I read somewhere it was the first time ever that the Tigers lost a game after losing the previous by 25 or more points.

Was a good game. Maxey and Ubaka make quite a good tandem.

i am sorry but there was no way in the world there was that many people there, the stadium looked empty.

The tigers are a real concern they only had one option which was worthington. I suggest an import will soon be delivered to the tigers.

That Knight injury looked like there was nothing in it. I was very suprised when he came back out with crutches. "Chewie" looks fast, but holds the ball for wayyyyyyy to long in offence. Not sold on Maxey yet, wait till he comes up against some defense.

That tigers team is seriously undermanned. When you consider that they've lost Barlow, Anstey, Ere, Thomas and DMac from last season and now Knight is injured, they're going to have to get an import if they want to get off the bottom of the ladder.

The sixers should beat them easily next week, particularly if Knight is out.

Wollongong on top of the ladder?

Melbourne on the bottom?

Up is down! Black is white! Cats living with dogs - MASS HYSTERIA!

Tigers are wofeul right now. Team chemistry is lacking and they lack scoring punch.

I have been sensing for the past 1-2 weeks an import will not be far away.

Missed 90% of the game because of my retarded Foxtel Box. Useless Foxtel.

Tigers + Bottom = happy X

Maxey looks fantastic. Kinda unco sometimes but he gets the ball in the rim.
