36ers vs Japan in NT

Gibbo playing impressive D in the World Cup. Could give Damien Martin a nudge for DPOY.

DQ had trained hard all week and then played against Geelong getting smashed around on the floor on Sunday.. So to then fly wherever, train? and then play on the Wednesday I'd say is a fair strain on the body. He'll be fine during the season. Just with SEABL finals they've been absolutely flogged with physical time and no doubt are a little tired

Cool, thanks for the info about the game Devo, greatly appreciated,

good to hear some positive talk about the 6ers, i cant wait for the season to start!!

Teys ran the floor for much of the night.
Really missed a starting guard.
Mitch played mostly SF and was penetrating well.
Pull up jump shot also worked.
Montreal only had a small amout of time after being treated.
Was back on the floor with a physio and then sat on the bench.
Looked good in the shoot around hitting from outside often.
Had a dunk competition with Mitch in the warm up and held his own.
Peach travelled but hasn't suited yet.
They missed him tonight.
We'll see how they fare on Thursday.

good to hear Montreal and the team were looking good.

Im also optimistic about this team, i dont think we have downgraded as much as people think.

What position did Creek play?? SF?? PF?? I reckon him and Montreal would be fairly interchangable in the sf/pf spots wouldnt they??

I reckon a 8 man rotation of

Petrie
Creek
Montreal
Gibson
Wilson

Schenscher
Teys
Crawford

is pretty good and competitive with most teams in the league.

He's looked ok and has good reach.
I'd say he's had limited time to prepare for today.
Add Peach and BJ to stiffen up the back court
And for the money spent they should be good.
Very impressed with Mitch. His numbers match
his on court efforts. I'd say Teys relegated to the
bench on hat I've seen.
Add a couple of seasoned guards and we'll compete.
Already renewed my season tickets a dim quietly
optimistic.

A scrappy 89-84 win without bigs in the end.

Devo, how has Montreal looked in his minutes? not a huge stat line, he only played a few seconds in the 4th quarter is he ok?

Up 86-75 with 3 to go.
Matt Lycett has done ok with his minutes.

Montreal back on.

65-61 at 3/4.
Pretty sloppy but the Japanese are hitting
their shots. We don't have a true big on and
they're taking advantage.
Sam Johns has done some heady stuff.
Best Dev player we've had for a while.
Very versatile.

Upper part of the leg.
Physio spent time and he's walking.
Getting sloppy on court.
6ers up 60-50. We'd be looking pretty
Ordinary without Mitch.

Montreal has just gone down.
Hope it's just cramp.
He was stretching the calf at half time.

36ers up 51-40 at the half.
Mitch is looking sharp.
Montreal should be better with another
couple of days under his belt but looking ok.
Has some reach.
