Funny Sixers vs Hawks tonight

Just a reminder that Adelaide play Wollongong tonight at 7:40 AEDT. Your best bet for scores will be the NBL site from about 7:10.

It's the first time that the two teams have met in 2004/05. Darnell Mee is flying back from the US and hoping to make it in time for the game. Andrew Rice is a possibility, but could miss the game through injury. Brett Maher will undergo a fitness test before tip-off and will miss the game if there's any soreness in his calf.

The Hawks have won the last two meetings between the teams, but Adelaide has a 16-13 edge in Wollongong.

The odds are against Adelaide, literally. Bet $1 on the Sixers to win by 11+ and you get $11 back. You can bet on the game at SportsTAB.com.au -- click this link, then "Basketball" and look for the various betting options in NBL Wk 13. Get $3.60 from a $1 bet if the Sixers win.

Sixers without Maher vs Hawks withough Darnell.

Still a tough ask, but I think for the Sixers to win it will be pretty scrappy and a close one, so I'll leave the $11 bet alone this time :-)

If the Hawks start firing, which they are capable of with Campbell & Saville (Both being way off the mark this season IMO) then we could be in trouble.

Match-ups would have to be:

Farley vs Campbell
Ng vs Caporn
Holmes vs Saville
Rychart vs Ballinger
Rees vs Pilon

?

If both Mee and Maher are out, and Campbell doesn't have an extraordinary game (he's been missing his shots recently), then we're in with a solid chance I think.

I know we went with that starting lineup the other night, but I would much rather see (If Maher is sitting out)

Farley
Holmes
Forman
Rychart
Rees

Then you have;
Ng who can come in for Holmes or Farley
Cooper who can come in for Rychart, Forman or Rees (more than likely rees)

Now 20-28.

Wollongong Hawks 105 (Campbell 20, Saville 18, Mee 13)
Adelaide 36ers 81 (Farley 19, Maher 15, Rychart, Cooper 11)

"Wollongong set up the win with a blitzing first quarter, registering 43 points on 71 percent (17-of-24), including 7-of-9 threes as the shell-shocked 36ers had no answers..."

Boxscore

Maher played 33 minutes but only had 2 assists, so not his usual self.

Bad shooting nights for Rychart (4/16), Holmes (2/11) and Forman (2/8). Rychart had 6 boards (all offensive), Forman had 8 and Holmes had 5.

Cooper was a solid performer -- 11 points and 10 boards in 28 minutes.

The shooting percentages cost us the game. We had almost half as many fouls as they did, but shot at 33% to their 49%. They made 8 more threes than us which funnily gives the 24 point margin.

Just saw some highlights of Mee tearing it up on FOX Sports- he killed us!!! 2nd tripple double in a row!

Player of the Week again?
