isaac, no write up?

I think it's only being televised in Sinapore which is a big help. Don't think it's on radio either. Sixers by 10. Crowd: 47.

Singapore by 11. Why does everyone think we can win without Maher? No structure, plus the odd 20 points that need to be picked up to cover him. Cant see it happening

Ballinger and Grizzard to top score

6ers by 1.

are singapore on perth time?

Game Preview: Slingers vs 36ers

In New Zealand, the Slingers pushed to an early lead and will no doubt attempt the same in the familiar humidity of their home environment.

Adelaide's Davidson played with Singapore just last season and will have valuable advice for coach Phil Smyth and the rest of the team as to how best to handle the Slingers' tactics.

wat time is game tonite??

any radio coverage??

any live scores??


thanx.

It starts in two minutes i think

Just started 7.30 sa time on nbl live scores.
Davidsons experience and ability he should be best on court with Ballinger top scorer and a bit of a lift from Ng and Chappell, 36ers by 5 .

Nah hasnt started on live scores??

Thats because its the NBL live scores, and you would have more chance winning the lotto than the nbl scores being right or even running.

if thats the case, do you know of any other links
D16?

I rekon get ovr it live scores aint that bad!

There not that bad, but when you finish a game with the nbl scores showing different results to the box score posted in the write up you have to wonder what is happening.

but that hardly ever happens but when it does we here about it like it happens every day!

so when we gonna get any indication bout this game?

Cant get scores anywereiso i dont think so..

Cant get scres anywere so idont think its started.. sorry should pre read post..

5pm in Singapore is 7.30pm in SA. It flashed up live now at 7.30pm on nbl but won't show anything.

Yer but also sportal doesnt have any scores and there normaly up to date..

found a thing on ninemsn site that say game starts at 19:00... not sure if thats local or not... if so wont be any news here until 930!

anon source??

Kobe-for-MVP, every single match i have seen from live scores on NBL.com.au has had atleast 1 thing different. It is always wrong with either scores or players points. It may be minor, but it happens every game.

YAY 2nd quarter

sixers - 39
slingers- 39

we should all email the NBL tonight, the games started over an hour ago and still no scores, its a joke.

According to sportingbet the score is


Slingers 39
36ers 39

Second Quarter

Link, may not work however after a while.

123abc i no wat you mean but we still get scores and stuff dont we? i was just saying if we can not crap on about live scoard board screwing up.. if you no wat i mean..

http://scores.sportingbet.com.au/default.aspx?s=basketlive&cid=13&ps=home

its 39 all in 2nd quarter??

well done with the scores .... how did u find it ?

D16 i have the same score from sportal..

Singapore is on Perth time. The NBL website says game starts at 5pm AWST which is 7.30 pm here in Adelaide and 8pm in the Eastern States. My guess is the game is well and truly under way but NBL scoreboard fails again, and again, and again, and ..................................................

If someone has Chuck Harmison's mobile phone number, please call him and tell to fix the problem quickly. It may not be important to him but it is for the Adelaide fans.

I rekon get ovr it live scores aint that bad!

bl webby now has the same score 39 all..

yeah Sportal rarely works for me i've found.

Singapore Slingers website has the scores 39-39. No other info.

Looks like it's 39 all.

I got live scores working now, says 55-54 to this sixers at the half

http://www.nbl.com.au/matchcentre.aspx?mid=7819

says it is 55-54 at end of 2nd quarter....36ers up.

55-54 36ers no other info

NBL website has 36'ers up 14-4 with 7:31 to go in 1st 1/4

Kobe4MVP, 90% of the above posts are about people wasting their time trying to find scores for the game. all because NBL live Scoring is absolutely shocking... every game (the fg% especially is wrong every single game)

so im gonna continue to crap on about how bad it is and i encourage everyone else to aswell.

next year NBL should get bigpond to do the site, AFL's 'gameday live' is awesome.

looks like chappell has stepped up. he is on 24 points at the half.

NBL scoreboard working Singapore 54 Adelaide 55

But I wouldn't count on those, all the live scores look stuffed, all the players are mixed up on the teams and it says Chappell has 24 at the half, surely not?

The scores are right.

I just got from NBL 55-54 Adelaide's way with Chappell going off for a lazy 24 up til half time. Talk about responding to the critics. Now he's gotta continue that in the second half and for the rest of the season.

55-54 at half? Thank You Nbl Live Scores!

55 - 54 half time Chappell 24 point nbl box score.

Nbl saying Chappell on 24pts, Davidson 13, Ballinger 4

My man CHappel with 24 at half! I had faith in ya! is this corect?

Chappell has stepped up but that's the Singapore M Chappell not Adelaide's as he is listed under the
singapore list.

Motts and Chappel on 3 fouls may be a problem. But Helms also on 3 fouls.

it says cooper is on 4 fouls.....looks like the normal referee'ing.......truck load of fouls on adelaide.

cant get box score on mine ... nbl site has to step up , how can u promote a game when supporters cant even follow there teams live

dean go to http://www.nbl.com.au/matchcentre.aspx?mid=7819

55-54 Sixers up

trudat

looks like it is about to tip off again.

Anon, I reckon a good game from Chappell will win him some credit but it'd take 3-4 to win over most critics. Have to start somewhere and 24 by the half is a great start!

cmon 36ers

NVS how u no?

kobe....live scores.

Didnt have to change my mind bout chappell... i had faith in him last week while the lot of yas didnt... COME ON SIXERS!

Same RMM.. Chappell is a gun!..

Damn couple quick fouls and the Slingers have a decent lead over us.

looks like it is a fouling frenzy again....

Ballinger needs to step up.

thanx NVS down 60 - 55

i think the 36ers aint going 2 win ... hope im wrong

whoah theres like 83 replies on this topic lol... Chappell having a good game... So far Blagoj Janev is having a perfect game... 3/3 3pt shots and 4/4 at the line

Foul count currently is 19-14 in favour of slingers, chappell, mots and cooper both have four...

36ers are in big foul trouble now....chappell on 4, cooper on 4, mottram on 4.

RMM: Chappell playing hot and cold isn't a good thing. He had a huge game in NZ a few weeks back, and posted just 8pts with 5 fouls last week at the Dome.

Let's see what happens next Saturday at home against the Dragons. I'll be there to see what's going to happen, RMM... Will you? Or will you go into hiding again when he has another bad game?

sHUT UP ANONYMOUS... Still got ballinger to step up.. game not over yet, davidson will fire in the clutch

Ballinger is on 1 foul, hope he has alarm bells ringing telling him to wake up. He could now be the key to winning this game.

Assists 7-6 slingers way
Rebounds 33-18 slingers way
we are being killed on the boards, however with so many players on 4 fouls it makes it hard to go for the rebound without the fear of being called for a foul.

3:52 - 3rd

65 - 65

Ben Knight is cleaning the glass... 14 boards in the 3rd!

one word COPELAND!!!!!!

73-63 ours

73-67

67 sorry

over 100 replies woooo lol

He wants to catch upto Chappell

Three quarter time, Sixers 78 - 73.

NBL scoreboard is once again spoiling my evening.

Got Chappell to hit more threes than Janev. Come on - put him back on!

Davidson also has 3 threes.. along with Janev and Chappell

Excuse me CHappell for 3!!

Excuse me CHappell for 3!!

Impossible to follow the game when everyone plays for the Slingers. Just crazy, can't they train someone how to use the damn thing?

88-86

still 7:45 to go..

47 Fouls called so far in the match!

93-86

they need to draw another foul from grizzard.

and helms

CHAPPELL BIG 30!

Would be pretty cool if Slingers force an overtime... 3 consecutive overtimes games... some kind of record that would be right ay?

small lineup at the moment

nah, i would rather see the Sixers win...

99-88!

101-88

101- 88!! Woohoo!!

Grizzard FOULED OUT.

no overtime, lets get the win and get out of there!

Party Time! i want chappell back on the court!

cmon over 198.5

102-88 3:03 Left,
it's 2 wins in a row!

107-91

Anyone say..... BLOWOUT?

what a roll! just really disturbing the board count, that simply cant continue. Great win though and great to see mike have a good game but as mentioned he has to string at least a couple of consistent games together. Just nice to see us winning something again.

111-91

20 point lead 49 left

30 Chappell
20 Copeland
19 Davidson
16 Ng
14 Ballinger

Tuesdays Quiz night should now be a happier environment.

111-93

looks like ng 2nd half was strong as well.

2 WINS IN A ROW

That's the win!

And a 33-20 4th Quarter for the Sixers over the Slingers!

I just hope the scores are correct. NBL has 79 free throws taken for the game with 63 made (80%). That's a damn good return from the line for two teams...

don't hear any Mike Chappell knockers now, how about some praise for the man.

"don't hear any Mike Chappell knockers now, how about some praise for the man"

I'm here brock. Good effort, probably needed something like that to keep his job - but keep in mind that he was playing against the worst team in the league - let's see him do that consistently against the better teams in the league, and play some defence and then I'll give him his dues.

However, more likely when the Sixers don't make the finals one of the major factors in their failure will be the recruitment of Mike Chappell.

This is a good win for us, Chappell finding his range and form, and a decent win considering Ballinger had a mediocre game by his standards.

Good to see Copes getting a decent score, love to see him retire this year after having a good season, deserves to go out on a high.

Hopefully this gives the team some confidence specially chappell and they can continue on for a few weeks, be great to have Maher come back into a winning team

Brock....its simply ABOUT TIME! Many knockers were only being negative based on the facts. 30 points and a win is fantastic! BUT this is the worst team in the league (based on the ladder), and he has been sickly overdue to do what we all now know he is still capable of.

brock, I stand by what I said earlier in the thread.

Having Chappell playing hot and cold isn't a good thing. He had a huge game in NZ a few weeks back, and posted just 8pts with 5 fouls last week at the Dome. Tonight, he came out and shot the lights out again, with 30pts - 24 in the first half (hot), and 6 in the second half (cold).

Still keen to see next week's match. We could see another repeat of last week's home game, with his points only just exceeding his fouls.

Dragons will be tougher than last time - they're plus Cortez and we are minus Maher.

Great win by Phil, Stevee and Sapper.
I'm assuming that it was their fault because it is when they lose.

and Hendrix

And they have Hendrix in for Horvath which is a massive upgrade.

Heal has done his ankle....so he may not play next Saturday....

That will help his confidence (Mike Chappell , that is) been training well but lacking it in the games.
And same goes for Ng.
( Ballinger,will play a whole lot better here sat.)

Spot on bake!

good win go sixers

To think I had to wait until this morning to get the results. Last night the complaints were against the NBL scoreboard problems, only to get it running and then a total blackout half way through the 3rd quarter. Was anyone else affected by the blackout? I went to bed last night and everytime I woke up in the middle of the night, my first thought was the Sixers have lost another game. Chappel wss great but only proved he is capable, not proved that he will continue to play like this. I agree with those who say he still needs to prove himself. Hope he does because its his input together with the rest of the team being fit and healthy that will see us making playoffs. What was worrying about last night's game is the fact that we played a bottom of the ladder team and still had our doubts about whether we could do it. Wins like that should be a given, not a wish.

My match report is here

Slingers might be the bottom team, but that win is worth as much as any other on the ladder and they had to grab it regardless.

Interesting games next up in South and Townsville.

By some of the logic and knee jerk reactions that are normally on here the sixers should also now cut Brett Maher.

Obviously that is tongue in cheek but the last two wins will mean that Axel Dench becomes a full time bench warmer barring injuries. I don't understand why Phil keeps forgetting that it is hard to go 9 or 10 deep. It first happened way back in 97 and 98. He tried to play everyone and no one knew what was going on - in the end Potsie and J-Will sat far more. Why does Phil need to be reminded of this every year?

Maybe he looks for value in all players and tries to do the right thing by them where possible with regard to court time?

You could be right. He might deliberatley run everyone at the start of each season to work out for himself who should be the one to sit (it seems he has chosen Dench now?). I guess the risk of doing that is you may upset some of the others in the process (unless the situation was clearly spelt out at the start of the season, ie "I can't play all of you guys, so you'll all get a share of the time for the first few games to prove yourself). Others would argue that the preseason is the time to do this!

Adelaide only got 56.8% of the defensive rebounds.....that's a shocking stat...For Slingers to get more that %40 of the offensive boards {for their offensive end} is huge..

I think most of the ten have good claims to minutes. e.g., you run Coops and Mottram and then both your bigs lack range. Sit Copes and then you miss out on those times when he gets rolling (e.g., 20 points last night).

What is with Mottram not scoring?

I don't know much of his game, however I personally thought coming from Europe he would be good for 10 - 15 per.

He doesn't seem to score 5 - 10.

Did coach Phil in the paper today say Mottram's knee was 'proppy'?
Did he get injured or has he been carrying an injury? I thought he has been looking pretty fit ?!?

Had surgery in the off-season. Has been fit during the season AFAIK.

anon572 we still get to boo Heal he's coach remember, hopefully a bad ankle wont stop him from hoppin on a plane.
