2016/17 NBL Season/Off-season news/Boomers

Stuff me, that was a shocker.

Stuff me, that was a shocker.

It was ridiculous, Cotton hit 2 of the 3 free throws to put the game into OT and Perth went on to win it.

The Brisbane Bullets today announced they've released import Jermaine Beal. Not surprising really his form has been ordinary all season and his attitude in recent games has been poor. Big fall from grace for the 2014 Grand Final MVP.

No doubt Gleeson will still find something to whinge about

[LaughingKookaburra]

They are rubbish anyway. Won't do much come finals of they make it. Bunch of flogs who have always bought titles.

Qtr time

Kings 28
36ers 25

[Brodlach]

Very slow start but started to get their mojo back towards the end. Jacobson impresses me more and more each game

Phaaark me Carfino is shit to listen to. For 20 years he's been the most anti Sixers commentator, coupled with him doing his beloved Kings games - it's unbearable.

Also the Cairns Taipans veteran and two-time Olympian Mark Worthington has announced he's going to retire at the end of the season. He won an NBL championship in 2009 with the South Dragons and also won a championship in Germany in 2010 but will probably best be remembered for his Andrew Vlahov-like defensive enforcer type role with the Boomers at two World Championships in 2006 & 2010 and of course two Olympic Games in 2008 & 2012.
