Kings vs 36ers, December 8

We were robbed!! Their back, it's been a nice few days not reading this shit from fools!! Hope we win Sunday to shut you clowns up!! 6ers have been great and recruited very well, how good would they be if Balls was up and about and at his best. Marty's fault too im guessing.No wonder players leave and never return.
Get real, support your team and if its not your team piss off!!

Alternatively KingJames, you could congratulate Clarke for his master rotations in the 4th, which got us back into the game, and into the lead, and which had us in an apparently unloseable situation with two seconds to go.

I am ambivalent about Marty's future with the Sixers, but at least criticise him for something he has done wrong, rather than something he apparently did reasonably well. Your hindsight assessments, without even having watched the game, blaming Clarke for that loss is unreasonable.

Bruce continues the ax-chops.
Three wins instead of 3 losses if he played for us , instead of against us. Top 4.

KingJames,

1. Yes. He is a pro. But who cares, as I said, we won the period whilst he sat on the bench.

2. Your point being? You blame Clarke for the loss whilst elevating Simpson to demi-god status. See point 1.

Can you prove the Sixers would have won the period by a more comfortable margin if Simpson was on the court? Maybe it was Simpson's D in the third that had us giving up a comfortable half time lead? But you didn't see the game but can positively blame Clarke for the loss?

Do I think it was smart to bring on Ng for 7 minutes in the third? Didn't see the game, but Ng seemed to be pretty handy in those minutes. Four points, a couple of boards, a few threes didn't drop (but which I am happy for him to take). Why? Are you telling me that it was because Ng was on court that we lost the game?

Disappointing to lose, but

All this talk of rotations get you nowhere guys. During the 7 minutes Simpson was on the bench we outscored the Kings and took what should have been an unbeateable lead in regulation. What more can you ask? Who cares who is on the bench, who is on the court if you put yourself in a winning position, and should have won? How is it Marty's fault that his coaching and rotations nearly won the game for the Sixers? They had a freaking two point lead with two seconds left on the clock. But don't let the facts get in the way of having yet another gripe session guys!

Fact is, we scored what should have been the match winning basket with two left on the clock. Save for a miracle shot, the Kings should not have been able to equalise under any circumstances. So either DJ had a brain fade to foul, or the umps found another ghost foul on Kaz (as the anon poster above suggested). Can't blame the coach for either.

In overtime it seems we were out of personnel and out of skill. Going to Wade for the save three times in overtime is not going to win you many games. But the Sixers were always going to lose that game once it went to OT on Sydney's court, with our front court decimated.

Why would anyone declare that Simpson WOULD have won us the game in regulation when he was on court for the whole of OT and we ended up NOT winning? Pfft, the quality of considered comment on this forum has definitely dropped in the last few years...

End rant.

Also, with the photos Weigh obviously has of Marty with a hooker or whatever, does the club get those back once the season ends and we've met the 35mpg quota?

Those subs make absolutely no sense - especially Simpson.

Rather sick of this.

Agree "anonymous". Creek and Weigh should be splitting the SF role. No reason he shouldn't be getting 12-24 minutes a game. If this doesn't change soon the Weigh "minutes clause" theory will gain momentum.

Another crushing loss. JK too much yet again. The FT count was interesting.

*Rolls eyes* hmmmmmmm

Good effort though. Hopefully they can back it up on sunday. At least they have 3 days to rest b4 the Breakers @ home.

did they really call a timeout before the 2 shots for martin? im just going by the NBL site? how about calling it after he makes both and advancing the ball, really quick shot 2 or 3 then foul again..

Argh, now we need a miracle. This just adds to the frustration. The friggin Kings again!!!!!!

Why are we resting Crosswell and his 4 fouls with 30secs left...in case we go to 2nd overtime?

The case for Creek getting more of Weigh's minutes getting stronger.................

Um....it's gone to overtime. Man I would love to know what's going on with the rotations and minutes. Can't comment without seeing, knowing the inside story.

OMG you jinxed us KingJames! Called it too soon! OT now

WWWWWWWAAAAAAARRRRRRREEEEENNNNN ***************the state goes spastic**************

Hell no, not another bloody overtime game against the Kings.

We got to 100 first, we got to 100 first. ..................
