I would DEFINITELY recommend people catch the replay of this game when it is on.

Wildcats are storming home in the 4th after being down by 20+ during the 3rd, and down 17 (i think) at the start of the fourth.

homicide- respect!!!! i love how devendorf and williams gave it to that bloke on the sideline!!! well done tigers- hung in there and knocked the cats off!!! i am looking forward to the twitter comments!!!

Corey Williams...

Homicide is a complete arrogant prick. He was quite condecending to the girl trying to interview him at the end. Thank god he never came to Adelaide, he'd be harder to cheer than jacob Holmes's jumpshot! I hate both teams, and great to see Redhage starting to struggle cos he is a jerk, but not so obviously compared to this assclown.
Besides that, heck of a ball game! Majok can jump out of the gym with those hops! Surely he will stay with the Cats for the remainder of the season? Surely they will take him over a import...UNLESS they have someone very solid in mind.

homicides twitter has all tweets protected-booo

What a great finish. Didn't expect it to get that close, but Ater Majok made a huge difference in that last quarter. I hope he stays in the league somehow - he has tremendous athleticism and will make a lot of highlight plays at both ends.

Sixers take note: when you are down big, that is how to finish! Great heart, execution, self belief and shooting from the Cats.

Yeah, Homicide and Devendorf look like they can be arrogant pricks, but I do like the way Homicide creates a bit of controversy and fires everyone up. Definitely good for the league, though I too prefer to have someone a little classier on my team who is good enough to shut these guys mouths when they come to town! :D Ah, the good ol' days...

I think once Wagstaff returns Majok can only come back in for Perth if there is a season ending injury to another player. But as I said in another thread there is some confusion about that rule.

Great win by the tigers however should have won by much more. Williams might be arrogant but as said before he's good the the league and he's certainly turned the tigers team around. Hopefully he sticks around..

Beantown agreed. Ive never really liked Homicide, and call it tall poppy syndrome, hating whatever, BUT i prefer the way Brett Maher and Cat went about it, they were winners, they did it with class. Corey has borderline add the way he needs to constantly be in the spot light and the way he goes about it is odd. Ahh if only he were playing when Dorge, Utof (wrong spelling), Cat and Vlahov were on the court, he'd shut up quick smart me thinks.

Oh yeah Majok was a gun. He'll only get better. And man he can jump.

refs have been screwing everyone lately. poor referring at all games. Seems like they are all noobs.

I think the ref was just refing the game the way it should've been refed. yes, they screwed the cats this game because they were actually making calls.

always liked Majok's upside. don't think NBA is realistic but definitely a special player for this league.

I agree with you anon 303044. Have no sympathy for the Cats on anything to do with reffing. They get away with a LOT of holding and hacking and when teams get annoyed and retaliate, thats when Redhage breaks out his academy award routine. I do like a lot of their players and they are really well coached, but I also dream of the day when refs call a cleaner game.

So no-one has answered my question about the betting plunge on the Tigers tonight. Am I right, did too many pile on the Tigers and they had to suspend betting? Interested to know - or are all you guys betting virgins like me? ;-)

Beantown- with your relentless question on centerbet odds, I just realized how little did the commentator update the odds during this game

Relentless? Thats me LOL... Like Damian Martin when he sees a ball in someone elses possession!

Luke Nevill is a baller, he isn't NBA material but could see why they were interested, has very nice touch around the basket, Majok needs to add leg strength to defend him properly though, not worried about upper body, but his legs need to get thicker and have a wider base. Devendorf and Homicide pair really work well together.

Beantown, if you live in Australia, you can't bet live on the match during play, except for half time. The Tigers were at $5.50 at one stage. I put a bet on just before the game started, so they were open until tip off. Too bad i didn't back the Tigers!

I believe Luke Nevill has the tools to make NBA, he has a great touch, athleticism for a guy of his size. what's keeping him away??? his mentality and attitude really hurts him in many ways.

when you are 7'2 with the tools he have, not in the NBA, there's really something wrong with him

thursday we had practice and thered a banner with lisch and Martins full body on it. As u all kno I don't respect perth bcuz they act tuff

Was at the game, cats got them selves into to big of hole in the 1st half, great come back, crowd was so loud in the 4th qtr, I'm telling you if that had there regular court side announcer Lachy Reid they would of got over the line, he is the best 6th man in the league.
Homicide is a genius on & off the court, need more of him.

Homicide is a out rit prick!!!! Like to see the foul count b4 the 4th!!! Sum 1 was licking billys balls to nyt!! May b Larry n the nbl!!!! Cant take it perth @ good!!!!! Still goin bak 2 bak!!!!

I would say Homicide is doing what he wants...lighting up the internet airwaves..getting on websites, newpapers...

Twitter is going off, now this forum...Facebook is jumping...Daniel Eade will be writing..Cat's GM is jumping...and all for the NBL to be back in the papers..

get a grip bitches..this shit is what the NBL and basketball in Australia need...NEWS

I was at the game toight and Rob Beveridge was out coached tonight. The only time the cats made in road into the lead the tigers had was when Majok or Trueman was on court. Shawn Redhege is not a center Steve Weigh is not a pf any team would dominate those guys in that position. when the Cat made a big run at them Majok was dominating at both ends he was making Luke Nevill look like he shouldnt be there and then was sub out with about 3 min to go of the game but returned a minute later but the damage was done. They wildcats should stop thinking about signing anouther import and sign Majok for the rest of the season caues once this guy finds his feet in this league he will dominate it

Still can't explain why I like Homicide, but I do. I'll heckle the living shite out of him at the Dome. But I like him.

Redhage is a disgraceful flopper, as we all know. Even more disgraceful was the one ref who kept falling for it. Props to Homicide for letting Redhage know about it.

Still don't like the way Nevill's being used. So many times we see him dominate the first 8 minutes, only to be pulled for the Burston/Helliwell combo and not be seen until over half-way through the 2nd quarter, at which point he seems to struggle to get back into the form he had at the start. He could easily put up Khazzouh-like numbers in the right situation. He just needs to stop trying to make stupid interior passes when he is already within a metre of the rim and can get a higher percentage look himself.

For anyone who made trades on their Dream Team yesterday or earlier in the week, I'm very sorry but you've missed out on the Majok gravy train! He was just added this morning at $65k and will go up immediately. You get 20pts for blocks alone and you don't have to do a lot else :D

Great game to watch. Tigers Zone was awesome and disrupted Perths offense.

I got on Tigers with that 1-10 margin on sportingbet paying $6.50 so was happy with that. Also got on tigers 1-10 and gold coast 1-10 multi payin $34 but gold coast screwed me there

i thought Majok got Completely outplayed tonight...so what if he gets a couple of blocks....he was getting scored on and abused down low all game!

Sooooooo all in agreeance Homicide is a childish wanna be Marbury type, that could have a screw loose? Can he play? yeah... Is he a 'professional'? Nope.

What has happened to Damian Lyons since the ejection of the coach. Unusual the NBL flew in two referees for this game.

The article about his graffiti incident is here:

Complicated situation. I love what he did - is funny, revved people up and is good for the game for sure - but there's an aura of disrespect and arrogance about the way he does it. Hated the way he treated the poor court reporter - girl's just doing her job and he could've won us all over if he'd done that interview the right way, with respect and owning up to having a bit of fun at the Wildcats' expense.

Wildcats need to get over it. Surely we're not all upset about someone signing their signature on a banner? Agree about the Majok comments. The cat is raw but at the minute, the Wildcats look like the 36ers MkII without Daniel Johnson on the bench. They are more undersized than Nick Nack in The Man With the Golden Gun. Redhage has been in a funk the last two games but don't worry, I know why - it's because the Pisces signed him to their NBL Fantasy team. Damn it!

As for those who are hating on Corey ..... in a way, this is just a mini-Julius stomping episode. How did that make you feel at the time? How did it make you feel six months later? Move on. As for Corey, incidents like this will see him out of the league before long as Australia doesn't tolerate this sort of stuff and the "choke" signal to the fans wasn't a good idea. Interesting that Anthony Mundine follows Corey on twitter. Enough said.

Great game and an excellent reason to stay up late on Friday night.

Great finish to the game.

Devendorf and Williams very good for the Tigers, but I do agree that Nevill is totally underutilised. Nevill could be putting up better than Khazzouh numbers if gien the ball...

And I got on the Tigers and won a tidy sum, plus I picked them to win the the tipping :)

Very much enjoyed the game and made the call at half time that the cats would come back and make a game of it. Mind you i was a bit worried about it at the end of the 3rd!

Your comments on Corey are spot on for me. As arrogant as he is, he's a baller and i cant help but love watching him play. However as soon as he steps onto the floor at the Dome all that goes out the window. I very much admire his ability to trash talk and consistently back it up but the way he treated that female reporter at the end of the game wasnt good enough. I understand his enthusiasm in sticking it to the perth crowd but a little class shown to the reporter would be nice.

all in all a great game to watch for the majority, very glad I continued to watch after 3/4 time!

Great game - Homicide played great. I hate Perth and stupid bloodnut Redhage - I was so happy watching him give it to those 2 feral supporters at the end. Classic!

Spot-on, Moses. Most of the time his antics are gold for the rivalry and for the league, and for that reason alone I was stoked to see him back in the league this season.
My only criticism of this whole episode was the way he handled that post-game interview.
OneHD has basically given this league a new lease on life through its generous multi-year deal, and I strongly believe that it is the obligation of every player & staff member to accommodate them in return (within reason, obviously).

I don't mind Corey giving his twitter a plug, but at least let the girl get through a few questions as well. Players must not snub the tv network that helps pay their salaries! OneHD doesn't spend all this money covering the NBL only to have the rare juicy stuff lost entirely to twitter.

Aside from that though, Homicide was superb, the Tigers as a team continued their improvement, and the Cats got a reality check.

Surely NBL player contracts will have media stipulations in them now OneHD is on board, like the AFL

Can someone elaborate on the post game interview. I heard him say "Don't even worry about it sweetie, I got a lot to say", when the grim old 'End of recorded program' sign came up.

(Mod: Please get lost.)

Contracts don't mean everything though - if he really wanted to go, he could get out of it.

Ill be very suprised, if he leaves!!! Just makok 2 Stay!!!!

Billy scrwed perth last night hard!!! Like him & crouch screwed us in game 3 gf in 93!!! Gaze poofs got there 1st title!!!

Dont know if anyone said this yet or not because I only read half of the thread but Majok cannot sign for the rest of the season not because of injury waivers but because he already has a contract in europe to go to which he signed before coming in for the wildcats.

Also I think Corey Williams is an undercover actor placed by the NBL to boost ratings. Why does he get away with the things he does? The refs let him do more than they let Andrew Gaze get away with!

Majok only had a 2 month contract (that was the length from memory) in the Turkish 2nd Division with Isikspor which has since expired and not been renewed. Therefore he is not tied to any European team at the present time, and hence why he took the short term contract opportunity at Perth.
