2010/11 NBL season & off-season news

[RoosterMarty]

Kings collapsed in the last and Perth won by 3.

Sydney had a chance to tie on the buzzer but decided to go for a 2 instead, if they had hit it they still would have lost.

Kings collapsed in the last and Perth won by 3.

Sydney had a chance to tie on the buzzer but decided to go for a 2 instead, if they had hit it they still would have lost.

The Kings play among the least entertaining basketball in the competition. This weekend, they decide to go out and attack for a change, and nearly pinch two wins. Wonder if that may change their philosophy for the rest of the season.

Mind you, last night's 56-51 win by Cairns over Townsville wasn't exactly rivetting, which is odd for two teams that can play very attacking when they want to.

I'm gonna love watching Mitch Creek play over the next 15 years.

Can seriously play and will not back down from a confrontation.

i doubt we will see much off him in aus, good to see the sixers giving court time to gun youngsters!!!!

Was at the game.

Both imports were pretty disappointing. Howard slightly better than Shannon.

Shannon needs to realise its a team game and pass it around a bit more.

The Wildcats have signed Ater Majok as a temporary injury replacement for Jesse Wagstaff.

Another defeat from the jaws of victory for the 36ers. We should have been able to hold off Townsville in regulation, then again in overtime.

[Gozu]

Cairns have signed kiwi guard Lindsay Tait.

[Gozu]

The 36ers have placed Rhys Carter on injury waivers and intend to sign former Sixer Aaron Bruce who's been training with the team as his replacement. It's up in the air as to if they will have the papework in in time for Friday night's game against the Hawks.

The One HD game tonight is Perth at Gold Coast with the 36ers game in Melbourne against the Tigers to be shown on One Sunday afternoon.

[Gozu]

Bruce has been cleared to play tonight.
