I dont get how he could be involved in the second incident after he punched someone before in that game. Or was it a "dont get of meů Crash like non-punch?

Well after a LOT of stuffing around I finally managed to secure seats at the deciding Grand Final NBL basketball game. If the Perth Wildcats win this one we become the most successful team in the history of the NBL with 5 championships in 24 years. We have managed to make the playoffs every year, so I'm guess I'm a little spoilt here.
A small link to Charlotte is Galen Young, who will be coming off the bench in an enforcer roll for the Wildcats, once played for the University of North Carolina.

Only 22 hours till tip off!!

Not really, defending is still pretty much his thing, his shot isn't that reliable. He is there more for his veteran presence.

He really changes the tone as he really likes to mix it up with the opposition. I think he was in 3 fights in his first 5 games.

I know that the Nets have had a horrible season, but man oh man Brook Lopez has the worst body language.

He really looks like a massive cry baby, pretty much gives up at the drop of a hat and looks like a miserable person to be around on the court.

His lack of effort is astounding.

Guys like Harris, Hayes, Lee and T.Will are still busting their arses, but Lopez looks like he is cruising around in 2nd gear, couldn't give a toss and is angry at all his team mates.

Cardstar is the TITS! You type in your rewards card numbers...stuff like the grocey store, best buy etc... and the program displays the UPC code on your phone so you dont have to carry the cards with you! It is awesome, plus the hot cashiers think you are cool when you hand them your phone to scan...lol :D

Well Young played an important role in helping Perth win its 5th championship with his physicality and toughness. A good example above.

Man what a great night I still haven't gotten my voice back.

i know its universally disliked by hardcore bond snobs, but i always loved moonraker. its cheesy but awesome.

my fave will always be for your eyes only, probably because when i was a kid i watched it about 100 times on hbo back when hbo only had about 10 movies per month and we only had about 10 channels.
