No News after 36ers game?
XY trying to decide if youre being sarcastic or not? From past comments I think u like madgen as well, but I think we both know he also is not ready to be the main go to guy when the pressure is on. Maybe in a couple years. For now I think it has to be a sixers priority to find that go to scorer for next season. Tornado is right that our offence falls apart too easily under pressure. For the sake of keeping fans coming thru the door the team at least needs to show they can put points on the board until they can work out how to win!


Have to agree with tornado on that one Isaac. Hill can do it sometimes but he isn't successful often enough to count on as our one guy who can create his own shot. Need a real go to wing who can score when pressure is on and we can't get balls a shot. As for creek he is not close to being a go to scorer yet. Needs much better handles and a reliable pull up jump shot.


Bizzy, Basketball plays the same way as Soccer, you have a full team and several guys to get past in order to score.
If you're playing Zone defence and Balls is a post player, it's not his job to rotate beyond his zone; it's the duty of the player in that area to cover.
If the entire game was played Man to Man D, then you'd be valid in your point. But the Sixers played Zone defence that final quarter and bad rotation cost them.
So yeah, when you're guarding the post, blocks are important. When someone else is supposed to be defending that area and the guy scores, it's their fault.

Friday's game showed two things.
a) The 1st half was arguably some of the best defence the team has played all year.
b) The 2nd half was arguably some of the worst defence the team has played all year.
I don't understand why the the intensity dropped off after half time, but it cost us.
As for Balls, fairly sure I counted about 5 Blocks from him (doubt all we recorded) before I stomped out near the end of the game. His post game has improved slightly but the man can block shots when he needs to.

The Tiser online version has a fair bit too say on Fridays Game. I dont think Boti has to worry about reporting or getting a slot with Clarke. If the Sixers were worried by public opinion then they would release a Youtube video with an interview. Shame they havent cos I got a mountain of questions running thru my mind regarding that loss including the game against the Tigers
