Excellent good to hear! Shame for him though

Bring him back to the 36ers and make my season tickets worth every cent.

NBA website mate. Or to be exact...

picked up Beasley's stat line against NJ

1/13 FG 7 Fouls (huh?) and 5 TO in 26mins.

Brockman, you cannot foul out in Summer Pro League, hence the 7 fouls..

Cheers DB5 thought that must have been it.

You can foul out with 7 fouls if you keep conducting the 'intentional foul' to stop the clock.

There was a bloke from the Sonics who picked up 4 fouls in 10-15mins as part of his game. Forget his name as I type this though.
He was a black bloke, 6'8-6'10, PF with huge dreads similiar to a Busta Rhymes.

I'm gonna say Danny Fortson Champ

Maric hasn't been doing to badly had one good game, but yes bruce and Hodge not doing to well. Good news for sixers fans i spose

It must be tough playing these games, you would think the comp to get touches and catch the eye of the coaches would not be too conducive to team play...

I reckon Mikki Moore from that description champ...

Kent Brockman, even that Beasley had a bad game he has been doing much better then Rose! I still think Rose will be no good this season. Maybe 10ppg, 4apg, 3 rpg. I think he is very over rated! Ill probably be eating my words come season time tho :P

I agree King James, Rose just isn't ready. He is soo damn quick, but i haven't seen his jump shot. Does he have one?
Rose is also very turnover pronged, but i reckon we shouldn't be jumping on his back just yet. After all it is only summer. Once the summer league is finished, im sure he will improve immensely.

On the subject of Hodge- Why do we have a new thread on him every game he plays. It's ridicolous.
I know he shot a 3 today- It wouldn't suprise me if a person made a new thread titled "Hodge shoots 3!"

Only hard part in Summer leagues is the number one rule "never pass the ball". Most players are out for themselves and aren't interested in showing off their team-based skills (aka, screens, passing).

on 5aa they discussed it with someone on from the adevertiser, zek i think he was boldy stating hodge is a 99% done deal for the 36ers, now as a fan i hope this is true, as a realist this reporter is probably on the same stuff king cole was on

I really don't see how Hodge could reasonably accept an offer from the Tigers anyway with their line-up and salary issues. How much is schenscher getting for the 1 year deal?

Wow, so there's only a 1% chance he won't come? By my calcualtions that would make the odds 100 to 1 of him not being here. I wonder if this journalist would give me those odds on a tenner?

I'm enjoying the Hodge watch, skip. And thanks.
Now the odds, like 100 to 1 of him not being here, I find interesting. Would it be 50/50, billo ?

dont know how he could make a claim so early into summer league

When you think he'd bring in more than he'd cost us. That would be sad.

Your guess is as good as mine Camel, I'm not privy to any inside information I'm afraid. All I know is that the chances of him either making the NBA or going to the Tigers are greater than 1%.

nutter, if Hodge is not doing too well, how is that good for Sixer's fans? Are we looking for a "not so good" Hodge?

EC, I think nutter means that he is not playing well, wont get picked up by an NBA club, and will return to the 36ers.

Game 4

Didn't start. Played 13 minutes.
1/3 from the field
3/5 from the strip
5 points
2 Boards
2 Assists
1 Foul
1 Turnover

of course tigers have offered him an offer sixers cant match ,, they have no regard to the cap or decency to let good players join other teams, they are driving the NBL into the ground .. Shameus and his cronies are a fukn disgrace.. and I suggest if tigers sign Hodge, that mcpeake is beheaded by an angry mob. I mean they got whore, griz, antsey, barloo, smack. u get my point. its stoopid!

The latest Ive heard is that the tigers arent looking at him at all anymore.

If Hodge did sign with Melbourne and the team were injury free I couldn't see them losing more than two or three games (Cairns?, NZ?, Perth?). And no team could take three games off them in a finals series.

Game 5 (Final Game)

Only got 5 minutes court time today.
2 points (foul shots)
1 Offensive Board
1 assist


Overall average per game for the week.

12:04 minutes (Started in 2/5 games)
3 points (30% from Field, 0% From 3pt, 64% from stripe)
3.2 Boards
1 assists
0.4 steals
0.8 Turnovers

Will he be picked up to play with anyone in Vegas? It could be sooner rather than later that we hear if he is coming back to Adelaide.

Just on the subject of Hodge and the Tigers, I can't see how he could fit under the points cap?

Anstey 10
Sammy Mac 10
Grizzard 10
Barlow 8
Crosswell - 8(7) from when he signed current contract
Hoare - 9(8) same reason as Crosswell
Corletto - 6(3)loyalty reductions??
Greer - 4(1) I'm guessing from earlier contract?
Johnson 3 - as the YAP must be in the starting 10

Now I calculate that as equalling 60 pts.

Hodge is a 10 and hence would not fit under the points cap. Surely even McPeake couldn't pull off a stunt like that to fit him in???

Even if they could re-rate someone, who? Anstey, Sammy Mac and Grizz are all legit 10s and Barlow is more a 9 than a 7, no other players could even be re-rated due to their internal ratings applying anyway.

Therefore, the Sammy Mac signing effectively means Melbourne will be playing with only 1 import this season, although I'm expecting McPeake to front with one of his usual tricks. Thoughts?
