36ers suddenly in genuine turmoil, please explain!

I like both DJ and Schenscher but when they are losing they aren't exactly known for their hustle play and would rather stand back and watch team mates jump on a loose ball or help on the weak side, that's where I think BJ Anthony is value.

In case you don't understand what I meant earlier Adelaide are NOT a good team, have had good games like spanking the Breakers at home but they have been a confident team and confident teams can win anywhere and want to keep playing.

Adelaide have won 4 games that I feel they should have lost this season (2 against Cairns, NZ and I think it may have been the hawks) those wins have given what is basically the same squad that's sat at the bottom of the ladder for 3 years.

Ervin is an improvement and DJ is better and Creek is better but the rest of the team have either regressed, stayed the same or in Gibbo's case, are so bloody inconsistent that you can't tell how good they really are.

Adelaide should make the playoffs and that will be proof of their overachieving and they can make a grand final if they can play fast paced games on their terms but if they can't then maybe the poster above is right and they won't win again this year.

why is this turmoil? its turmoil if over the salary cap, its turmoil if the club was ran unprofessionally, its turmoil if the nbl sanctioned players n club for off/on field misdemeanors. none of this has occurred!

so....if by losing 2 away game means turmoil, check the dictionary cos right now, its a gross exaggeration to the highest level.

I think some injuries slowed them up; replacing Frye with Carter will take a while to shake-out as well. If it does, will take some creativity to answer the peculiarities the team imbalance will produce (the small forward position weakness).

Statistically Adelaide haven't been the unequivocal 2nd best team this season. Winning more than our share of close games has been misleading.

With Ervin regressing, the team making a (seemingly) sideways move in swapping Frye for Carter and experiencing significant adversity over the past few weeks, the real season starts now.

I'd love to mate but I'm enjoying your overachieving team come back to the pack.

I don't think your a finals team and I haven't felt that all season.

Sorry I can't answer why your coming back to pack but 36ers intensity isn't there.

I'd use BJ Anthony more as you need his agressiveness and intensity as Schenscher and DJ have no mongrel in them.

I think Cadee basically feels like he's lost his identity, he dominated when Ervin went down and now what?

I'm not sure how big an issue this is but during the Wildcats game both teams were rotating players at the rate of knots. Carter would come on for a minute and go off for 3 and come back on for a minute...
