Childress likely has the reach too.

Hahaha the tip-off time. Nice one

7:30pm AEST ;-) ;-)

Located in Perth - my bad. was going to say 4.30PM Perth time to annoy people, instead my error will annoy people anyway.

Haha you're all right Tokoto. We've just had a terrible run with this lately

Not a fan of either team but am legit looking forward to Carrera 2: Electric Boogaloo

It's on at 4:30pm in WA.....1977.

Am I the only one getting a playback network error?

NBL TV is a joke .

Fouls under the basket inside the semi circle counts now???

Childress looks rusty, just 2 boards and a made basket in about 3 seconds of court time (slight exaggeration).

Anyone know why they're wearing black armbands?

Greenwood's mother

Well, Carrera is a bit of a rampaging x-factor.

Good spread from the 36ers though and didn't need Childress to excel. 18/26 FT, 17 TO and still got the road win.

(Sorry about the site issues - Hoops' database has been problematic and a conversion in table types didn't help at all so I had to revert.)

Cairns back to normal after the best game they'll play all season last week.

715

Wher are all the 36ers supporters?

They don't like the latitude of Cairns fans.

did teys really play 21 minutes and his only stat was a foul ?

Must be an NBL stats issue. I barely remember seeing Teys on the court.

Official stat sheet has Teys playing 1:16 for 1 TO

NBL box had him for 21 mins. Thought that was odd because I didn't see him play and assumed Childress would get his minutes.

I cannot stand Weekes with a passion.....but holy crap what a dunk!

Thought that was a very ordinary game from Sixers as there for well over a quarter Cairns could not hit a shot and we floundered with turnover and poor shot selection and no real system.
Shorter lesser extent DJ and Sobey only ones that looked like NBL top team type players.
Really believing in Shorter with good PG skills and shot selection who can rebound and actually defend.
How the hell is Hodgson in the Aust. squad as has been hopeless whole season and even so called strength rebounding got smashed early with their offensive rebounds against.
Why did Moore play so many minutes this game was very ordinary all round.
Where was our plan B when Fearne closed down our quick movement.

It was a strange game. I agree with @Bretts The Man that Adelaide weren't at their best but would add that I don't think the Taipans were either.

I thought the Taipans defended well for the most part but their offense was terrible for a lot of the game. Players seemed lost and didn't seem to know what was going on at different times. Fearne mentioned this after the game and seemed to be putting the heat on the estabilished players for this (given some of them have been in the system for at least a couple of years) but Scooch seemed to be the player copping it the most from Fearne during the game.

The last few seasons the Taipans have found Adelaide a difficult proposition up here in Cairns, to the point that Adelaide have now won 5 out of the last 7 games played here.

Past two wins over Cairns, the 36ers have switched a lot and limited how much they help, challenging Taipans players to score in one-on-ones v a mismatch and they have struggled.

It's smart coaching because Cairns create lots of good looks through their ball movement and cutting, but if you negate that they have to beat you a different way.

Carrera just 1 block? Swear he had at least 3

As above goal tends and fouls aren't counted as blocks.

Not a great game really Fearne won the coaching battle getting the game to be played at their pace but the Sixers just had too much talent to never look that threatened. Good to see Childress get some time but he definitely needs to get his legs under him to be fully implemented into the team. Shorter was pretty impressive last night too.
