NBL 2004-2005 Season Thread

[Arcane]

that singapore game is just the NBL displaying it can have international flare & support like the nba games they have in asia sort of an unofficial expansion.

On another note the Bullets game against the Breakers was sweet with a 40 point thrashing. Bryant Matthews had a sik game 30pts and hit his free throws as well as some monster dunks/alleys.

Bullets had solid defense for majority of the game and hadn't seen that kind of intensity on a longer spree in an NBL game in so long.

During pre game warm ups matthews attempted a between the legs dunk out of no where, he almost got it too just a few other players where putting up shots and Everstyn was standing right near the basket when Matthews went up for it.

Everstyn sucks!

[Arcane]

haha give him time to develop his game he will improve with more court time and experience.

[Fresh8]

He does have size... but penny is way better- he got hops!

[Arcane]

yeah thats true....if he could rebound like he did in college I think it was where he got 39 rebounds in the 1 game he will be a great asset.

[Fresh8]

Everystyn got 39 boards in a game? where did he play?

[Arcane]

correction it was in ABA where he got the 39 rebounds which is a record

Career Highlights:
Holds ABA record for rebounds in a game with 39.

Other Basketball Experience:
Sherbrooke Suns ABA
University of Nevada NCAA

he's a melbourne boy who got over to the USA.

[Fresh8]

I see... nice work lol

Andreww Bogut News: he's been doing quite well in Utah actually...

[Arcane]

yeah he has it will be good to see a australian player in the NBA again.

[Fresh8]

I hope he plays for the lakers... lol

See the comparisons? Bogut as Luc Longley, Kobwe as MJ and Lamar as Pips... ok, i'm dreaming again!

[Arcane]

hahaha...he will need to go to a team without a ball hogging "superstar" so he can establish himself as a decent player.

[Fresh8]

man - that sux! lol

u know, the one and only Zen master made an appearance before Perth took on brissie last week?

[Arcane]

yeah i know all coz of the Luc Longley connection...damn bastard why couldn't he of been in Bris.

[Fresh8]

lol... i wonder wat phil said to them hey? great to hear a bunch of pros werer liek kidsafter the speech as if phil is a popstar... apparently they were real excited!

[Arcane]

haha they probably all had a beat after too.

[Fresh8]

anyways... brissies slipped out of the Top Four... i wonder how they will do for the remainder of the season... how many games left Dragon?

[Arcane]

I think theres about 4-5 left in the season before the playoffs

[Fresh8]

Maybe we can win all of the final games then!

[Arcane]

yeah hopefully should be a good game tonight hopefully bryant matthews hipflexa injury isnt too serious to put him off his game tonite.

[Fresh8]

Lost by 2 points man.... Black had 28, Byrant had 18...

[Arcane]

yeah was a close game, we got 7 days to turn it around and return the favour.

[Fresh8]

exactly... Bryant for 50 ponits! oh btw... do u know the NBL record total points in one game?

[Arcane]

Bullets vs Tigers (preview)

crucial game for both clubs who ever wins this 1 gets the home court advantage in playoffs. Brisbane crowd preparing to get really vocal tonight.

injury concerns: Bryants hipflexa injury (will that be the chink in the armour for the Bullets).

Heading off to work (the game) now.

[Fresh8]

Bullets vs. Tigers (note)

Bryant had 24, 16 and 3 steals. Had 3 dunks, 1 alley oop... did a behind the legs dunk during warmups. Bullets won I think.

(Info from friend)

[Arcane]

bullets won by comfortable margin was a blow out in the first 6 minutes matthews did 3 massive dunks ingame he missed 1 more and did attempt a between the legs at warmups. The alley oop was HUGE the raging 2 hander looked like an angry monkey/gorilla flying through the air from 1 tree to another.
