Should be an easy win and I reckon you might be right about Hodge and Ballinger.

A few games of note tonight - this one, Hawks hosting the Taipans and the Kings hosting the Breakers (who are fighting for a home final).

Nope - Blaze & Wildcats is on Fox.

You are right! Ive got my Aus Western Standard time and Daylight savings time mixed up.
Can that be changed mods?

I'd like to give two answers, based on the Sixers knowing whether they're still a finals chance:

No chance (ie Taipans win): Sixers by 31

Still in with a shot (ie Taipans lose): Slingers by 2.

(I still subscribe to the 'Good enough to break your heart' theory.)

I've even got the final play: Sixers have the ball, run final play for Copeland who goes for the 3 and the win - and it rims out.

Thanks for that Bo............... Anyway LETS GO SIXERS and LETS GO HAWKS

CMON SIXERSSS!!!


CMON HAWKS!!!

let there be lite!!

Slingers.
If there playing well tonite
they will own adelaide.
sorry to say
but
this may be the end
might.
Adelaide will need to not under estimate this team.

#51 clueless....Slingers cant and contain Hodge!

Have to agree with BO, They certainly have done a spectaluar job this season of building up my hopes one game, only to have it come crashing back down the next.

Hawks and Taipans started.

Hawks 29 Taipans 15.

DOnt want to get excited onli early :D.

Taipans have won the game in Wollongong so tonight result is academic.

i acually hope phil stays.

Why ?

Anyone knows were i can follow this game live? NBL livescore is f****d up :)

Cheers.

sportal says 0 - 0 aswell

If Hawks had won tonight, we would all by dying of sheer desperation not being able to follow the progress of the 36ers/Slingers game. Shame on the NBL and about time they got their act together with the scoreboard. Its been an utter disgrace all season.

Not just NBL.com.au though. sportal says 0 - 0

Dont know the time, but the score is 15-27
You can follow it at Slingers homepage...
http://www.singaporeslingers.com/default.aspx?

1st Quarter

Slingers 15

Sixers 27

43-53.

sixers up 53 v 43
http://www.nbl.com.au/default.aspx?s=schedule

53 43

Sad that its come to im getting scores of my 3 mobile.

53 - 43 in second quarter.

55 - 57

our last game in singapore it started working after half-time ( chappell had 31points)
be good if nbl had something that worked

55-57, could that be the HT score?

Will just miss the first few games - understatement of the year!


The new NBL.com.au will include an expanded and improved version of the popular live scoring feature for season 2007/08.

Fans will be able to see full boxscores in real time, improved game summaries, shot charts and an expanded play-by-play view.

In order to ensure the live scoring is properly tested in a real game environment and that any issues are identified before it goes live to the public, the first few games of the 2007/08 season will not feature live scoring.

Whilst we realise this may be disappointing to fans, we also understand that a system that doesn't function properly is even more frustrating.

We look forward to launching the new and improved live scoring in the near future.

Sixers 65 - Singapore 58

Any ideas who's scored what?
This bites.

Sixers up 78-70

How is it that you have a major Sports Comp, with no following of scores or audio.
This is pathetic. the only place I know that runs a feed is via www.futuresports.com.au they actually have live video streaming
Thank God its 70-78 36ers!

Sportal scoreboard seems to be working - more or less. Try http://sportal.com.au/Basketball-scorecard/7950

It doesn't seem to be updating very often and no indication of what time in the game it is -just "third quarter".

So we have no idea who's doin what tho? damnit nbl show me the frikn box scores

Sixers 90 - That oppisition 77

the best i can say is tune into http://www.futuresports.com.au/2.html

They have the asian live feed running, at least you get to see who is scoring what..

Helms is playing well for the Slingers.

94-77 Sixers lead, some tim in the fourth quarter. Looks like we're going to finish with a good win. Keepit going Sixers.

Wish I knew who was getting it done tonight. Maybe something will appear on NBL site later tonight???

ewt t can you keep posting scores as they happen say every 30 secs to a minute?

PLEASE!!!!

you need to install this to view it

http://download.sopcast.cn/download/SopCastOcx.zip

Then click on the 3rd channel down on the list.

Cheers

Lj ok

its 102 - 81

5.24 to go

Are you able to post the scores though. the game will be over before i install it. It would be very much appreciated!!

Thanks ewt!!

114 86

Gotta be close to the end. Sportal has sixers up 111-84

116 86

How long left?

2.06

Score Check?

Sportal has 123-97. is that the final score?

Any idea of stats?

How sad it this. We are relying on HoopsSA for the scores instead of the NBL website!!

Its up on NBL guys, Hodge 27 Ballinger 21~
Helms took 32 shots, lol.

Round 22 in the Results section of NBL web site is showing Sixers up 126-97. No idea if that's a final or a progress score.

Sutton 17pts - good finish to an average season

No wonder we finished well - according to NBL.com.au we have six players on at the end. That has to help.

Woop no the box scores were wrong;

Helms got 35 points, the 32 shot attempts was wrong :P

Grizzard 19 points 9 rebds 7 assists

Hodge 27 points 9rebds 4 steals

Ballinger 21 points 2 blocks

If only we won one of those games against the Blaze! If only...........

In that case, we'd still need the Taipans to lose to Townsville in Cairns, or have the Blaze lose to Townsville and us win the points aggregate against Gold Coast.

That loss in Wollongong, when we had Hodge as well, was another one that shouldn't have been a loss.

Not great missing the play-offs, but unearthing Hodge could make for excellent preparation for next season.

True Isaac. That is the reason for my second if only.... There were many games we should have won. The Perth game here is another one when our shots just didn't go in.

Hopefully they can hand on to Balls & Hodge as has been discussed in previous threads. If we cant keep Hodge because of NBA commitments, hopefully he will give a name of someone else who can do the job - like Hawkins did for the Blaze

Hey LJ, lay off the Blaze a little hey???

Apart from the Hawks game Isaac mentioned, your home loss against the Crocs should have been another win, particularly as you had EASY wins over the Kings and Bullets.

Besides, as the 36ers played Blaze three times this year, you would have needed two wins, not one, to get the series win.

Curious, in NBL history, how many teams have won 4 of their last 5 games but failed to qualify for finals?

Conversely, we're probably going to drop our last three, but are still playing next week.

To all sixers fans, bad luck on missing out. At least you never have to battle with NBL live scores again this season!!!

Feel free to jump on and follow the Blaze now as we charge full steam into our finals campaign full of confidence (lowest team score all season tonight).

Actually if we get beaten by the Crocs on Friday, we'll probably have to go back there next Wednesday/Friday for the 5 versus 8 Quarter Final. And in NBL history has any team ever been beaten by the same team twice, at the same venue, within seven days???? I don't think so :-)

Blazefan, thanks for the consolation "At least you never have to battle with NBL live scores again this season!!!" I am sure it means a lot to 36ers fans. Can't believe how stupid that comment is.

NBL scores worked for 3 or 4 games this season. The rest was rubbish. Not a good nite for us sixers fans.

Quote from Phil... "We're probably the hottest team right now as we've been for the past month and it was good to finish on a good note although we didn't make it to the final."
Good one Captain Obvious, but it all means absolutely nothing if your not there come post season!!!
Is he trying to bolster his stocks for when he reapplies????

Anyone got boxscores for the game?

Looks like there is still 6 minutes to go in the game on nbl scores. I heard we won. But with nbl scores, who knows what happened. I don't want to look at it again, it's a mess.

The box score is linked from adelaide36ers.com.

Hodge pretty good then. 29points in 29mins.

Lighten up EC - obviously a joke based on how ridiculous the live scores have been for the last few seasons. Blazefan is a regular and valued contributor

Hodge a slight chance for another player of the week?

In 29 minutes..
29 points at 67% including 3/3 from outside.
10 Boards
4 assists
4 steals
Only 2 fouls and 1 TO.

PLEASE RETAIN HIM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I belive Draper got a triple double for the Kings in just 32 minutes. I think that might snatch it!

Draper would be the pick for POTW I think.

Statiscally, Hodge still had the better game.

But I agree, the league will give it to Draper at this point. kings still have another game and a quiet one by draper would put Hodge back ahead of him.

Thanks a lot EC. No wonder so many others on this site think you're a few rebounds short of a triple-double.

Perhaps Adelaide's elimination from contention caused you to take it out on the nearest target. That's OK. I'm a big boy.

But please, please, please read the posts more carefully before taking aim. As we don't have the benefit of emoticons on this site, I can't place a smiley or two to set up the blog tone.

Thanks doctor for the back-up, praise and taking my comment as it was intended. It's support such as this which makes HOOPS SA such a great place to read and contibute, even if we're not 36er fans.

Going to appear a little biased here, but who cares!

In a game where 223 points are scored & 179 FGA's are put up, there are only 27 assists on the 86 made field goals?

That appears to me to be a pretty low % (31.4%)

e.g. 39 assists on 76 made FG's in the Taipans/Hawks, played at a slower pace - only 156 FGA's. (51.3%)
47 assists on 63 made FG's in the Kings/Breakers game from only 151 FGA's. (74.6%)
I mean there was even 31 in Wildcats/Blaze stinker of only 159 points cobined, out of 61 made FG's and a total of only 133 FGA's (very slow pace)(50.8%)

I didn't see the 36ers/Slingers Game, or even stay up to follow the scores, but would be really interested to know whether Hodge could have gotten a few more assists, if the game had been played elsewhere & and could possibly cost him 4 POTW in a row.

(Mod: Interesting case.)

Good point. Give it Julius then I reckon.
