Kritik und Lob » chs win the first set 6-1 in 27 minute

The NBL season is going by at an electric pace. Christmas is less than a week away and round 11 is in the books.The Adelaide 36ers gifted themselves an early Christmas present by claiming top spot in the league while Sydney Kings dropped to third place. Jerome Randle enhanced his MVP chances, while Casey Prather didnt hurt his own but his Perth Wildcats are second last and that means he faces a tough ask.Melbourne United seem unable to get up off the mat, and that task is even tougher without marquee forward David Andersen. Brisbane Bullets big man Cam Bairstow, meanwhile, was struck down during the teams loss with a left knee injury.So who and what stood out the most during round 11?New Kings on the BlockThe 36ers were 3-6 and languishing down the ladder after round seven, when they couldnt win at home and their defence had as many holes as Swiss cheese. Four rounds later, they are riding a seven-game win streak to claim top spot in the league behind a 10-6 record.Their effort in taking down the Kings twice during round 11 (one at home, one on the road) showed the league theyre a force to be reckoned with.MVP front-runner Jerome Randle compiled 43 points and 15 assists over the two games, and seemed to relish the chance to dethrone the Kings while lining up against reigning MVP Kevin Lisch.Free BasketballThe league is in an incredible position; this we all know. The pre-game entertainment is great fun for all, the crowds are hyped, and the on-court action is being played at an incredibly high level.During the 2015-16 NBL season there was a total of five games that went into overtime. To showcase how absurd this season has been, at the completion of round 11 weve already had six games going longer than expected.To say that fans are getting there money worth this season is a gross understatement. The NBL is in a great place and fans will be flocking far and wide to attend any game if this level continues.Play off PratherCasey Prather averages 21.6 points per game and can turn games almost single-handedly. Unfortunately for Prather, the rest of his Wildcats team are not playing to the level to which were accustomed.Prather can look unstoppable at times and can get to the rim at will, but the Breakers in round 11 exposed a flaw in his armour. They gave Prather space on the perimeter. They dropped off and stood closer to the paint than to their man, effectively asking him to shoot the three ball; Prather obliged and shot just 2-8 from deep.Bench ProductionStarters will always grab the headlines and play the bulk of the minutes during a game, but no team can get over the line without help from their second unit.Depth is just as important as star quality, and the Illawarra Hawks are riding that wave more than most.The Hawks have scored 459 points in the past three rounds, with the bench accounting for 54 percent of that total. With Rotnei Clarke leading the way, the Hawks second unit dont give opposing sides any room to stop for air.MVP?SleeperHaving come back to the league after a nine-year stint overseas, Brad Newley is putting together a season worthy of MVP contention.Kings captain Kevin Lisch will draw the fanfare and attention, but Newley has become the teams Swiss Army knife as he goes quietly about his business. He ranks second among the Kings players for points and rebounds while leading the team in assists.Compare his numbers to the other MVP front-runners, and the argument is there for all to see.Brad Newley: 17.6 points - 5.2 rebounds - 4 assistsCasey Prather: 21.6 points - 4.9 rebounds - 3.8 assistsJerome Randle: 22.5 points - 2.8 rebounds - 5.1 assistsNewley deserves consideration among the best players in the league right now.

Its not easy to lose, and its also not easy to come out and speak now. We have to accept it and move on, Sania said. Its really hard. The Olympics come every four years, and right now I dont know if Ill play the next Olympics. ?But thats sport. It will take some time to get over it.?Sanias words were echoed by Bopanna, who too was reeling in the disappointment.?Right now, its really hard to focus. Weve had two close defeats in 24 hours, and thats how it goes. Sometimes, you put your best foot and still lose. I just want to get through today. ' ' '
