Best 2 point player in the League :-)

yeah i always hated brad hill as a player..way too many turnovers and studpid weak play, but the last two big games he has played have really impressed me, hopefully he can keep this up and strengthen the 36ers finals campaign!! looks like he has been doing a bit of weights on those arms too!!

"Officially Arrived" would probably be a better thread title. You can't be back if you were never there in the first place...

I agree though, his positive mind-set was very evident and great to see.

Agreed he does look a lot fitter and he played so much smarter than he has in the past. His giant 3 in a tight last few minutes was gold. Ninnis would love to see him just taking them on with his speed as ninnis himself used to break down opposition defence with his speed.

Still a average defender at best

His best game this year post arm injury, but definitely not his best game as a 36er. Dont forget his 30 odd points in Perth in his first season with us.

I noticed that both Brad and Aaron dibbled better on Sat night, both drove less flat out and to their defenders blind spots, and this is a definite Julius tactic which he has imparted on both of them. Julius has been saying he would teach some of these guys a few tricks.

Brad played a great game offensively, his 3 in the last quarter was a killer. Defensively he seemed to attract a lot more 'ball fakes' by whomever he was guarding, so obviously the word out of Victoria is that he is susceptible to those but i think he defense has improved heaps in the last few games.

I have loved watching his improvement, but with that comes more scrutiny from opposing coaches, so expect him to get more attention in ensuing games.

Seems to have lost the scowl (Bungey-style) he wore in previous seasons and is having a very good year. Thought he played well and was a vital contributor. If he can add a consistent outside shot to his game, he would be even more dangerous.

Will Oscar be home for Christmas?
Might be a good opportunity for Scottie to arrange a 3 point, defence & rebound clinic for the guise.

I wonder where he got the scowl from?

On that note, has anyone seen THE (Richard) assistant coach smile?

Could someone please explain how Anstey got 2 tech fouls in a row, but wasn't ejected from the game?

He racked up another 19-20 points when he came back in the 2nd half.

I would say a quarter of the crowd started waving him good bye when he lost it at the ref and got his second in a row. He then walked straight to the bench and didn't come on again in the 1st half. I thought maybe they didn't want to cause a scene by getting him to do the walk off in front of a pro home crowd, so I was shocked to see him start the 2nd half.

I know a lot of rules have & will change; however I was not aware that this had changed.

I remember way back when big Dean Utohf (sorry about the spelling Dean)for the Kings got ejected from his last game by getting 2 tech's. For the record big Dean was treated pretty shabby by the refs that afternoon, but Anstey got off lightly IMO.

I did see Richard smile once.....

possibly when Anstey was tech fouled?
or was it when Liam pulled his finger?

Brad Hill is good.

Do you think he reads this...?

"Still a average defender at best"

Has been MUCH improved in that area lately.

Cheers hereschenes.
