze came back and brought it to overtime and then went on to win.

Abercrombie when he went to Adelaide that time a few seasons ago and threw down the most insane dunks. Youtube it

I have a sweet spot for that game against the Crocs last season that required Knight to hit a late three to seal. It's one thing to see players doing what they do best to win a game, quite another to see players go way outside their comfort zone to do so.

Oh come on.. That was a foul ;) He did the Reggie Miller leg kick move!
