Hawks vs Taipans, Dec 9
Somehow he was only credited with one steal last night. I can vividly remember at least three.
- The steal for dunk
That's the steal he was credited with.
- One in front of Cairns bench, but then threw a cross court pass which resulted in a TO. It was still a steal though.He had the ball for a split second. 50-50 whether that was a steal or not, they probably decided it was better to just leave it than give him a steal and a turnover.
- An intercept/deflection theft.
I don't recall seeing anything like that.
- Also recall a superman dive on a loose to steal possession. Does that count?That was a rebound, Cairns never secured the ball after it hit the rim.
He did get one off Stephen Weigh in the third, which was given to Penney because Penney was guarding Weigh when Weigh lost control of the ball. Presumably they thought Penney deflected it. Not sure it should've been a steal to Ogilvy anyway, Weigh had pretty much already lost it when Ogilvy first touched it.
Ogilvy knocked the ball away from Starks, before Lisch dived on it and Starks dived on Lisch to be called for the foul, and somehow Lisch got credited for the steal there.

It's not even half way through the season.The halfway point for the league as a whole was during this past round, and Adelaide have played 15 of 28 games. Illawarra and Cairns have both played 14 of 28. There is no measure by which your statement is true.

Anyone else from cairns remember TC trying the same 'running over the back of people's chairs' trick back in an August preseason game?

Damn, what happened to Loughton? He was a top shelf player in the league a few players but he struggles to even make a basket now
Looks massively out of sync.



The Hawks are killing the Taipans on mis-matches. Starks on Penney one possession, Loughton on Penney, saw Starks on Forman a few possessions, Weigh on Lisch etc.
Have no idea what is happening there..

^ you sound a lot like the resident conspiracy theorist nut case called 'Rostos' from a gambling forum I visit sometimes.

Massive danger game for the Hawks. They are the better team with more MVPs than Porsche SUVs in the carpark of a private school.
It's their chance to open a gap between them and the Sixers so that's extra pressure they won't want. Sixers fan will be going for the snakes to get up.
Taipans are no pushovers but are better at home than away. This game is the Hawks to lose and if they do it's no use crying over spilt beer.
Hawks by 9
