Illawarra v Sydney Dec 16

That will be the biggest crowd in Wollongong all season.

Sad to see.

They opened up the curtain that normally blocks about 1 qtr of the stadium. You could see plenty of spare seats but 3951 is quite shocking I would of thought it was less

Going off the boxscore, the attendance was: 3951 - which is very very good for the Hawks, especially lately...

Indigenous game was a great idea and run very well except one serious omission. Scott Butler is not only the nbl referee manager he is also Australia’s first NBL referee of Aboriginal decent.

It was good to recognise Michael Ahmatt Australia’s first Indigenous basketballer at an olympics. To recognise that Scott Butler was the first Aboriginal referee at an olympics was a poor oversight.

Well done Illawarra on your respect today. Hopefully we will see all teams recognise our lands history in future years.

anyone see an attendance number?

Surfer Sally would be A Grade celebrity in the Gong.

Steph Gilmore is huge in Tweed/Gold Coast area. Surfer Sally equivalent in the Gong.

Heal commentating in Wollongong: "Here in Sydney"

19 foul shots to 0 anybody?

Is Surfer Sally at the game to support Adnam???

I don’t believe the Gerringong Girl cover story.

Is that Willie Simmons on the Hawks bench? Assistant role?

If this thread is any guide, the interest level in this game is almost zero. Even with Forman on commentary team, Mundine and surfer Sally at the game.

They do.

No score ticker. How amateur.

Hawks have two former MVP player's + jett, former all Australian centre. Anderson won a million titles around the world great role players and a great coach.

Haven't had the chemistry as yet, should be close game. Ware until as a consistent game's hitting it like here on Friday the Kings still have a? For me great talented team but consistacy is the key and over a 5 game series with perth or united or adelaide?

You da man, Jack. But I still think Sydney will have this wrapped up by half time.

Dallas Mavs will play FC Barcelona in Barcelona on October 9th 2012 as parts of the Mavs NBA preseason Euro tour. Will be interesting to see with Joe Ingles in the lineup, whether he can make the most of a good opportunity to impress. David Andersen has previously played against NBA teams while playing for both CSKA and FCB before heading to play in the NBA himself.


Will Basketball Australia ever been in a position to organise an NBL team to play an NBA team?
I don't think it has happened since Perth played the Rockets in 95'.
