First quarter finished.

Bullets up by 5.

Still no one cares.

Newsflash: Kerle has a yoga studio.

GRIDA. That kid's going to be an NBL great. No doubt about it.

Illawarra winning bench scoring comfortably.

Does seem to be a trend for victory this season.

Naar with a clutch three to keep it within one basket.

What a stupid pass from Hodgson. Gave Bairstow no chance

Wait what Cadee just passed up on an open three.

Re: the AJ foul I guess that's the way to stop a break now and not get an USF?

Conklin is a player I don't much care for.

The single most frustrating thing about the NBL - today no contact in the paint being whistled, 98% of games the exact opposite.

84-84 with 0:10 left Hawks ball.

Are Illawarra for real?? Giving it to Blanchfield for the game winner when he can't hit a barn tonight

Off Bairstow?

This metallica song has dragged on way too long.

LOL WTF was that, hahahaha.

Agreed, both are choke artists.

OT.

AJ Ogilvy, what the heck!

First he bitches and moans when Jett doesn't use his screen, even though Jett has two free throws- then Jett misses them! Why bitch and moan instead of encouraging a teammate!

Then he throws a shit inbound pass!

Get rid of him!

I thought the ball could only be advanced after a made basket? I learnt something new.

Good point about AJ f*cking with Jett's free throws and up to that point he was heating up. He has never had a heart muscle.

Absolutely pathetic final few minutes from the Bullets in regulation. Not even going to watch OT. Garbage.

Much of the talk this week has been that Lemanis is in negotiations for an extension. Unbelievable a guy so bad at recruiting a team over the last three years will probably get to keep his job.

Enjoy your playoffs spot Adelaide. And sadly it looks like we won't see you back in Brisbane next season Joey.

If the Hawks had Hodgson instead of Oglivy gee they would be better!

Hawks all but gone with their crappy points percentage.

F*** OFF Todd Blanchfield, disgraceful stuff when they team needed you and you put up nothing!! NBA dreams don't make me laugh man

Textbook from the Buzzas

They won but looked shit Manu. Adelaide for 4th please for the sake of quality in the playoffs.

Good news for the Hawks now I guess is that Naar and Grida should be playing the minutes that they've shown they deserve for the past few months.

I thought they looked great

Yeah, okay, that's exactly what you thought. You only show up after a tight win. Lucky Jett missed those free throws.

Haha just taking the piss son.

But in fairness, the Hawks are rocking two league MVPs, a Boomer and former NBA player, AJ big boy Ogilvy who was in the Boomers conversation for so long, Todd 'Alpha' Blanchfield who is one of the best scorers in the comp when he wants to be, human bowling ball and clutch time specialist Jordair Jett, all-time Saint Marys assist leader (I think) Naar, future NBL superstar Grida, Tim 'transition triple' Coenraad, Kevo 'never miss while I'm watching' White.

They're stacked.

Now you're taking the piss.

Damn I was watching on Fox.

What did they say/do? F'kin' amateurs those two who aren't fit for TV.

Forgot this game was on but looked up NBL app. In the "play-by-play", it kept showing "clock adjustment".

Sure enough, when I got home and looked up the game, Vain Mawberry was a ref.

Can the NBL fuck him right off next season?

Mayberry is a grandstanding flog, he is so bad.

BUT THE HAWKS NEED TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY for the wank they served up in this crucial game. Bullets were there to be taken but they didn't want it enough!! Give the keys to Naar and Grida they are the future and play with heart!!!

So the refs have video review. Surely the monitor they look at will be able to tell them exactly how much time had elapsed so they don't have to guess

Mayberry needs to be put on the clock. Ridiculous amount of time wasted tonight, and also WTF are the scorers bench doing not starting the clock when the crappy Hawks pass hit Conklin? Wake up! Although Video Vaughan loved them for it so he could soak up even more attention.

Yes they are.

Funny how they say it with such conviction, Perthworld

Illawara had to win it in regulation. Giving it to Blanchfield was a good move. Gliddon is a poor defender, but the fall away was a terrible shot. Blanchfield needed to go straight up put the foul in play and if anything toward the hoop a little. GET TO THE LINE.
