Sixers Vs Perth

With two minutes to play Weigh had three fouls and three points - in more than 27 minutes playing time. And his defence was ordinarly for most of the game, but yes, he got some boards.

Great to see Massingale actually receive the ball. From memory he hit the court only twice in yesterday's game and the first time in the other four players flat out refused to pass him the ball.

As for the bigs ... imagine what the team could do if our great development coach could actually get DJ to play at least some defence - maybe he could watch Massingale and learn something - and get Schenscher to take a little overhead push shot when he is facing the basket from 1.5 metres away. He just has to be able to do it ... or be taught to, though it's obvious a lot of good coaches have failed so far. As it is he is simply no threat when he gets the ball because he has no way to score.

As it was, he was so ineffectual yesterday, apart from some passing, I was looking for Marty to take him out of the game when he was there; not put him in for longer.

Ignore Camel, he is the only one irrationally complaining about Weigh, when he is actually playing his role well. His hate for Weigh goes way back.

Nice win by the guys.
major points were really bad offense at times including gibbo's brain fade undwer the ring with little opposition. wow! and he's an olympian. ouch
Cj stepped up to the plate which was good.
DJ maybe ought to spend some time at the free throw line this week.
Poor crowd but given the aircon never works, would u wanna second guess it and come only to find it was hot inside and outside?
2 winnable games coming up before the Kings at home. Perth is always difficult but winnable and the Crocs, if we cant beat them we dont deserve to make finals even though we are a long way out.

very interesting game

who would have expected CJ, Crosswell and Redhage to combine in the last quarter to keep Marty and Bro alive as coaches ?


I'm finding it hard to believe that against a team as height deficient as the wildcats , Marty can't find some more time for Schenscher in the final quarter of games is he really that much of a liabilty in Marty's eyes ? - has he any minutes loged at all at the end ?

Good win, kinda makes the tigers loss even worse though. I was really hoping all those missed FT were not going to come back to haunt us though. Really glad to see CJ get it going and i though with his limited minutes Creek did a great job as well.

Peach is so much more valuable than i thought he would be, my mvp of the team so far considering his role v production.

Perth by 12+ dont see them dropping two straight.. Sorry sixer fans

Sixers by 19 points

I refuse to put any faith in the Sixers after getting creamed by Melbourne. Although they have done well against the Wildcats recently.

For anyone that's interested, the SASI boys on the US Trip have played three games, winning two and losing one. They lost to Grinnell College by 10 which isn't bad against a team of 19 players who sub 5 for 5 every 2 minutes and play a full court press for the entire game.
