What's Hot/What's Not - April 27 Issue

DC hasn't shown the commitment so we'll all have to pitch in and cover the Hot/Not for him.

I'll start it. Add your own.

What's Hot:

Austin Smylie - Player of the Week and a chance to trial with the Wildcats.

Some movement in SA basketball - big name assets up for sale from Saturday. BSA walk away empty handed though - ouch.

The Panthers women, having lost a chunk of their roster to Southern, faced Erin Phillips and the Rockets on April 21 and came within three points. Jenine Browne had 36 points and 7 boards and Phillips had 11/10/7 for 41.5 HSA in 29 minutes.

Michael Zorich's 15 boards against Eastern. I swear he's about my height?!

The sausage sizzle at Morphett Vale. You get lost trying to find the stadium, arrive starving after forgetting to have lunch, they've run out of steak, but it's still a sausage sizzle - part of the Southern Tigers experience.

Cameron Wilson thought it was 2005 again, bagging 25 against West.

David Cooper racks up 112 HSA in two games, averaging 19 PPG, 18 RPG, 4.5 BPG while the Flames split their weekend.

Double Clutch loses 26kg and signs a one session deal to learn some gym tips from a newly accredited ex-Sixer personal trainer. Watch out ladies. (If you ever need to get rid of him, just say the three magic words: "casino. lap. dance" and he'll have to take a shower and wash out his eyes immediately.)


What's Not:

Petrol prices hit Ferrari owners hard.

The Panthers men drop three straight without Kosmider, all by 15 or more.

Chek Ng goes for his boating license, but misreads the only medical question in the test and gets it wrong. Every alcoholic in Adelaide is swimming out to his boat claiming they have hypothermia. It wasn't all bad news though, Todd Gower fouled out in 18 minutes against Southern. All of the "Todd! One more foul to go!" calls at Mt Barker on Friday weren't wasted.

The Sabres pumped the Mavs but Forman and Gower combined for 7 rebounds.

I should print Billy Hopkins imploring email here when he thought I should rate the Tigers a chance against Forestville. They lost by 40+. Lacking a bit of sizzle?

Brigid Bowley adds her fifth straight double-figure game as the Sabres win their seventh in a row, but Brad Newley shows no emotion whatsoever. None.

All you can eat salad bars.

Hot : Hoops SA remaining the dominant basketball forum in SA.

Hot: Bill Simmons (ESPN) critique on Pearl Jam and the NBA playoff's -this guy is Hilarious.

Hot - NBA playoff's, teams actaully playing good defence for more than 2 mins at a time.

Hot : Jason Dix - Mr Consistency amazing at age 63.

Not : Chris Clausen's shooting v Nwd 4/19 -- ouch ! Good player, just choose your shots better.

Not : People still whinging about Junior umpires.

Not : umpires new code of conduct for players and spectators -NOT including ABA and Div 2 - what a crock !! Like poor behaviour in those grades is somehow OK because you have more skill ???

Not : People bagging their own club and players on this Forum - get a life.

Not : Big Brother . A true cross-section of society hmmmmm ???

Hot:
Matthew Clarke making his return on the weekend. Good news for not only the Tigers men but the League.

Austin Smylie - no fuss just executes.

IKEA - more things then you can imagine that can be assembled with one tool.

Shiraz Viognier

NBA Playoffs - more then one Aussie in action don't forget!

Michael Zorich - 15 boards is a fine effort from anyone.

Nik Campbell - 14/12/7 against the Rockets, continuing a great season.

Steven Hastings - 7 Assists in 17 minutes vs the Mavs!

Matt Ryan - the most beautiful man in the cosmos...

NOT:

Petrol Prices

ABA Sides overtly stacked with Talent - see Sturt when Maher returns or Eastern when Holmes returns.

Adelaide drivers looking for the new IKEA store.

Ryan 'Fitzy' Fitzgerald

Nick Hambour - 2pts, 4rb, 2ass, 6 TO in 27 mins against the Mavs for a HSA of 2.0. When it's not your night it's really not your night - he will bounce back next week.

Play of the Week:
Nick Hambour trying to do a quick step past Agel Machar, tripping himself over and going face first into the ground. Able to get up red faced and run past his North bench trying to cover his face jokingly. It literally had everyone in the stadium in hysterics, even his own team mates.

Where's the video footage to put up on the net when you need it. He can add it to his "Slambour" videos :P

The signing of Jessica Foley

Bruce Carter and Wayne Jackson

Daniel Phillips finding his shooting touch against the Panthers

Friday night/Sunday afternoon double-headers - the way to go!

What's Hot: What's Not. It's so much easier to bag players/teams/privatisation sales/forum starters than to say nice things about them.

What's Not: What's Hot. Who cares who's playing well? That's what everyone is trying to do, right? Dishing dirt is so much sweeter.

Now look, Isaac - that's the second time you've mentioned that. I've got a family to feed, and bills to pay - who are you to question where I go for work?


If I want to travel to the casino to give lap dances
to a place far from where I live to work, isn't that my business? :)

"Hot:

Thank you so much for that!

I think the Sturt coaches would have their own WHAT'S HOT/NOT:

WHAT'S HOT: Matt Ryan and North Blonde jokes
WHAT'S NOT: Matt Ryan being away for 8 weeks on prac teaching in Naracoorte and not coming back to ref at Pasadena until the 24th of June.

My own personal WHAT'S HOT/NOT:
WHAT'S HOT: Awesome Man!
WHAT'S NOT: Jokes at my expense about blonde girls...(ok, RJ and a couple of others now about my latest exploit with a blonde girl - quite a hilarious story!)

There you go again Lyn assuming that he was talking about your club. He made no mention to which club he was talking about.

Totally agree. Last night was not good. If you are paying $9 you expect the little things like the lights, scoreboard, rings and the umpires to actually work.

Whoa, hang on. Matt Ryan's in Naracoorte for 8 weeks?

Matt, the local SEIBL restarts next week. If you're wanting to ref on Wednesday nights and don't mind a drive, flick Isaac an email and he'll pass it on to Mo. Would be good to have you out reffing.

Hot

Everyone in Adelaide talking about bball......any press is good press

State Champs ......bring it on

Lightning to rise from the rubble and become a real ongoing force and profitable (well hopefully)

The jibes that many of you dish out to one another in good fun, priceless (just wish I knew what some of the IN jokes were....but so be it). Keep it up.


NOT

The lack of knowledge of English written on this forum....prizelous!!

To many negative comments from Woodvile people often reading things not there.

Lack of a development focus (perceived or reality?) by the 36 ers coaching staff meaning we have lost some great talent over the past 3 years or so.

Bagging of umpires

Lack of ownership of their role by our club presidents over many years in ensuring the accountability of BASA...thus creating the current situation.

seems like people either love erin or dislike her for some reason. Not knowing the girl on a personal level i have a lot of respect for her game, as everybody should. Personal preferences shouldnt come into it. If she like chicks, fine, is she likes guys - fine. Its none of our business.
