getting tight now - 89-83 - 2.30 left

1:45 to go... only a 3 point game! 91-88!! C'mon 6'ers!! :|

Holmes has just gone on a rebounding spree -- now has 12 boards and hits the bench after making a shot (8 points to his name).

89-80, 2:34 to go.

Come on!

Mick Hill just hit a 3. Now 91-88 - uh oh, hold them off!

Brannen for 2. 91-90. 1:12 to play.

get out of jail - i want a home final advantage

ahhhhhhhhhhhhh i think we lost by 1 point on a willie foul at the end :-(

Sixers down by 1 with 7 seconds to play. Bullets have the ball I think. Crap!

yeah and it aint updating.. i think we lost :'( we were up by 7 with 2 mins to go as well

shit, that was VERY bad. How did we let that slip. That is i cant really say what it is.ah.

shit is what it is

did we lose???

i have it with 7 secs to go and down by 1?

how the hell can we let that slip? wtf is going on?????

pathetic!!!!!

Live stats have frozen. We'll have to wait for the boxscore or Sportal!

Live stats now replaying the third quarter!?

yes its replaying on mine

If we did go down it is no suprise scoring ony 2 points in the last 3 minutes!!!

we lost by 1...it takes a while for the final scores to come up on the nbl site for some reason but this long pause suggests the game is over...however, in saying that, it could have gone into overtime somehow? lets hope so cause we wouldnt wanna lose after being up by so much

Rees needs to practice his free throws!

We lost by 1 - Sportal

I am sick of these heart wrenching narrow losses on the East coast.

Grrrr!

I need rehab

i think its replaying the 3rd cos the game is over. its just playing the old bit. I cant really get my head around the loss, such control the whole game...then gone. Hope they get the shit yelled at them, there is no excuse for that. its just sad.

The live scoreboard says 92-91, Bullets way.

The Bullets player point totals add up to 94. Sixers totals add up to 95... Wha?

You're right Isaac. Wonder where the error?

sportal has it saying 92 91 also?

Did the same thing in a tight game last year were our individual scores were more than the total....it is usually out by a few points most games

Egan kicked our ass and Dereck finished us off

Great to have Dusty back

i would trust the total score and not the player onces. More chance they got that wrong then the total i would think.

did u see the 2nd half comback from melbourne over the hawks? 58 to 28 second half...to take it 99 79! old legs seem to continue to get the job done!...lets hope when the scores are finalised, the 6ers end up on top.

EC - after the game paused at 7 seconds and the scoreboard went back to the 3rd quarter, they seemed to update two stats. Something involved Bryant Matthews, and the other line was an Oscar three pointer in the third. Previously Oscar had 7 and 7. Now scoreboard shows him with 9 and 7. Bizarre.

I think 92-91 is the final score. thescore.com.au has updated and they go by SMS sent from the games, so likely to be on the mark.

Round 17 - completed Brisbane Convention Centre

Sat 22/1/2005

Brisbane 92
Adelaide 91
The Bullets outscored the 36ers 33-to-20 in the final term - and scored the last 6 points of the game - to snatch victory by 1

Sportal: "The Bullets outscored the 36ers 33-to-20 in the final term - and scored the last 6 points of the game - to snatch victory by 1."

that is a total kick in the fkn ass!!!! i know we have a team that plays with heart but we should not let these games go, even on hte road!!! great to have dusty back but we should never have lost...other temas are catching our butts and now is the time to get into playoff mode with wins and confidence..somethign we are lacking!!!

can somone PLEASE teach holmes how to shoot!!!!!!!!!!!!

im pretty sure i just sent that! haha

Isaac, if Oscar's & Bryant Matthew's tally was increased by 2 in error, the total tally is still with the Sixers up by 1, 93-92. After all that I still can't believe that Rees had 3 lots of free throws in the last few minutes and only getting 1 out 2 each time.

against his old team too...the crowd would have loved it. what a shocking night for the 36ers.

good coaches ploy - double team the likes of farley, maher - leave rees open - so he has to get the ball - then foul him - for only 50% fouls hot ratio.

sounds like clever coaching to me

Here's a report from someone who went to the game, copied from the OzHoops forum:

"I have just got back from the game. I can tell you 'The Library' was going absolutely bezerk tonight. The bullets were never a chance until about 3 minutes to go."

"Mick Hills three was the catalyst for the winning run. Rucker hit 3 free throws after what I would call a dubious call on Rychart but nothing out of the ordinary from the refs calls tonight. Rees could only manage to hit one of his free throws after being fouled after pulling in a huge rebound on the offensive glass. That had the bullets down by one. After a quick inbounds the ball goes to Rucker who passes it down to Matthews for the dunk and at that point the noise was deafening, but low and behold there is the ref is holding his arm up calling the play back and waving the basket away after one of the sixers, can't recall who, had fouled Rucker. Rucker hit both penalty free throws and Maher couldn't manage the tough jumper from about 17ft. Bullets win."

Losing by 1 after the week the 6ers has had is a great effort by the guys....considering the run they have had with games last weekend, the All Star game and a hard game last night.

Well done boys, we will just have Tiger meat sandwiches for a late lunch on Wednesday :)

Yogee...I'm not feeling so good. The Sixers have lost 2 straight and 4 out of their last 5. This the stretch run home and while we have been close, that isn't going to get it done. A lot more pressure on the Sixers on Wednesday night than I thought there would be.

MUST win game on wednesday to clinch 3rd spot. townsville and melborune right on our heels. if we did we last night, and after the hakws shocking second half against melbourne, the 36ers would have been just one game behind the hawks.
turns out to be a pretty significant loss last night. townsville have a pretty good run home and with newley firing, they would be challenging for 3rd spot along with melbourne, and the 36ers.

Tiger meat sandwiches for lunch Yogee? Yum.

john -- I definitely agree. It would've been great if we could've picked up the win last night as the Crocs have an easy run home and the Tigers are a form team. Neither game this week is a surety, but I think we can win both. Especially against the Hawks - despite their record, I just don't rate their full roster.

If we lose to the Tigers on Wednesday, and the Bullets win their next game, we may drop two spots and be fighting for a home court advantage in the play-offs.
