Let's keep it short, the NBL Cup is here, the courts need floor mops, I'm sure the Hawks will oblige by turning the snakes upside down and using them as mops.
Boom! Hawks should wrap this one up. Ah John Cain, you've done it again.
Got my $10 tickets.
Should be a good double header.
Cairns desperate for a win to keep in touch.
Perth too will want to prove the doubters wrong.
My picks are Taipans by 6, United by 14
Rare day game on ESPN rather than Viceland for some reason.
My sportsbet Multi
Hawks to win
Tyler Harvey 15+ pts
Jessup 10+ pts
Cam Oliver 6+ boards
$2.10 odds.
Good to see Sportsbet alt points,rebs,asts
I'm all for celebrating the indigenous culture, but the lady who just spoke was out there for what seemed like 10 minutes.
They actually cut her off in the end!

Still plenty of good seats available... If you're just driving around.
Anyone have a clue what type of money Adel is on? Good God
I thought the breakaway required no one ahead of the ball?

Why isn't AJ on? Better than Bairstow. The twice hawks have beaten cairns bairstow wasn’t even playing!

Hot last 15 minutes from the Taipans. Very watchable.
was that jordan hunt on the bench for the taipans?
AJ not on ??, not certain why, Kelly has worked out that Noi thinks D fence is what you have on the side of your property but not required in basketball, he only played 12 minutes, he could be an nba player but not nbl. Adel you would think he's their marquee player and be be on at least $500g. He’s in most Australian sides on reputation but has done nothing to earn it.
Good win Cairns.

very enjoyable game to watch, Taipans could have thought it was to hard when down by 12 but played hard for the W.

"was that jordan hunt on the bench for the taipans?"
Hope not. Although he is a DP for the Taipans, he's playing for the Tall Blacks v Boomers tonight in Cairns. Big commute :D
Looks like Adel came here thinking he'd rip the NBL up. Wasn't he wrong. he will be here a while it looks, Boomers spot not his.

All the hype over these Sudanese players over the years, yet most have struggled even at nbl level.
Adel worst shooting performance in a game in NBL history according to NBL Facts.
Congrats Cairns on finally showing the league on marking Harvey by making him go right & taking him out off his comfort level
I like Jessup but Cairns marked him well to take him out of the game in the 2nd half
Adel is ordinary & thinks he is more than what he is, he should not make the Boomers but playing for the Australian coach will probably improve his chances
Thanks Yinka, there mostly street ballers that can score on bad defence.
"$10 tix" $5.95 book fee. That's a serious rip off.
Gorg needs to take responsibility for that loss.
Played adel way to much and AJ hardly sighted.
Players still getting caught behind screens defending 3s.
Rotation of the bench poor uet again.

Hawks way better when Simon takes the bulk of Adel's minutes. Simon now playing spot minutes and that also drops of the defense and rebounding when he is out of the game. Adel about as good as Noi with a poorer outside shot.

No Mojave? Surprised to see no mention of his absence here or through the league's game preview. Injured?

Thanks Gordon. Do you know if he travelled with the team to the bubble?
I was there for both games.
Agree with the other comments, Adel was awful
Deng Deng was better in every way and prior to thus year had done nothing. Adel comes in as the marquee Australian and he's been rubbish. Injury excuses are over, time to perform buddy
mojave king aussie yet or can the tall blacks call him up

@Ben - Mo travelled to Melbourne.
@294 - Mo has said he will play for Australia, not NZ, from memory.

Hate to burst your bubble, but SEM already figured it out a few weeks ago
