Congratulations to Penny Taylor and Diana Taurasi

All that should matter is this baby will be loved, it’s wonderful news for both of them

Not sure of the rules in America but in Australia two females can be listed as the parents on the birth certificate with no mention of a father.
I would say they would have used sperm donor or if rumors are true could be DT egg with PT brothers sperm who knows either way happy for them.
Will atleast have two amazing bbal talents to coach them should they want to play for either country.

How are they going to decide if he should be on the dream team or the boomers?

Congrats to Penny & Diana!
Now that the boy/girl question has been answered, there's one more big one ahead of him: aussie or yank? USA seems to be in the box seat for that :/

#676104 how is that relevant?


And back to the actual topic, congrats! Reckon that might be a dream team baby there!

How are they going to decide if he should be on the dream team or the boomers?

Here we are, the 10:30pm replay of NBL attendances for Round 8. Sorry for the inconvenience but I'm reliably informed the replay will now be shown at 1am.

Breakers v Crocs - 4,571 @ VE (38%)
Tigers v Kings - 3,189 @ SNC (91%)
36ers v Blaze - 4,708 @ AA (59%)
Wildcats v Kings - 4,000 (approx) @ CS (89%)

You'd normally look at a game that only fills 38% of the venue as a failure but 4,571 isn't bad IMO. Not when you remember that with that size crowd the Breakers regular NSEC would have been over filled at 111% capacity.

Good to see the Tigers are still pulling over 3,000 to games at home now that Patty Mills is gone. Still, with the Tigers in the form they have been and also having the smallest NBL venue you'd think they'd be able to get 3,500 to home games. Although from what I continually read it might have more to do with where the SNC is located rather than any lack of genuine fan support for the Tigers.

Considering we won last time out at home AND they were presenting the 1986 Championship team to the crowd (with a minimal amount of effort put into that by the 36ers IMO) I was surprised we didn't get a crowd of at least 5K on Saturday night. The upper section was almost a ghost town compared to the bowl. Still, we once again saw the biggest crowd of the round here in Adelaide and 4,708 is nothing to sneeze at. Some teams don't get close to that when they win and we're losing.....

Once again another good home crowd for the Wildcats. Kinda surprising that the league leaders aren't selling out their 4,500 seat venue right now but they still haven't fallen below 4,000 for the year. But it makes me wonder the wisdom of the Wildcats planned move to the new Perth Arena when its scheduled to open in 2014. If they can't sellout Challenge Stadium then how are they going to fare in a 14,000 seat arena once the novelty of the new place wears off? (though people said that about the Powerhouse when it opened in 1992 and it took what, 10 or so years before crowds started dropping off capacity?)

So there you have it. Four NBL games in 3 days attracting 16,468 at an average of 4117 per game.
