Gee, only two Melbourne games?

Otherwise, all pretty fair and equitable. Wouldn't mind seeing a bit more of the Taipans, but it all evens out well.

Too mank Kings games for my liking, being a Crocs fan CK I would've thought you might be a bit miffed about the lack of love from One HD.

[Gozu]

The Blaze/Breakers game is about to start on One.

Also in other news the Kings have signed Patrick Sanders as their new import and have also released Luke Kendall.

Good spot, I missed that one. That IS a lot of the Kings - a team who, so far, don't exactly play thrilling basketball . Had hoped it might be Melbourne v the Crocs tomorrow night, haven't seen much of the latter this year. Looking forward to seeing how Homicide goes against the old team.

[CK]

Results according to script largely so far, with Townsville smashing a bitterly disappointing Melbourne 94-66, Wollongong downing Sydney 89-72, and the Breakers notching the even century against Gold Coast's 79. The Blaze are continuing to reel from their injury list and the Tigers already face an uphill battle to avoid the wooden spoon.

Would expect Cairns to take it up to Perth in the first half tonight (tipping off on One HD at 6.30pm), but be overrun late by the Wildcats.

[RoosterMarty]

Cairns did it easy in the first half. Another pretty ordinary game on TV though, Perth have been terrible at home.

Cairns 35-26 at half time, very low scoring.

[Freo HeaveHo]

IMO from what i have seen this year Perth are gone .... not half the side they were last year

The 36ers have released import Craig Winder.

[CK]

The 36ers have released import Craig Winder.

Not before time. Lacked any sort of defence last night and moderate offensively. The problem is, at this stage, they may have to go almost sight unseen on an American import, or recycle an option released by another club.

I wonder what Julius Hodge is up to?

[bloods08]

What about John Gilchrist if he is fit?

[Gozu]

Good news. I think Gilchrist would still be injured. From memory when the injury happened late last season I think it was a 12 month job and supposedly he's gone back to college over in the US.
