The 36ers are playing the first of 3 pre-season games in the NT. First up Townsville tonight in Darwin and then 2 games against Japan in Palmerston.

Didn't Townsville play against Melbourne last night in Traralgon?
They went from Traralgon to Darwin in one day and are playing tonight? Wow. Big effort for them.

Be interested to see how many people turn up. Be good to get a team in the NT if there's a market there.

Getting used to the more compressed schedule this year? Pretty crazy though.

Who will be OUT for the Sixers?
Wilson? DQ? Gibbo of course.
By the looks of things Schenscher, Creek, Crawford & Teys are the only actual 36ers players playing with ring ins Johns, Lycett & Atem.
Crocs have Markovic, Djeric, Norton, Holmes, Henry, Vanderjagt along with 2 guys Diop and McGrath.
Claybrin McMath has suited for Townsville.
Pretty pedestrian.
Mitch looking the bet.

Fiba Live stats is awesome.
Claybrin McGrath.
Greg Bandejagt.
Doesn't really prove a lot, but good to see our main 4 all put up reasonable numbers. PC not so much, but we're not allowed to expect much from him.
Don't think I've ever seen Creek put up even 10 shots in a game, let alone 25, but 28 and 7 with 4 assists, 2 blocks and a steal is a very handy line regardless.
Another nice game for Johns. Could be on to something with him by the looks.
Markovic dominated, which I guess you'd expect against a development player/team without any point guards (not sure what position Johns plays).
Again, like the Melbourne game, not a huge amount to take from it. But a win where we had some good contributions from basically our bench and 1 starter (Creek or Teys) is a handy tune up. Hopefully we get some others in for the Japan games. Montreal especially, the more time we can get him with the team, the better.
waste of time. Maybe the people who enter the data into livestats should cop the blame rather than the application eh.

Two ring ins score higher than some contracted Sixers?

Schenscher only played 23 mins, to Johns' 35 (Johns is a contracted DP by the way) and scored 1 point less.
And, well, Crawford, I don't really have my hopes up for him anyway.

Disappointing that Djeric and Norton haven't done better through these two warmup games with such a depleted Crocs roster.
Holmes didnt play either so 7 players after a long trip from melb... crocs missing 4 starters - Conklin Gladness Blanchfield Steindl

It is not always about the player as an individual, but where they fit in any given team. Chemistry needs to be right and obviously that is showing with the likes of Johns and Creek. Until entire team together we won't know how the team chemistry is but great to see some developing within the smaller groups. Will wait and see what Joey has in mind for Crawford.
when is the next game? and will it have a live stat link

These warm up games are great for the development players and the rest of the training squad to get some quality court time. With the worlds currently on and other leagues finishing up, no team is going to be 100%. What these trips do allow though is a sense of purpose, a team/club culture and above all get fans that probably dont get to see a game, interested in the NBL.
Criticism on PC is probably not warranted. In the majority of Creeks baskets PC would have been the next pass option. With real NBL defence, he would have contributed a lot more. One thing PC gives us is a level head, someone who can defend and not get dominated and he is a legimate shooting threat which can still burn people off the dribble.
Nearly capacity crowd in Darwin for a game that everyone knew would only be 4 on 4 with some fillers. Good for the sport
