Snakes v Sixers Oct 26

I'll take that as a yes ;-)

"Trimble has only been good offensively in one game"

Game 1 - 32p, 8/13, 3a
Game 2 - 28p, 8/15, 5a (6/9 triples)

That's two pretty handy offensive games, even with some bad turnovers in the second one.

A couple of things from the game. How does loughton continue to get any minutes let alone starters minutes and rob lowe who is better gets hardly any court time.
Same thing for majok deng from adelaide, why is he even staying there when he could get 25 minutes a game somewhere else and put up decent numbers.
I just dont get the coaches in the nbl who give good players very few minutes.
Coneraad and wagstaff are 2 others that come to mind

Cairns have shot 30 FTs the past two games and given their opponents 70. They've got to start defending. Trimble is a good offensive PG but he's got a lot of work to do defensively, and without Walker fully fit they don't have bigs who are great at defending the other side of the on-ball.

Fouls 31-19, MVP Mayberry!

Tragardh and Worthington together was horrible. Worst commentary duo for a pro sport ever. WTF are you doing NBL? At least Casey was there with them.

Watching the game highlights video on YouTube (https://youtu.be/_PB3-S4BYFA) and shit, the clips starting at 0:35 and 1:07... if they aren't the haunting screams of tormented souls residing in hell...

Classic stuff

10 of those are from hacking the end of the game. Another 8-10 are from the different game styles played by the teams. And then throw in a few random calls which might go either way. Why does this need to be explained after every game?

36ers are nothing special. It is just that the referees ADORE THEM.

34 Free throws to 12 LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL

The TV ratings for this league are a farce.

Amazing how when fans from anywhere other than Perth critiscise the refs and the calls adelaide especially get its ok. As i have said before, when the refs fall for thise adelaide flails and they end up plus 20 im fta, they won't lose too many

LOL 34 Free throws to 12 attempted

I would love to be an NBL referee.

All i would do is bet on games i officiate in, call everything and anything on the team i bet against and watch the team i bet on win.

It really is that simple.

Who will catch you?

Ahhh I see its one of those stupid Fiba rules. My mistake.
My comment about stupid commentary still stands though.

If the player misses the first shot but makes the second does it still count as an assist?

But Sobey did not get a triple double. He must still have family up there on the stats bench. He was getting awarded assists left right and centre all night that he did not deserve. Seek "Sobeys" assist to a Drmic 3 with 5:40 to go in the final quarter. That young fella looks a lot like our power forward import :)

Oh and Loughton also swatted DJ with 4 minutes to go when drove to the hoop! HE ALSO LOOKS LIKE MITCH YOUNG :)

Sobey did not get a triple double. No way you get an assist from free throws. Stupid commentary.

"Sobey did not get a triple double. No way you get an assist from free throws. Stupid commentary."

Actually, you do get assists for made free throws. Re the game, after quarter-time I thought it was a cracker. Thought it was well reffed until late in the piece, but unfortunately the two young refs got overawed in the pressure situation.

Still, Adelaide were the better team and deserved to win, they defended very well when it mattered and made the big plays at the other end. Sobey is just a super star, who knows how good he's going to get.

It pretty much fell into Young's hands, not sure what he was supposed to do

Sobey did not get a triple double. No way you get an assist from free throws. Stupid commentary.

hmm box score has stolen Sobey's triple double. Only 9 assists.

Delay of game for touching the ball and directing to the baseline, not sure why Cairns would want to delay in that situation and I don't think that was delaying the game but ok

Didn't see what Young did to get the tech, assuming he touched it when it went through the net.

Hell of a game for Sobey, but overall a D- grade for the officiating crew tonight.

Why the hell was that a delay of game?

I guess 4.5 secs is enough time for 36ers to tie up the game.

Cam Tragardh two night in a row. And numnuts Wortho to boot.

I'd rather listen to a full game of First Ever ads.

I think the refs should learn what a backcourt violation is, before they can worry about if players are trying to trick them

Yeah, that Walker unsportsmanlike was one of the dumbest yet, especially considering the review as well. Didn't even warrant a review, the refs 100% just responded to the Sixers' reactions.

Some of the 6ers players still seem to have gone to the Italian soccer diving (flopping) school. And some of the calls are soft!!!!!

SOFTEST unsportsmanlike foul. Garbage call smh man

This little fool in the Lowry singlet is starting to grind my gears

"Less action than a white crayon!"
How can you not love Trigger's commentary?

Must be the 36ers worst quarter of the year so far!

I wish these Sixers had shown up for the two Sydney games.

Taipans win the first quarter by 8, and somehow it feels like it should have been a lot more. No rhythm at all to the 6ers play.
Very correctable though.

They will announce a 2 year deal with a 'Renowned Australian Player' at 10:30am this morning.

Judging by comments on here in the last week, you would assume that it is Schenscher.

I'll be really keen to see if Trimble goes off for another big game or if we're able to slow him down a little.

Moore is a tough out for us but I would still expect us to get up, we usually seem to play well up in Cairns.

Haha Jesus H Christ, Paul. I guess you're right. Shouldn't matter

Well I'm 6'5".

This is fast becoming worse than the Bullets v Perth thread.

For Christ's sake Manu, who cares?

How did you know I had Dandruff ?
I am 6'4" in shoes too .

*Also I didn't mean to capitalise the 'G' on 'god', phone did that automatically

Stop being so polite, this is an internet forum for God's sake

I think the loss was to the Hawks .
MY first home game of the season so all in on the Taipans
Hope Joey is ready for some grief .

Moore isn't travelling with the team.

We'll dispose o' the posers
