Currently up 16-9, only five minutes in though. I expect the 36ers to win this game though, I think we have too many offensive options for them to handle. From what I have seen of the breakers so far i have been really impressed with Vukona when he has played. For the sake of my fantasy team I hope Bailey grabs half the teams rebounds and scores a bunch as well.

Is there anywhere that I can listen to the game?

I assume that it just wasn't built that way.

Oscar on court and makes a basket. Was sick on Sunday and Monday so hopefully he's recovered enough.

Up 29-14. 3:50 left in the quarter. Poor Breakers.


Awww, sharing:

Sixers ROLLING!! Up 20 New Zealand have no depth, this thing could be already over

9 first quarter points to holmes so far - continues to shoot better on the road so far this season.

4 assists for Maher - must be loving it!

Everyone has scored bar Hambour and Gower who haven't seen the pine.

As someone said earlier... poor breakers

Up 44-23 at quarter time.

Hambour-time.

just a lazy 44 points to open up the first quarter with - ouch! I think that is one off the sixers all-time high or is that season high? (heard something like that mentioned a while back??)

Sixers strength this season continues to be the great, solid play of holmes, forman and hill - hashy to return as well. There aren't many teams that boast as good as players as we have 9 deep.

Was it Mcquade who was saying that the breakers defense was all that and more?? This is the sixers we're talking about here!!!

The breakers better sub some of the fans in...

just hope the sixers finish this off.

can you believe it 50-25 after 14 mins of play - bring on the hambour and gower machines!!!

Adelaide scored 57 in a quarter against Newcastle in 1998. Newcastle had 72 in the same period. (According to the NBL media guide.)

We've had 50+ quarters four times I think.

Melzer is injured and off court but expected back.

Don't think NZ remembered to show up.

Go the Sixers! EVERYONE to score 20!

dam the refs must good over there they must love us we have 3 fouls in nealy a half of ball

03:16 36ERS - Offensive rebound [12] J. Holmes
03:14 36ERS - Offensive rebound [12] J. Holmes
03:09 36ERS - Offensive rebound [12] J. Holmes

Haha.

Bailey racking up turnovers.

All misses!

Maher for a triple double anyone?

Jacob been hanging out with Bizzy to get tips on stat padding?

Out by 30 points. Wow. Five players in double-figures at half-time!

Maher and Coops on a meagre 9 and 8 points respectively at the half. Pull your socks up boys! It is not like they are playing defence! :-)

Rebound count is huge! I guess NZ won't have much of a chance of getting many more boards if we keep shooting at the clip we are!

My tip - 7+ players with 15+ points and the gower and hambour machines to get some stuff on their stat line...

And I only tipped sixers by 5... crap.

Third Q stil to come though!!!

Bring on Hambour and Gower! On that topic, how is Gower allowed to dress? He's not a contracted player is he? Is Nash on injury waivers or something?

Thinking about that, the offence is obviously ticking over quite nicely, so who's minutes should Nash get on Sunday? Oscar's? Jacob's? I hope not!

Damn you Sixers! Someone tell Phil we need Rees, Cooper, Gower, Hambour and Holmes on at the same time.

I need there to be less than 204.5 points scored or I lose my bet.

Oh well, Sixers win, I'm happy. You don't need two kidneys anyway.......

130 beats 70 is under 204.5...

True. It's still possible I suppose.

Pray for me people.

Go Todd getting some minutes...

Sixers returning to evils ways - can't buy a good third quarter this year! Lead eroded by 11 already...

Gower grabs an assist!

Sixers steady, up by 26. Update: Make that 35! Sixers opened the quarter with a 9-0 run courtesy of the usual three.

I have to admit though I got a little worried when they cut the deficit back to 19.

Cheers!!!

Did someone criticise the Sixers for not finishing teams off? Seems they have a point to prove. Start the 4th with a 9-0 run!

Holmes must be looking for a personal best from the arc this evening. Another 3!

Up by 40. Demolition job. Maher now has the double-double: 14 points and 10 assists.

McQuade predicted Adel by 2 - don't quit your day job buddy!

Where is Hambour? Is he even there? I ask as he didn't dress last Friday.

Get Maher back on for 5 rebs - trip double!
Or 6 assists for Rychart.

Does anyone know if any player in league got a t/d yet this season?

Adelaide out by 40 8.33 to go. It must be a clean game or the refs are letting them play as Adelaide has only been called for 7 fouls on 7 different players. New Zealand have only been called for 15 fouls as well. 22 for the game with 3 and a half quarters done

Ryan, he's prob running back to change room to don the togs!

Issac
Do you get your updates from the NBL Live scores???

Don't think Maher is going to get the chance to pull one of his trusty clutch plays tonight :-(

Ryan, I believe he is there. Not sure why he hasn't been put on yet. A coaching mystery.

wak, no triple doubles yet I don't think.

Anon, watching the NBL scores, yes, and earlier was checking the commentary on the OzHoops forum posted by a couple of people watching the game in NZ.

obviously with 5 to go and 40 up its still too close put on hambour give me a break

Cheers Isaac.

Looking ahead, hope Sunday is packed to stick it to Bullets. Will MacKinnon choke at the Dome as usual? I predict huge game from Maher Sunday.

To Breakers cred, everyone has scored. Nice experience gained! ;)

is hambour suited up????????????

XY, maybe you could do a clutch play here on the forum in Maher's honour?

damm todd wats with the fouls and i doubt nick suited

Breakers on 4 - 0 run... oh no!

Looks like that's the game. 91-121. Win by 30.

how frustrating is it that we couldn't get to watch it...
What a fantastic win.

Does Todd get the foul stamp of approval?

Damn Coop all he needed was a tip in for a double double.

Great win for the boys and much needed percentage.

any 1 else her think brad hil ROY

He can't be. Had something like 2 too many games last year.

Cheers!!!

Since there's of few of us on this post, check out how the Hoops SA league is doing in stats on the Sportal site compared to other leagues...

login, 'rankings' tab at top, then scroll down ... not bad!

is that rite wat a load of shit hes youg barely played last year he deserves it

Great win! I'd say that they are tough to beat at home but we've won about 4 in a row there so I won't.

I would hope that Hambour wasn't there as if he didn't get into that game it is bullshit.

Gower's minutes really paid dividends.

Holmes: 3 three pointers, very unusual for him.

Bring on Brisbane!

Holmes seems to be in great form at the moment.

I think it's crap too if Hambour was there and didn't a game.

Ozhoops has the win as 121 - 94.

awesome win my the sixers. Everyone is contributed in this game. What a load of shit by Matt Maquade on nbl.com..2 pt win for us..hahahahaha. any way Holmes looks to have matured into his natural game. Which i might add is brilliant in aba level. He was shooting 3's all night long for the mavs.Well not all night. He has averaged about 18 points a game this season away from home. But i think he has got his confidence and this should be the turning point in his career. GO THE SIXERS >>>BRING ON THE BULLETS......COME ON SAMMY BOY U CAN CHOKE ONE MORE TIME FOR US CANT U? lets get revenge for last years quarter final.

At the Academy launch dinner, I seem to recall Maher saying something about Hambour having a neck injury last week. Maybe he was still a little tender from that?

Anon #55159 that's a bit unfair don't you think. Gower is a decent player and so is Nick. It was Phil's call and I'm sure Nick isn't holding to many grudges.

Isaac when I spoke to Nick himself last week his neck was giving him a fair amount of trouble. Maybe they took him over thinking he could maybe get some minutes but was too sore?
