7 in a row by this Friday perhaps he meant. I have tickets 3rd row court side. Should be a great night, hopefully there run of excellent form continues.

You seem to have all the Bball answers Gozu. Will I be on TV this Friday?

The NBL has announced that the 36ers have swept the monthly awards for January with Brock Motum named player of the month and Joey Wright was named coach of the month.

2nd row court side in the corporate area tonight. Cannot wait. Let's go 36ers!!!

Huge turnaround since his first month or so here. Really liking the overall balance and depth now, that's even without Johnson doing much yet. In terms of pure talent, this is right up there with any squad the 36ers have ever had IMHO and it looks like they're starting to hum along too.

I couldn't agree more and Jamar Wilson is playing better too. Having a guy like DJ is back is icing on the cake. On the playoff race I don't want to get too carried away but if we make the playoffs and Cairns manage to finish top even though they would have the home-court advantage I think that would be a very winnable series for us for a spot in the GF.

First things first 36ers really need to get over the injury depleted Kings tonight!

Edit: As I say that Angus Brandt has just been cleared to resume again tonight.

Also in other NBL stuff Melbourne United presented Dennis Rodman with a Utd singlet on his Australian tour the other day.

A lot comes down to whether they're spending more energy than their rivals now. You often see teams put on runs like this and then when the big games are on they haven't much left in the tank. Sometimes also teams feel like they've accomplished something and the incentive to lift isn't the same. So long as the side lift their intensity for the playoffs then I think they'll be very competitive against anyone.

Big win

Seven in a row

[LaughingKookaburra]

Flogging the shit out of the Kings. There would be some very nervous observers at the top end. As mentioned if we don't get it this year then keep this squad. It's quality.

[wristwatcher]

Too tall, too fast and way too good. When Larkin hit the 3 in the last minute the roof nearly lifted off the place. Great night, bring on the finals.

[Jim05]

Bloody hell, Perth beat Cairns 65-54

[king neptune]

If only they hadn't had that stupid 7 game losing streak, would be well entrenched near the top.

Coming good at the right time though, I don't think any of the other playoff teams are as strong as Perth were last season.

[Brodlach]

Looking at the fixture Adelaide have a harder run home than Melbourne. The game against Melbourne is going to be huge

[Gozu]

Melb Utd lost to Wollongong again tonight 82-76 to fall another game back behind the 36ers.

[Brodlach]

Great news!
