Marshall Nelson, Makoto Hiejima and the like - no court time

@Trump D good call on my man Moller.
If he got double the minutes he'd be VERY effective.

I think last time I checked he was shooting a better % on 3s & 2s the McCarron & some of the more established stars.

Sometimes young guns just need a chance.

Ditch the 3rd import for all clubs, go with two gun imports & let every team have more time for one more quality Aussie young gun. There's plenty of them out there!

Moller does have a championship ring and is out of contract this season. Lets see Illawarra or Cairns (if they still exist) sign him.
As 445 said above the haters who have no game and never achieved anything at an elite sporting level or probably in life will always hate cos they have nothing else to do in life. Sad people.

Moller is the next lucas walker, people talked of his potential for years and then one day bang he's 34

Can't believe Moller and "player of his talent" are being used in the same sentence.

Reading a number. Seriously it's not that difficult.

According to the NBL website he is averaging 12.4 minutes per game.
Totally reasonable to round that to 12 and the rest of that person's postulation remains perfectly valid.

Lemanis pissed at that Boomers loss?

Hiejima wouldn't have got a run even if fit. There were plenty of opportunities earlier in the season but either Lemanis has forgotten him or just won't play him.

Im surprised with Heijima - his reputation and play against Aus suggested he was better than to ride the pine.

Hiejima has only put up 1 shot this year for no score. He’s played less than 2 min in 3 appearances. No other stats.

His stat line has flatlined.

There are a fair few players who just aren’t getting opportunities. 10th-11th man doesn’t seem to be a good spot to be in. Unless your team wins it all and you get a ring.

Anon above what are you smoking? Trist a 4, Smith-Milner a 5 and Moller is a 3/4 so the only one of three players mentioned actually blocking any significant time is Kennedy at the 3. Goulding is a 2, Kennedy a 3 and McCarron slides between 1-3

South-Mavs
Women: Mavs went on an absolute rampage for a great win last round. The only thing I could think that would get them more excited would be shopping trip in Milan. South are the unlucky ones this week as Mavs rack up more FlyBuys points on their credit card.
Men: The Mavs have been close this year, but like a pimply faced 40 year old mummy’s boy working in IT and still into Star Wars and lego, are yet to score. South have had an 8 run loosing streak and with recent changes in Mavs might be set for a 9th. The Mavs have improved by about 5 ppg, which is bad news since South won by 3 last time and they have lost about 12 ppg of form IMO. South to end up 0-2 at home.

Sturt-Norwood
Women: Last round, Sturt looked like the Sturt we all love to hate and Norwood fell like a hurdler in a race with Sally Pearson. Surely Nor-would aren’t turning into Nor-could. One expects a Nor-should win, but on their home court and with a full head of steam, could those bloo baggers give Simon a pre-finals headache? Probably not, but it would be about the only time 80% of the basketball punters would be hoping for a Sturt win.
Men: Norwood are still searching for 5th spot and are chasing Woodville like a priest chasing a choirboy. Sturt have had a great run this season. The first two pitches were wild strikes, then have gone on a display rivaling Babe Ruth knocking a home run 11 from 12 times to the plate. Even with Norwood curve balls, the bases are loaded and ready for Sturt the hit the ball out of the park.

West-North
Women: The good news for Westies is they have a home game, the bad news is North have improved by about 17 since they last met. Oh well, there’s always next year.
Men: MOTR. Last time they met it was Norf by 20, but fast forward 63 days and now both these teams are pretty even. The only real difference being West seem the spread the load like a gang of wharfies spreading overtime. It's not summer until the steering wheel is too hot to hold, and while they won’t get the split, the wharfies will be turning up the heat on those poor Norffie boys. Westies to take this one in a nail biter!

Woodville-Tigers
Women: Tigereresses are the hunted with the Lady Mavs stalking them. Mission this week is to get the W to stave off the threat of losing 5th - after all the Mavs have the split! If Tom Cruise can get partial access to Suri, then sure a W is not Mission Impossible.
Men: Woodville embarrased the Tigers by 31 last time and with a finals spot on offer only the brave would tip the Tigers to create the biggest upset since David picked up a stone. If Woodies don’t snare this one they could be gifting Norwood their finals spot. I’m expecting an “In-Zane” game.

Eagles-Lions
Women: This will be a classic pre-final bonecruncher. No doubt Carla will be on the scoresheet, but will the Lionesses be the first to be tested & the Blue Army the privileged first to bag her out from the stands, or will the Eagles keep their powder dry and let her enjoy the Thunderbirds end of season trip to Bali? The Lions have the split by 3 at the moment, but have probably slipped by 6 and the Feagles have strengthened by 3. No bench cleaning tonight as the Feagles get the edge going into the finals.
Men: Will someone please clip the wings of the Feagles? Certainly not the Lions. The Feagles have too many on fire and after a great mini-run mid season, the Lions will be trying to drain Swamp Wayville while it’s full of blue and gold snappy things. Not even McGyver could get out of this one unscathered. Feagles to go past a ton for the 4th time.
