And both teams are paying over $3 for a win by less than 10 points, so you could bet on both theoretically - I don't think it will be a blowout personally, so get on board!

West Sydney over 25. Whats that paying??

West Sydney half and full time?

My current bets and the payout:

Crocs by 11+ (22)
Slingers by 11+ (16)
Dragons-Bullets half-full (6)
36ers-Breakers 205+ (1.90)
Pigs-36ers 199 or less (1.90)
Crocs line +12 (1.90)
Bullets line -4.5 (1.90)
Breakers to beat 36ers (2.35)

I reckon the Pigs will win tonight in a bit of a sludgy, close game.

Ive got a multibet on 6ers and bullets tonight. Paying 3.01 to the dollar. CMON 6ers!

19/19 a piece with 2:30 left in the first..

I think Watkins must have been on the drink or something when he described Horvath as mediocre. Horvath has been wopping ass all season and I reckon he'll have another doozy tonight against his old coach.

Sixers by 10

Sixers by 7

Copeland on fire hitting threes and Farley IS BACK!!! He hit the first three of the game followed by another! Horvath is great as usual. Agaion Sixers in foul trouble but the same applies for the Razors.

Horvath 15
Farley 14
Copeland 14
---------------
Sutton has 4
---------------

sh*t!

7-0 for the Razors.

55-55 all at half time.

Looks like Nash having another explosive game

They have now gone on a 10 point run and we are down 74-66!! fantastic..and copeland and horvath are on 4 fouls each..

Nash still a focal point

Nash off, we are coming back at them

SIXERS IN FRONT BY 2! 14 SECONDS TO GO!

116-114, COME ON, 14 seconds left

We're up by the way

We are up by 2 with 10 secs to play as Nash re=enters the game

squid will be happy - nash back on for final 10 secs lol

Did you say Nash back on?!!!!!

If they've got that right WE WIN!!!! WE WIN!!!! WE WIN!!!!

my live scores just shit themselves - well done nbl - again you are sensational!

Looks like it's all over folks, 116-114 come from no where victory. Copeland, Horvath both huge for 31 and 29 points respectively. This is huge.

Don't tell me, Nash won it with a huge block with seconds to go

Live scores has us winning 116-114 with Farley hitting the game winner with 14 secs left in the game

You beauty! We looked goooone!

HUGE last quarter from Copes to finish with 31 and a couple of late points to Farley to seal it!

YOU BEAUTY!!!

SIXERS WIN!!! Lanard Copeland, you are a legend! Willy Farley gave it to the pigs once again. Nick Horvath, unstoppable once again.


Bring on the Breakers!!!!!

wow - that was exciting even just watching online.....Copes was huge in the last - dare i say it he did a Maher and carried the team on his back for the win

Great effort from the likes of Horvath, Copeland (what about all the people who had stuck into him - like me!), Farley, Cooper and NG. I will be there tomorrow night. Excellent result fellas!

I can't bloody believe it!

We looked gone, then with 1:45 left Sixers scored a 12-1 run.

Un freaken believable!

you forgot your mate Squid......

whats surprising about nash being subbed on for defense on the last play of the game>? makes sense to me

I agree Kwest - was just mentioning it as I know how much squid loves seeing him on court ;)

You will note that Nash did not play virtually at all in the last quarter - you want to know why? We had to score!
Copeland must have been brilliant and should start tomorrow night on his form, at the expense of ....!

Thanks for the ackonwledgement too Statman. Have some interesting stats on Nash too if you want to hear them.

Im sure even squid will agree with the Nash/Ng sub for the last play though! hmm maybe?

I woud have preferred a cardboard cut out of anyone but him

Maher won the game with a shot at 14secs left there last season. Sense of Dejavu for Pigs.

Watkins must be soooooo close to going now. They shouldnt have given up a 12 point lead with 2:49 left. WOW.

Copeland has hopefully shut some critics up now.

Harsh.. on the last play of the game when ONLY defense is needed - theres no one else I would have brought on for Ng..

great work, came in late on the scores with this one, looked at copes states with amazement and noted we were down and wrote the game off. I have to admit i was bashing copes at the start of the year but after that game where he got 21 at home he really has not looked back at all. Full credit to him.

box scores now up on nbl website

also for kings/crocs and dragons/bullets

Full credit to Farley also.. The last 3 weeks he has turned into one of the most multi dimensional players in the league. Who would have thought it?

Recent games include:

31pts, 7rbs and 6ast
26pts, 7rbs and 6ast
24pts, 6rbs and 5ast

and tonight he got a similar stat line again..

You beauty!

Great result and if we can turn around tomorrow night and get the win...well we are kinda looking back on track :D

Go Copes!

Is anyone else thinking what I am? With all due respect to Brett, but with a winning streak of 3 without him, do we need him back? What will it do to the team chemistry? Its taken this long for the team to gel, its starting to take shape now without him. Brett is great if he plays consistently, but if he is going to have a season continually interrupted with injury, then the question has to be asked.

Did any1 cover the 36ers and Pigs 4 a draw at half and 36ers 2 win. Draws at half and what ever team wins normally pays $25 ta $1

Our winning streak is 2 not 3.. 2 games.. wow..

Of course we need him back!!! We just gave up 114 points to the Pigs, and should have lost the game. They are the worst team in the league.

That tells you everything you need to know.

Our team as it is, without Maher is an 8th place team.. and we are 8th on the ladder.

There is no way we are better than any of the teams above us.

We JUST scraped by the 2 worst teams in the league (dragons and pigs) and beat an underachieving crocs. The tigers game showed us exactly where we are in the scheme of things.

It was a nice comeback tonight, but I wouldnt be holding any illusions of grandeur.

No doubt whatsoever, Brett Maher needs to come back and fast. Having the Dragons nearly cause an ugly upset at one point of last weeks game and having to go on a freak last ditch run to win this week doesnt do much for my confidence in the current 6ers team.

They've done well to keep themselves in the hunt as it is such a tight league. But overall no Maher no Adelaide. As far as chemistry goes Maher will never try and shoot himself back into immediate form or do anything that isnt best for the team should fit back in smoothly.

Throw Maher and Wheeler back into a winning group and all of a sudden this is a deep squad.

If Mahersy is fit he is the first person selected each week.

There is no doubt about it.

I have a good feeling about the rest of the season and firmly believe we could become a darkhorse come finals time.

I was looking at the situation more from the point of view that most of the good work done so far by the Sixers has been since Maher went down with injury and illness. They are continually improving their position on the ladder even though Maher is not there. They may have beaten the 2 lowest teams in the league but the season started with the Sixers being the lowest in the league. Whoever they have beaten were no lower than they were. What was encouraging about tonight's win was that it was on the road and with 2 major players out.

I dont mind Farley taking 25 shots and only making 35%, without Maher.

It seems to lift his all round game and confidence if he gets to take these extra shots. And that helps the team - ie game winner tonight..

I hear what you're saying EC, I wouldn't mind if Maher were out for a while longer as long as we can improve while he's away. Farley has stepped up big time since he's been gone and others seem to be coming to the party too, it is true that our last 2 wins have been against average (at best) teams, but if we can get the chemistry together, get players to lift and be middle of the road with 10 games to go, then inject a fully fit, rejunivated and hungry Brett Maher into the equation we could give this thing a shake up.

It's like when an athlete takes a litre of blood from themselves and stores it in a freezer, over the next few weeks the body regenerates to full capacity then right before their event they inject that additional litre right back into their system resulting in improved performance (shut up, I've heard of this happening!!).

There's a lot of ifs in there but personally I'm not concerned if we don't get Brett back right away - if it were a top 6 and not top 8 finals system then perhaps things would be different.

EC, a good question. It will be interesting to see how Smyth can work minutes in for Maher, Farley, Copeland, Ng, Hill, and now Sutton once Maher returns.

Adelaide does have some depth at guard this year, so it should have been able to cover for Maher being injured. Smyth can play his part here too in extending Maher's career, by not necessarily playing him for 40+ minutes each night when his is fit. Maher's minutes have not been managed well these past few years, resulting in something like 20 missed games over the past three seasons.
