Interesting choice, thought Melbourne v Cairns may be a better one. Will stay up for this one though, worth watching for Khazzouh v Schenscher.

I'm actually a bit disappointed they chose not to do the Breakers at Wildcats game but can understand with One being based in Sydney much easier just to do the Kings home game.

Unfortunate news that the 36ers have chosen not to sign a replacement for Ballinger either.

Blaze 96
36ers 77

36ers out-rebounded 45-26 tonight too.

I actually didn't mind watchin the game on one.
Always good when it's high scoring for watching

Patty Mills has been released by his team in China and they've accused him of faking the injury so he could be released from his contract early to try and return to the NBA:

He averaged 26.5 ppg in his 12 games with Xinjiang.

Wouldn't be the first time Mills has faked something

Adelaide seem to have an intrinsic problem with guarding the opposition properly in last terms. After keeping Taipan Andrew Warren largely under wraps in the first three terms, he was allowed to drain three 3-pointers in the last term with amazing space to be found each time.

Townsville coach Paul Woolpert will face the NBL Tribunal after being ejected from the Saturday night game against Wollongong for abusive language and unsportsmanlike behaviour. In this match, former 36er Jacob Holmes scored 13 points and brought down 16 rebounds to go with his seven assists, yet couldn't find a spot in the Adelaide roster this year.
