Nov 19: 36ers vs Tigers

Well the doctor interrupted me just about then
saying that if this is a double header then ya cain't go .
Cambage n Batkovic .
Aw Oh , Lizzie , you're such a tasty treat.
But I'm under Doctors orders , I'm afraid to over eat.

'If we cain't BEAT Sydney ' - I meant to say.
Gotta bit excited with such a big coverage on the TV.

( Batkovic's pretty good tooo. )

That was the President of The United States , just then on TV News ; " Patrick Mills is pretty fast "
he told us.

Maher is prety happy to be ' remembered ' with this game.

Clarke - " It's still coaching Basketball . Just that AIS is about development and this is more about immediate results.

Grantham - " It's only a quarter of the Season , let's give him some more time.

If we cain't be Sydney we ain't gonna win many -
I said that.

I beleive North Melbourne Giants might have pulled off two wins on the Doomsday Double in the late 80's

King James, to be honest its not too surprising. if the last few seasons are anything to go by, the sixers have regularly displayed the pattern, of winning games that they shouldnt which instills that little bit more hope for the fans, only to have the winnable game the next week lost. with the amount of talk going on about clarke, everyone is expecting the sixers to lose, but history shows we will win and then plummet for the next lot of games.

That stat is a pretty damming stat - 1,054 days without a win against them, but then again the long the drought, the bigger the rain..

It’s Heritage round and the Sixers will be toasting the 1999 Championship team and what a team that was. Davis, Maher, Cattalini, Sapwell, Mee, Brooks, Rees, Bauer, Stiff, and Williams. Coached by the General and assisted by Breheney and Ninnis. They might be dying whatever’s left of their hair grey these days and have taken the belt out a notch or three, but that’s still a formidable team in anyone’s language. Won’t someone get the highlights reel onto You Tube?

To say last week was disappointing is an understatement. Those games are the ones that need to be bagged up and shrink wrapped early. Tonight is no different. Obviously Mills and Tragardh carry the hopes of the Tigers with Ubaka and Greer not fair behind. Johnson and Simpson are the key in the front court for the Sixers with Warren the detonator to the bomb needed to blow the Tigers home with their tail between their legs. Another tussle will be Creek v Walker. So the questions to ponder this week are:

1. Can the ’99 team inspire a win?
2. Should any of those guys be suiting up?
3. Will the refs need to keep the Tiggers in the game?
4. Do they purposely make bad calls just to fire the crowd up?
5. Does Warren need a chair and whip to tame Patty Mills?
6. Will he “drop on the deck and FLOP like a fish”?
7. Will we see plenty of Diamonds? or will the coach weigh up his options?
8. What antics will Murray get up to on game night with a toy tiger?
9. Will we hear Moscow played on game night?
10. If Skip doesn’t play Moscow, will he play Cold Chisel – Goodbye (Astrid Goodbye)?
