R6: United @ Taipans, Fri Nov. 13

...and then Alex Loughton hits a three to make it 25-16 on the live stats, while in real life Cameron Tragardh gets an and-one for the same scoreline.

This is the same venue that gave Gladness's blocks to random people, or just nobody, in a game last season. Do the live stats people just make up whatever they think sounds nice? Or has there been a mix-up somewhere with a game that just happened to have the same scoring progression?

Trying to find a clip of that Goulding continuation call, so I pulled up the live stats play-by-play and looked for Goulding shooting a pair of free throws.

The first instance was at 22-14 in the first quarter (the clock wasn't on-screen, so I had to use the scoreboard as a time reference), where he went two of two after being fouled by Cam Gliddon to make the score 22-16.

So I pulled up that moment in the game...and Holt was fouled by Bruce at 22-15, and went 1/2 from the line to make it 22-16.

Uh...what?

Until you pointed it out Snooch I'd no idea 'luck' was so important.
United must have lots of it, then? That would explain it.
If there's luck Taipans created theirs.

Hard to believe how little attention Hoops junkies have paid to this game.
All credit to Fearne & co for working out how to tweak the defensive geometry, and to the Taipans for delivering on it.

The LiveStats link http://www.nbl.com.au/livestats/?matchid=139039 doesn't show the game stats on the NBL website. Does anyone have a stats link that works?

It's just a shame Melbourne aren't 8/2

Melbourne looked a bit like a one trick pony.

Jackin up 3's all night.

Was fun in the crowd, bubbles copped it every time he missed, things looked a bit tense in the United camp as scoreboard pressure got to them.

Gliddon kicked Gouldings arse tonight.

Happy for Starks. Takes real character to go from being under the pump to becoming a key part of the Taipans team.

He could have zoned out and accepted his fate but he worked hard, started playing aggressive and his reaping the rewards.

Kind of but not entirely. In other games they've got a lot more open shots and worked the ball movement penetration. Tonight was all off the dribble isolation IMO.

United have played terribly arrogant basketball tonight..lack of respect for the opposition. Chucking up absolutely ridicolously contested threes..not running offense. Expecting it to just happen.

A very stupid bet is the HT tie..but when it comes off its profitable though (but thats hardly ever)

Does anyone else think that the top middle logo on Cairns home court looks like a game of Space Invaders :P

Have to admit that foul to give Goulding 2 FT's late in the first was a very, very ordinary decision, but anyone who trolls here about the NBL not being a defensively competent league is just that, a troll.

Taip's by 6 if they stay confident and focus...
