Game Thread: Sixers vs Breakers

Mass props to Skip for the Rick Roll.

Unfortunately, I was notified via text that my Rick Rolling dream had come to fruition, as I was at a mate's wedding.

Needless to say, I bailed on the wedding and ran into the stadium with 7.30 mins left before the half.

Life is about priorities.

But have you smelt 'is shoes??

"Interviews: Apollo room please - couldn't here jack."

I'll try talking louder then :)

On the way home I was talking to my friends about Foxtel and how little respect they have for the game of Basketball. Shows in the shortage of games they have telecast this season, the very late start to telecasting any games and now the most important of all, not telecasting tonights game. Are they that idiotic to not realise that Brett is one of the greatest Basketballers in Australia, a 3 time Olympian and 3 time Championship captain? Are they that idiotic to not realise that the Dome would be packed and noisy and make good television viewing? How could they be that stupid to not telecast tonight's game. For the fans of Adelaide it would have been a good opportunity to tape it and keep a lasting memory of it. They just didn't have the decency to be there for Brett.

AWESOME to hear guys, shame I couldnt be there :-(
Hopefully the club can the game out on dvd real quick, think there would be some decent sales for it if it could be done. even an unedited raw copy would do me!

PLEASE!!!! Someone please!!!

All class.

true champ

The Breakers team deserve recognition for their good sportsmanship and the respect they showed Brett during the pre-game presentations. Also for shaking the hand of the junior sixer post game bet it made his night.

well guys the first sellout since game 3 of the grand final in 02 and what a magnificent feeling. i was out the front trying to match up spare tickets with people that missed out. the first time i have done that in the nine years i have been a volunteer at the dome.

I hope everyone got in that was out the front. I left a family that had travelled from mclaren vale on the promise of tickets only to be let down with none left at the box office.

what a start and when mahersy hit that three from well beyond the arc i knew he wasnt going to let us lose.

hopefully this is the start of a run all the way to the grand final.

i wouldnt mind a copy of that game.

Sad. To see him play so well , and dunk easy.
And to see a team win 75% of home games , and not get a final on the brett maher court.

I think they've done a bit of seat re-configuring , over the years.
Boti and Ninnis etc. reckon it will be full @ 8000

7,800? I always thought it was closer to 8,500

They will name an area at the dome after brett.
and retire no5 at the first game of next season

Just like the Lillee chant in the 70s & 80s, if some people remember those decades.....

Standing ovation everytime Maher has the ball in his hands. Maher is the heart and soul of this club and a TRUE LEGEND!!!

Sad to say I will not get to see this game in person.

Good luck Sixers. Do It For Mahersy!!

Oh, who will start the "Mars -see" chant

Beat me to it!

Expect emotions will be high tonight. Standing ovation from capacity crowd when Mahersey arrives and when he takes his final seat.

Breakers not even stand a chance tonight.
