Bullets vs Hawks, Fri 3rd Nov

Kickert is as soft as a marshmallow and his lack of intensity drives me crazy watching him, he simply doesn't rebound but outside of being an outstanding shooter, his bag of tricks in the post even impresses me and you can tell I'm not his biggest fan.

I know this is a forum about Bullets vs Hawks but have we just read more about Bubbles than what eventuated in the game?

Gussie,

Kickert is greatly ineffective in the post when his defender forces him to use his left hand. He is not strong enough on his non-preferred side to be a go to option in the post

The Bairstow injury has really screwed the Bullets two years running.

Do you think the Brisbane coach should be the boomers coach.

Sorry angus not luke. Always have luke kendle on the brain haha

About percentage luke

What was with that last second shot from Rhys Martin...

Both are about as good as each other on the other end though...

Tai is close, but I give the edge to Kickert because he is better going away from the basket than Tai.

I think Tai Wesley's got him covered in the post.

Ever seen Kickert in the post (offensively... at least)? One of the best in the league. Maybe THE best in the league. Spends way too much time outside the arc, especially with guys like Trice and Holt who can knock down the 3.

Martin having his best game in recent memory offensively for the Hawks.

Kinda glad the Hawks are going to get this W, maybe they wont be quite as hungry in Sydney on Sunday...

It's hard to readjust after your last game when you played United who let you do everything with ease offensively. That's what Brisbane are finding.

I'm reluctant to say either Illawarra or Melbourne is back on track after one game (or one half, for the Hawks). Shots are/were dropping, and that seems to be the one big difference.

Goulding is a very good player. Having a slow start after a serious interruption was always on the cards. Maybe have a word to the idiots talking about him being not worthy of starting rather than the person who thought it was likely he would revert back to his usual self after a few weeks.

trisbane's first half effort punctuated by Terrible defence and offensive sets that lead to few easy baskets, let alone open looks.

Not to mention it's practically 4 on 5 when Te Rangi is on court.

A player or team has ONE good game in the first month and those who called them out get called out? Yeah ok.

Bullets should be force feeding Kickert in the post.

Chris Goulding, The Illawarra Hawks, ... who else have the Chicken Little brigade written off in the last week?

They're looking more like the Illawarra I expected this season....

So many fouls on jump shots this season

One on Jervis (Forman) and one on AJ (Buford) there

Rocked up to ABL GF - 10 minutes earlier than scheduled 6:15 start time. Stood in line for 15 mimutes so far! Poorly organised situation. Why did some poor bastard only come outside 5 minutes ago to tell punters there were two lines! Grr!
