R18: Sixers v Kings

Thanks Nathan - sounds like some empty points for old Kevo

@Jick
First three of White's 3's were wide open. Like, everyone intentionally moved to the other side of the floor to give him the shot, and good on him for knocking them down. The next three were largely contested and in the run of the offense. After he hit the first 2 I called that he was hot, and I was correct. His form isn't terrible, but his season (and career) 3P% are just ugly.

I believe Madgen made 5/6 FG in the first quarter (might of been half), but then missed his next 8 or so shots. I haven't consulted the box score, but his shooting really dropped in the second half.

Was a bit whiny I would say, nothing too extreme, but definitely wouldn't help the team morale when they are already down by 20.

I didn't see the game but almost crashed my cornflakes when I saw White's box score. Have to Agree with Hendo though, Kevo may have had a very good night but his stats for the season are dire.

People have mentioned Madgen's bad attitude - did he have the sooks or something? I think his cold shooting has had a bad effect on Kings spacing and his game - he doesn't want to take the 3 and settles for driving into traffic too often

Depends which Motum steps on the court, Loco Motum or Rock Motum. Rock the past few weeks has been very solid.

(I'm playing my Dad joke card because I can!).

Re Cadee I am still waiting for the Australian rep play to appear in the NbL.

I really enjoyed watching White knock down so many open 3's.

And on topic, I suspect Wilson's 3 ball is dropping at a better clip these past few games.

At no point last night did I ever think the Sixers would lose, it felt like they had total control. I assume Perth fans felt the same way after last weeks game against Sydney.

Ok, NZ, Perth and Wollongong, the Sixers need to go to another level now.

ADL are now my favourites for the ship.

Angus Brandt has been cleared to play. Bit of good luck going the Kings way for a change.

"This week the team has bandied around him and told him this is his team (3 x MVP, leading scorer, rebounder, etc, etc) - we want you to be the man! Let's see if that translates into the game?!"

I wonder if Jamar and Brock got that memo?

Matthew,

Don't mistake the confidence shown in this thread as an indication of our confidence in making the finals. It is a thin veil.

We have enjoyed the Sixers making hay lately but our early season reaping efforts have left the team teetering between a good year and a year of poor return.

Hey Guys. Do you ever stop to read the far earlier posts from the front part of the season? (ie the Doom and Gloom for the Sixers). Some posts actually make me laugh out loud.

With Portland taking Patty Mills with the 55th pick, can the NBL/BA do anything to improve the draft stock
of future Aussie players, or have we already peaked as
a basketball nation?

On another topic, are the leagues of Israel, Sweden, France and Ukraine better than the NBL?
