Day 3 - NBL Blitz

^^ he would have fit right in then

Enjoy Drimic. He was trouble at Dandenong.

Adelaide don't just get into the keyway but get right under the basket as shot charts show. when you see the fta stats way out of whack, have a look at 3pt attempts and you will find the opposition at 30 odd to Sixers 6-10 attempts if that. Maybe that might be a reason, I'm not sure. Sixers are terrible defenders at giving up 3pt shots but Drmic and Teys actually do a reasonable job as much as we love to bag Teys. Deng gives clumsy fouls.

You know the season is fast approaching when you get a harsh reminder of how utterly annoying Perth fans are.

Watched plenty of games, i don't think Adelaide attacks the basket any differently to most teams, but they akways seem to be rewarded when forcing the contact. Not a perth only game thing. Its comical because if perth had an avg of +22fta this forum would explode, but Adelaide are just special... i notice u haven't explained how your avg defenders don't give away more fouls?

J,

you are honestly just proving the point that Adelaide knows what they are doing attacking the rim. Do you seriously think a game held in Victoria is going to end with ‘charitable handouts’ to Adelaide against Melbourne?

No other team can currently keep up with their pace. Wiley got tech fouled yesterday. I saw many fouls called on every team in the blitz that were questionable. None more so then others. Did you actually watch every game or just the Perth ones with your one sided view?

38 to 6, 36 to 24 and 45 to 22. Its not hard to win when you are getting thay many charitable handouts!!! I can accept your argument that the 36ers attack hard, but you are hardly an elite defensive team yet never seem to give up the same fouls when teams attack the basket, and your hands aren't in the magical perfect position, johnson is an avg at best defender, wiley is young drimic loses his mind, teys is slow, sobey and moore are solid but we are harsly talking an elite frontline known for their defence. Avg 22.3 more fta, teys almost had more fta then the opposition!!! EYW can cry buthurt all he/she wants but this is across 3 opponents, and warrants the question.

Such a disrespect for Loggins and Bruton. If any team can't play their FULL team for all games don't enter. It's a joke.

Seriously its the Blitz.

Regarding 36ers getting to the stripe so often. They attack the rim. They might force the contact, but the techniques of the defenders aren't good enough to keep up with the pace of the Sixers so they are called for the foul. So many times last season defenders get their hands in wrong position, just sends Sixers to the line every time.

Camel 31, you wouldn't ask the question if your team was on the wrong side of a 32fta differential? Every fan from every team is lying if they say that they wouldn't be wondering if a few didn't go their way.

Any team that gets 20 or mkre fta should wun every game, its called the charity stripe for a reason

Congratulations, Adelaide. One for the trophy cabinet.

I get the feeling DJ Kennedy doesn't have a broad range of skills offensively. I don't think he will be anywhere near as good as Prather

perth lose every game because of the refs

Enjoying watching 36ers after losing Creek in such a horrible fashion. They look fast and exciting to watch again. Frustrating teams again too. Picked up 2 decent imports from the looks and a few young blokes stepping up another notch. Be interesting when the season starts to see how they go.

38 to 6! Perth had more points in the paint where you would think you get fouled more. 38 to 6, 32 more fta. Liam santamaria said adelaide attacks the defence with reckless abandon, for mine that means they are often forcing the contact, they get way too many calls other teams don't get when they go inside.

I'd love to know how larkins ended up shooting freethrows after jervis went up for a dunk and got fouled??? When the commentators got of adelaide for a moment they did manage to acknowledge wagstaff got mown over and was unlucky to get called for a foul. The cats whole frontcourt was basically fouled out, 38fta to 6fta. Even as an adelaide fan you have to question that advantage. Daniel johnson didn't foul anyone? He is such a good defender

Sixers win 108-90

The Blitz looks pretty good to a Sixers supporter! I've had good quality Twitter streams as well, so no complaints from me! I think we can all revise our opinions of Adris Deleon drastically upwards too - the dude can still play!

36ers lead 78-66 at 3QT

Deleon making a run at MVP banking FT's what a character

Just shows you a few things. The experts tipped Adelaide to be bottom. The Blitz is a joke. Kings not suiting their starters up for their last game. I guess they don't want to be embarrassed again. The Titter coverage I saw was unwatchable. Joining NBL TV again and it's almost perfect.
Pretty pointless and if you host the Blitz you will probably lose money.

No, I stand corrected. Just saw the replay.

I know its hard to gauge without the proper lighting, and the clock on the screen is not in line with the game locks, but that shot was released after the buzzer.

Sixers up 52-45 at the half and win the quarter too thanks to that Drmic three quarter length buzzer beater.

Wear with another fizzler, but he's probably shown significantly more than Gee at this point, while (hopefully) earning significantly less, too.

Deleon is smoking

I didn't realize that there is a Senior's Day for the Kings today. Why we don't serve high tea for those close to 40 years old.

Sixers up 25-21 at Qtr time

No Sobey for Sixers

David Wear. 32 minutes. 8pts 7rbs 3/12 from the field and 0/4 from 3. Nice pickup JVG he is a star hahahahah

I feel this is the year when Cadee has a very strong pre-season but goes on to have a disappointing regular season.

Wear has this half, surely, to save his NBL 'career'.

NZ, BRISBANE, ADELAIDE, MELBOURNE.

I've been gold for about 4 years but am re-thinking the whole thing ATM.

I note we have until the end of this month for the "early bird" 10% off sale for season tickets, but until the end of June to retain old/existing seats at full price.

Anyone know how season ticket sales are proceeding - particularly "renewals " ?

I see that seats in rows C,D and E are (now?) " platinum" seats - is that a new thing for next season - in which case has there been a "upgrade" in price of $300 for those seat holders ? Sounds a bit steep if so.

anyone already renewed >
