It is time for BP3 to rip a big one. Giddey and Paul young and old to become the firm...taking care of business. Feeling real buoyant about this game... Sixers by 15.. Jack Macca McVay to have his way again. Lazy 20 for the Hungry Jack - hawks minus Harvey - sad but no chance...

Crocker out, it's time Brandon Paul to shine..

What's the best the Sixers make Deng Adel look All NBL this game?

You would think the Sixers comfortably but then Max Darling will probably end up having the game of his life or something.

Sixers by 3

Henry looking professional in his t shirt lol.

Back to his smart looking polo now.

McVeigh should start over Pinder.

Can we trade Deng Adel for Pinder?

Pinder smarter than Adel lol.

Humpries can barely put a sentence together. Probably lucky he has basketball for now

How are the hawks up? Lol

Start of 3rd quarter is the best 5 minutes of basketball AJ has played in years.

Seriously, why would Goorjian call a timeout when his team was on a 20-3 run and had just forced another turnover?
It completely brought us back into the game.

Agree Hendo. Crazy.

What should be an easy Adelaide win isn't so certain

Hawks on paper at the start of the season looked a deep squad until the form revealed Deng Adel was actually a development player.

A very highly paid development player

-18 FFS.

-18 in a close game is hard to do.

Massive game from DJ while Adel is lifting. -28 now.

I can't believe as well calling a time out..to rest his player! Really? Sub the player coach

Hawks shambolic.
Good to see Grida back. I know Ogilvy was originally signed to replace him.
What will happen when Bairstow and Harvey return?
Does Ogilvy have to go?
There are worse players than him wearing Hawks colours.

Without Harvey and Jessup pushing through gingerly. Adelaide Was never going to be a collapsed rectal intestine to the extent of playing the cats in the last half of the cup..
Adelaide are a fun first q team to watch, Paul without any calls tonight on those drives a bit rough and I think the rest of the teams lack of notice of him being wide open.....frustrating to watch.

I don't know who got fooled, Goorj or management but they are just as big a basket case on a lot more dollars.

Makes me wonder how Thon Maker would go in the nbl. Or even Jonah Bolden for that matter.

I'm sure I read on here those two and Adel are shoe ins for the Boomers.

All these Sudanese players who have been pumped up over the years as the next Durant etc. cannot really recall one actually coming close to doing anything to back it up in the nbl. Thon maker probably not even drafted if his real age was known before nba draft.

Thons fly kick in that fight vs the Phillipines gets the rose from gorj surely...

The Paul frustration translates to a live viewing as well. So many times the guys looked like they did not even see him. The fact that we only have like 1 play for him also does not help. That said we won and that's not something we can say has happened for a while now.

Speaking of gorj....
aside from cotton naturalising,
Would he be on the radar to give patty rest minutes and be that spark plug off the bench? Is this too far fetched of an idea? I know size is a liability but if gorj is that good of a coach he would know how to hide him in the defence.... just a thought

From memory,
In the last few Boomers medal games, scoring in clutch moments down the stretch of the medal rounds has been a hair putting exercise. Patty can only carry this team so far. (Not taking away from the important role everyone else has. But to have a 2-3 quick fast buckets surely would help get over the edge at least to place a medal for the first time....

Sorry for posting on this thread, just had a gorj tangent that I don't feel is as good as he once was... Adelaide looked fun, been good to see some the first 1/2 vs the cats ☄️

That third quarter

A win is a win. Giddey close to a triple-double and birthday boy DJ actually crashed the glass. Paul was getting shutdown by Justin Simon.

Every team having to play so many games ie 3 in 6 days is ridiculous and shoows how pathetic the NBL is being run this year.

The people saying Goorj has lost it due to that timeout obviously weren't watching the 99 grand final series v the 36ers.

He has always had a tendency to call timeouts when his team is on a run.

Pinder Defenitely had his best game as a pro last night
