Sixers Run Home
The fat lady sung about 2 games ago. Shame but thats the way it falls for us. Bum bow!

Marcus- I think the crocs early woes had alot to do with their import troubles, plus the fact Ben Allen was their starting centre.
Woolpert had taken them within one game of advancing to the GF series against the eventual champion in previous season. Deserved half a chance.
Once Ervin and Neville settled in, they started to look good, made improvement. Bare in mind, 4 out of 5 wins came against Sixers.
IMO, team is playing worse. Don't think you can refer to crocs recent fortune as the glimour of hope for the team. Different scenario, IMO.

I'd say they'll win 3 or 4 of those games, tops.

History has shown that you need to win around 15 games to make the top 4. Which means they need to win 10 out of the last 12 games to have a chance.
Sure they COULD do it.
But I doubt they will.

I am officially sick of seeing Erik Burdon get subbed out for Copeland, and even Ng now.
When will the coaching staff realise that it doesnt matter if the previously mentioned players score 10-16 points each... if they give up 30-40 points due to their inability to play anything that resembles defense.
Burdon had Perth's import guard locked down whenever he was on court, and is an always dangerous scoring option with endless range and ability, as he displayed tonight with his step-back jumper.
Now that the season is basically over, give Burdon a bunch of minutes and give him the confidence to step up even further next season.
