Sixers v Kings, Nov 7

A import gets 10 points and and many praise him and of course Joey again mentioned him in his press . Wow.
He had a ok good qtr which supposed to do in every game.
He still overweight and over the hill,
And anyone things we are going to win finals with him in a league that now has quality imports are kidding themselves

Re Gibbo being MIA - After the match, Joey said Gibbo is still struggling to get over his preseason injury. Joey wants more from him and I'm sure he'll get it once Gibbo's back to full fitness. Joey also praised Sobey for the energy he brought into the game and Ebi for his sheer effort and hassling in the 4th. He also reckons Randle will get a 40 point game this season!

Randle was brilliant when talking after the game - he said all the right things and is 110% certain he's going for the championship. He also said how he loves being a part of this team - more than any other he's played for - and he intends to "stick around for a while" - Great news!!

It was a good quarter by Ebi. 8 points is only 2 under his season average for a whole game, after all. And shooting 40% for the game is better than his 33% average, too. But other players were more important in the last quarter, particularly the other import. If only we had two imports that good, maybe we wouldn't need to make a record comeback.

But hey, to be fair to Ebi, he's improving. He's gone from making four free throws to justify his import spot to playing a whole quarter. Maybe we'll see an entire half out of him before the season's over?

Josh Childress was reported for his post match behaviour towards the game officials!!!!

Kobe24, thank God that your not the one that needs to be convinced. Your vendetta has become tiresome and any comment irrelevant.

Not sure what Ebi is paid but his performances in the clutch have paid it back. Kobe24 a player who does whats required in the 4th is such a valuable resource and shows why he is here. Ebi may not be hitting shots early, but his experience and clutch performances have been very important in us winning the games we have. Do you want to gamble that for a player who may be able to score during the game but will be questionable when it really matters? Ebi has delivered when it really matters. How much is that worth?
Great spectacle for the league, need to get this out there and get the 8000 crowds back.
In 1st qtr Sydney could probably have turned their backs to rim and still got it in. Seemed unstoppable, but Sixers kept plugging away. All stepped up. Creek hustle and intensity got us a lot of momentum in last. Old man Petrie superb all game. When you have momentum you get the calls. Refs are human... aren't they.Kings failed to handle the heat when it mattered. missed free thows. Khazzough fouling out. He just dropped his shoulder into DJ right in front of ref.

Sydney were amazing for the first 2 quarters, especially the first. Credit to Adelaide for not dropping their heads and fighting back.

Cadee was a bit ginger a few times.

Flopsy Goulding may no the right way to fall, but the way Cadee was limping after the hit suggested that there was no flopping as far as Petrie was concernrd.

Sorry Angus those two plays may have been fouls but Kazzough's handfull of Petrie's singlet and Cadee's charge on Petrie were also let go. Harrington's happy feet were not called all night either.

I lost a bit of respect for Childers both during and post fourth quarter.

I was also hoping to see that Kobe24 and Hendo88 would be at the game to see the one% that Eri does off the ball and within the offence, in the hope that they could offer an "informed" opinion, but unfortunately not>

Did anyone else see Sideshow Bob going off at the refs after the game?

Only Sydney can make history. If a team can not handle a full court press, they do not belong in this league.

Credit to the home crowd. They were awesome, and it definitely helped.

Great comeback and fight from Adl.

Horrible execution, poise and FT shooting from Sydney.

Terrible last quarter by the 3 refs. That was completely one-sided and basically cost Sydney a win.

Thats an extremely soft call on Harrington there.

Especially after "letting them play" so much at the other end.

Hit your FT's Sydney

Some serious home cooking here for Adl.

Plus some serious bad O by Sydney

Wow, the refs are giving everything to Adl right now.

Bad travel call, worse 3 second call. Now a 3 point play off very little.

Game on. This is great stuff

Did Homicide just refer to a player as an Ape ? Racist hehe :P

LOL... nice little DJ rant by Homicide

45 is a good halftime score.

Usually.

I'm not complaining. This is entertaining stuff.

This is some seriously insipid "defence" being played by Adelaide

I'm not minding Homicides commentary this game. He seems to be getting better and is not as annoying. Much prefer Rucker though.

Even Ere's flops are terrible

Heck of a start by Sydney

Well I learned that the vessel used to contain molten steel is called a ladle, so thanks, Jack :)

I don't trust either of these teams when it comes to tipping, but Adelaide really ought to get the job done.
