2015/16 NBL Season/Off-season news/Boomers

Sucks to lose to that team. I hate that weasel Chris Goulding something fierce.

That stood out to me last night too and I think the reason Goulding carries on like a pickle against us is because of the relationships with Joey/Gibson/Petrie. Normally I enjoy watching Goulding play but against us he turns into a punk not just diving all the time but goes all one on one trying to do highlight reel stuff every play all the fadeaway 3's he jacks up with a defender in his face.

He's got NBA talent but can get psyched out too easily.

How long until an import gets dumped? Ones old and ones injured.

Not much longer according to this article in The Age today!

Adelaide 36ers coach Joey Wright admits he may have to replace import Kenyon McNeail as he battles an ongoing shoulder injury.

How many straight years now of not getting it right with the imports? So important to get quality in those spots yet the 36ers always get a dud.

Talk of Adelaide signing ex-NBA player Ben Gordon. That would be a great pick up in my opinion. Someone who could score lots of points at this level. I might even go watch a game if he is playing.

It's a tough gig trying to sign Import players. Obviously a lot of work goes into scouting them then contacting them about coming to Australia. Most are really keen to come, then they start talking dollars and the import goes cold on the idea.

Boti Nagy says no truth to the Ben Gordon rumour.

[Brodlach]

McNeail been officially released

[Brodlach]

Playmaker Jerome Randall is the new import and from what I have read is meant to be a gun

[Gozu]

It hasn't been officially announced yet but all the talk is it's Jerome Randle, 5'9" combo guard who put up good numbers in Turkey last season, one of the best leagues in the world.

Am i the only one who read that, too short to play 2 guard, shoots too much to be a point guard.

I didn't mean it that way but he is a PG that can score and going off of his stats in Turkey IMO I think he could potentially be a very good signing.

A couple of other big announcements today Corey Webster has re-signed with the NZ Breakers and they've kept Everard Bartlett on by releasing Duane Bailey.

Also the league has announced Boomers coach and three time NBL championship coach Andrej Lemanis will be the coach of the new Brisbane Bullets team. The Bullets return next season.

The 36ers officially announce the signing of import Jerome Randle.

Breakers currently up 16-10 against the Kings in Auckland. Corey Webster looks like he means business in his first game back!

[Gozu]

Good news for the 36ers Jerome Randle has been cleared to play against Cairns tonight

[Gozu]

Randle looking good so far and big Sobey dunk to end the half.

36ers up 54-43 at half-time.

[BoundaryRider84]

Here come Cairns. Back to 5, need Randle but has 3 fouls

[Brodlach]

Look ordinary when Walker is on, not a fan of his.


Will be lucky to lead at three quarter time

[Gozu]

I'm over these second half slumps from the Sixers.

36ers up 67-65 at the final break.
