Sixers @ The Gong

BREAKING NEWS: Wingfield Tip sues HoldenV8 for being compared to Chrisopherson.

Of Stephen Weigh : - they shouldda caught me in my prime.
I mightta got 6points in 42minutes. Contract ?
SOJs father Brendan would have him in his team , but was critical of his defense.

Daly was good in his minutes, but Cadee had a pretty good game too. Similar players in many ways, but Daly seems a bit more prepared to push the tempo which I like. They both compliment Gibbo on court pretty well, but we would probably struggle if they were both on at the same time for any extended period.

Crosswell is more confusing. Not sure what his role is. He is not really taking advantage of veteran smarts (that momentum killing turnover in the dying seconds of the third was abysmal). He just gets to play loose man in offense he is given so little respect by opposition teams, but that seems to be creating very opportunities for him or the team.

Very popular on here . Didn't have a good game , his guarding was terrible , but no one else to put on .

I kinda feel sorry for him. I'm expecting Memes to starting popping up on FB soon. You all know the ones "Hits 100% swishes in training. Airballs it in a game" Talking of FB, great to see Mitch engage the fans during the game. One little peccadillo shouldn't cause too much harm, but I'm glad he was offering his season's shoes and not another item of apparel.

On a lighter note, what a great win. I was watching the replay and the big difference to me from other games was the penetration into the key by the Sixers. They looked like they were an offensive threat and on a mission each possession. If they are going to fluff around, better get them some rabbit ears.

As for Peach, well, I've rung Nick Offerman and organised a trip to his woodshop where we can eat bacon wrapped prawns and bacon wrapped turkey legs. What a game.

JT, I wouldn't pass to him either. He had the most open three pointer by any player all game at one stage - feet set, no one within 5 m of him - never looked like going in.

I feel a bit sorry for SC. Open, but no-one passes to him. The only time he gets the ball is when there's 1 sec on the clock.

" Malcolm " got them 5 points up and was sat . Even Clarke sat down , thought it was over.
But the guy they put on missed the 2 freethrows and we couldn't have won from 7 down .
Seems we've only got one guy who can play the three spot , but he's more of a 4 ,a brilliant shooter but guarding not his scene , so they went at him and scored easily. They didn't guard Croswell .

And yet we stay bottom of the ladder, with Cairns winning last night.

Go 36ers against nz! Would make the run for the top to intresting!

Great game with both teams going shot for shot for large stretches.

I was impressed with Daly's effort and Gibson looked like a leader last night.

Marcus Camby is one funny man.

It only took 3 years for his 'so called' game plan to come to fruition and work.

Impressive ay?

The captain of the ill-fated Costa Concordia has more leadership skills than the 'leader' u mentioned MC.

Good win after seemingly giving it away in the last 5 mins.

Just frustrates more as to what we should have been doing all year.

Still hope people, finals are still a mathematical chance aren't they?

Might have to watch that game again tomorrow. More entertainment from a Sixers game than I have had in some years!

Cudos required. That was a great win. Couldn't miss to put it in to overtime, and did everything right. Well done Sixers.

Umpiring? Meh, crap calls going both ways as always.

The first time in a long time the Sixer produced back to back wins on the road. Good job. Next test, win in NZ.

I also noted Marty's comment in the pre-game interview about freedom on offense. Clearly having a favorable influence.

Also enjoyed Conraeed's game.

Hopefully the pact between the players hasn't come too late.

Marcus: A true Troll.

Still waiting for the one person that always complains about the lack of spoilers 'cos it's only half time on tv.

What's the story with Larry's haircut?

Pretty sure it didn't hit the rim, Davidson tapped it before it could hit. It was also a clear foul by Deleon, Weigh went to drive to the basket and Deleon impeded his progress with his hands by reaching in - pretty sure that is a foul. Carfino and Joyce were also of this opinion, just a big brain explosion by Deleon.

WE WON BITCHES................ WHAT A FINISH!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Im always doing this site..........!!!!!!!! WOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOO

Can you tell im excited???

Completely inappropriate post on the facebook page

Marcus you're a shit stirrer

Man, what a game!

Petrie and Gibson were clutch and DJ played a great game also. For all of Clarke's shortcomings this year, he managed the clock very well down the stretch, called timeouts at the right times to advance the ball giving us a shot at the win.

On the negative side, Crosswell and Christopherson were extremely ugly to watch when they were out there. To see the standard that Malcolm Grant was playing at compared to Christophersen was rather nauseating to see. That Croswell turnover at the end of the 3rd quarter was a massive stuff up that swung the momentum to Wollongong at the start of the 4th after Demos hit that 3 on the 3/4 time buzzer. Veteran point guards should not be giving away soft turnovers on such crucial possessions. I would be trying to give Daly all of Crosswell's minutes if possible - Daly was immoressive in his time on court tonight.

Another gutsy win by the sixers on the road, again, there were many times we could have packed it up and given the game away. The last two wins have showed after a very dissapointing season, this team still has some heart.

Thanks for teasing us Bro!

we have it live on sky in nz

decent game so far.

What's with live stats???
I click on the box scores and they have townsville and cairns as playing!!

You would think the NBL would have done better after last years live stats always problematic! :-(

congrats on the number retirement tonight.

sorry would normally be there - but will be at junior finals.

anyway - you are a ledge.

Triton, there's a formation forming as we type

@Jack Toft, Imagine pigs could fly.

Imagine if the Sixers snuck into finals, played NZ in the first round, they suffered a mystery bout of food poisoning (95 rugby World Cup) and then we played Perth in the gf winning in front of 12,000. Marty would be elevated as a Sixers legend

We usually win road games without Luke!

Do the 36ers receive more televised games than they should if the allocation was divided evenly, or does it just feel like that because there are only 8 teams in the league and 4 of them are on tv each weekend?

Hawks by 22pts.
