Round 14 Review of the National Basketball League: "The Andrew Bogut pocket change bowl".
Melbourne 69 – Cairns 63.
Wow, these guys kicked off the round with an ugly one, a combined 19 assists on 32% (47-of-143) shooting from both teams.
Gold Coast 91 – Wollongong 88.
Blaze claim another win over their favourite foes, Harvey's 37 was the difference in the third game between these teams that came down to the final possession.
New Zealand 114 – Sydney 70.
The Breakers smushsmortioned the Spirit during a 68-29 second half, the Spirit somehow making the ball go through the hoop 23 times from the field.
New Zealand 118 – Perth 94.
The smushsmortioning continued during a 67-33 second half as the Wildcats went to the smushsmortion clinic and got a smushsmortion.
Adelaide 107 – Gold Coast 104.
Ballinhodger was reduced to just 53 points, 16 rebounds, 11 assists, 4 steals and 2 blocks but the Sixers came from behind to snatch this one from the Blaze.
Melbourne 128 – Wollongong 101.
Ebi took a 33-minute break from Christmas shopping to drain 8-of-10 triples for 28 points, his haul had nothing to do with Santa though, Ebi did it all by himself.
South 88 – Townsville 84.
The Dragons avoided a near Homicide, outlasting the 187 inspired fight back behind Happy Valley, The Riddler and Tremmell Darden (we need a nickname for him!).
Sydney 101 – Townsville 90.
Sydney won the blogger cup, not sure who won the post game brawl in the crowd, but at least JR had a chance to catch up with all his cyber disciples in the real world. This highlight was brought to you by www.andrewbogut.net.au.
Champoid of the Week:
Tony Ronaldson is still playing in the NBL! 49 points and 6-of-11 threes in a pair of bear-sized wins. You really are a bear!
Rotman of the Week:
Hammer was supposed to be still playing in the NBL but injured his back in pre-game warm-ups. Don't we warm-up to avoid injuries?
