Final

Sixers 114
Kings 84

Crowd 5,970

I expect that will increase sharply with Childress

Only 30 off

I still can't believe this is true, the official statement on the Adelaide 36ers signing of Josh Childress.

The 6'8" forward spent last season in Japan then played in Ice Cube's Big3 tournament and was just waived by the Denver Nuggets prior to the start of the NBA season. Played two years previously with the Sydney Kings from 2014-16 and has played 8 years in the NBA. He arrives in Adelaide on Tuesday.

Andrew Gaze looked bereft of answers post match last night. They are a severely fractured outfit and on the surface it would seem they are only going to spiral further.

Must be big money and considering we wouldnt pay Randle a bit more, I'm just as surprised.

Nah I said there would be 6000 there last night

[Brodlach]

@MW

Reckon they will be expecting about 6000 tonight, has a 8000 capacity

You also said last week Melbourne wouldn't lose a game this season Brodlach , 12 minutes away from their second loss in 3 days

He's just been cut by Denver and most import spots around the world are already filled as this point so we're probably getting him on a discount.

Not a huge BBall fan but really enjoyed watching last nights game.

I did, can’t be right all the time.


Lost both (if they lose this one) since Goulding has been back. Coincidence?

True but that was a good prediction on the crowd, loving this NBL triple-header on today

Probably not too many cooks in the kitchen with Goulding back now. They got the chance to gel without him on the two trips here and the trip to the US and it's probably upset things a bit, only one basketball out there.
