NBL Finals thread

[Bulldog1954]

My source for the scorers (some guy off www.gaze.com.au) was wrong

For the Kings Williams got 32 and 8, Nielsen 21 and 7. Franklin 16 and Heal remembered that he is meant to crumble in big games and that game 1 was an aberation by shooting 1 for 5 from 3 point land on his was to 14

For the mighty Tigers Bradtke dominated with 21 points and an incredible 20 boards, including 10 offensive boards, Gaze hit a lazy 25 including 6 triples, Copes got 22, Mottram 13 and Hoare 12

Unbelieveable. Sixers down 80-54 at 3 quarter time, staring down the barrel of their season.

Final score: Sixers 99 Wildcats 91. 45 to 11 final quarter.

Looks like Kings aren't the only chokers going around....Feaster missed 4 free throws with the score tight and 2 mins left....

Has to be one of, if not the biggest comeback from a 3 quarter time deficit. Amazing......

If Sydney are considered violet crumbles, what are our mob in perth considered after that absolute debarkle???

I dunno boys.....we got hot, turned up the D, while the Cats relaxed a little, as you do when you have a 26 point lead with a quarter to play. But you'd think you'd be able to stop the rot somewhere along the line.....and by the sounds of it you had the opportunities, but couldn't convert.....one thing's for sure though, when the Sixers get hot, when they get going, we're almost unstoppable.....Sunday will be interesting, hopefully we can continue the momentum, while the Cats will be looking to reassert themselves.

Cant believe that 4th quarter????

I can see it happening again. The same thing that has happened the last two years running. We lose our first round matchup but have performed well enough in the season to go through with the highest loser, only to see someone above us lose.

Watch for Kings to lose their series to the Tigers. Leaving it do or die for the Cats on sunday!

I think we can win it though.

GO WILDCATS!!!!

Nope, we are down 59-43 at half time

 

[Bulldog1954]

Down by 36 during the third. Embarassing

 

[mattyc2422]

**** poor that it ain't televised.
Sounds like we are playing a shocker though....

The Tigers need changes. I would imagine Bradtke, Gaze and Copes will play next season but we can't rely on them for ever.
Timmons should go, he has had injuries but even taking them into consideration his output hasn't been good enough, his work ethic is also not good enough. We should bring in an import for Timmons and if we have the cash a second import. Bring in a forward to replace Timmons and a guard to mould for when Gaze and - or Copes go. We should have also gone in harder for Rillie, apparently we were close to getting him, but Lindsay decided we had a good enough team and he might effect the sides chemistry. He ignored the fact that he is a great player, and is far younger then Copes and Drewy. If we have this side next season I would imagine we would scrape into the playoffs like this season, and then disappear pretty quickly

I believe the Tigers are scouting China with a mandate to bring back the best player possible.

They're hoping to get their very own Yao Ming are they?!

Bateer is big. I've heard contrasting reports as to how he's been doing in practice for SA, but he seems very, very raw.

Home court advantage against the Hawks. Let's go WILDCATS!!!

U wish.

That being said I wouldn't be devastated if Timmons was replaced

Make sense. Whats he average, 14ppg? Not good enough for an import, even if he's 4th scoring option.

 

[coxon]

kings go 1-0 up

a 124-107 away victory against the crocs in townsville...


Williams 26, Franklin 25, Nielsen 25


cheers ~
