sixers disgrace

Booga, some of them do. 3 players and usually 1 coach after each game go upstairs to be interviewed and give their views on the game they just played. I didn't stop to listen to them last night but after a game like that, it takes a lot of courage to front up to the fans. That is one good thing that went in their favour last night.

52-Cans, would you like to have a laugh. You are absolutely right that Dusty didn't allow the crowd to get to him. I asked him after the game how it was that he could bring such a great game with him to Adelaide. He said it was all the booze that did it. In shock I said, who in the hell would be feeding you booze before a game. He said boos not booze.

fess, you said all we saw last night was the gap between 1st and 10th. Was that the gap on the ladder or the gap in salary?

a 32 point beating last night and we blame the refs,imagine if the bullets had kept their foot on the pedal right to the end,i think we would have been looking at closer to a spanking in the mid 40's,refs may not help but from what im reading here we get a couple of bad calls in a row and we give up.we were beaten by the team that will probably win the title this year.all we saw last night was the gap between 1st and 10th

So what if they do. Will it change the outcome of the whole season? The season could come to an end right now for what is left to look forward to. Dedicated fans or not, they deserve much better than the product they have been sold this season. I can't wait to see a completely new team next season as there are very few players right now I would keep. Let's face it, it doesn't matter how dedicated a fan you are, it hasn't been much fun this season to attend games. And yes, I have not missed a single one.

At that late stage of the game and after his performance, I would have walked away quite proudly.

No I don't think they were deliberately treating Adelaide unfairly, they just had their eyes on Adelaide all the time. They were barely looking at Brisbane because if they were, they wouldn't have missed so much. How do you miss 3 steps without a single dribble. Not 1 but 3. I counted atleast 10 incidences of Adelaide players being pushed in the back that were not called (oops, that must have been deliberate because if they were only looking at Adelaide, they would have seen them being pushed). That's when I decided to stop observing because by this stage, my blood was boiling.

Kwest, its called pride. No one has the right to take that away from you. There's far less pride in losing by 30 than there is in losing by 20. If the Sixers lost by 20, I would have said it was a good result considering the opposition. It may not be important to you to be treated fairly, but it is to me and I am sure many others. The Sixers this season are a far less superior team than the Bullets. The Bullets have won the last 14 in a row, we have lost the last 5 in a row. That alone tells you the odds of winning tonight was not great. Added to that, Farley was out. Taking all that into consideration, the Sixers had no right to win the game tonight, but they had every right to be treated fairly. They clearly were not.

Thank you Skudpud, you took the words right out of my mouth.

KingJames, who in the hell are you to assume what it was that made 3,000 people go off at the refs? I happen to be one of those 3,000 people and you certainly didn't read my head right. Skudpud is putting up with the same shit I did a few weeks back complaining about the ref's calls when the Sixer's loss was largely contributed to by the poor foul shooting. No one is saying that the refs lost the game for them, they are just saying that the calls and/or lack of are just pathetic and very much one sided. I made a special point tonight of observing a lot of fouls not called against the Bullets that should have. I had to stop because it was driving me crazy. I couldn't believe the absolute crap I was witnessing. Yes the Sixers were meant to lose tonights game because they played crap, but the result did not have to be as bad as that. When I see a master at the game like Brett Maher getting absolutely frustrated, I know there is something wrong with the refs.
