Sixers v Hawks, Nov 21

I think Jacob Holmes and Josh Jenkins calling the game for ABC radio works. Moments ranging from fine to excellent

anon, yeah, he could have been talking about maccas or even hj's for all I know. It doesn't matter if he was just flapping his jaw. But with all of his experience he had the wisdom to have a chat to Randle at the back of the huddle and settle him back into his groove after he had just committed 2 stupid turnovers and been lucky not to be called for an offensive charge on Ogilvy. and you assumed that I assumed what he said.

anon it's a little 1%er that doesn't get measured in pts or rebounds, and probably goes unnoticed by a lot of people bagging the guy. Experienced ball carriers and go to guys in the Sixers team to give advice to Randle. Do you mean Sobey? Teys? Creek? Or our best guys we usually use to get through double team traps in Peach or DJ, or Walker who's new to this team. Of course Ebi is just reiterating stuff. Thats what experience is. Reiterating stuff you know about.

After Randle had some terrible turnovers and was starting to get pressured by Hawks defence Joey called timeout near end of the game when deficit cut back under 10pts. An experienced, elderly import then had a few wise words of instruction into Randle's ear at the back of the huddle during timeout, and what do you know, when Randle went back out there a lot more composed and measured, he suddenly handled the Hawks pressure and he snuffed the game out. Not sure what it's worth, or how you measure it, but you don't get those words without experience.

He was reviewing the play to how many seconds were left on the 24sec clock as the operator

Ouch. The Hawks are absolutely rubbish tonight.

Hawks would be nice if they didn't have Lisch or Penney (wow that's hard to say) and had a healthy Martin, giving them flexibility to get an Ibekwe type.

No disrespect to Penney or Lisch - theyre two of the better guards in the league - but the money they're on could better balance the roster.

I suppose they intended to get a lot more out of Davidson. Unfortunately, he appears all but done.

Or the old 'rims out' call when the shot is an absolute brick.

Hawks have no interior outside of AJ.

Does Gibson ever not complain to the ref? Seriously put a sock in it.. you fouled the guy.

It is ok when we want them to get back in the game we bring on Ere .
Even Joey went off at him at that last play .

Totally agree with the Hodgson comments I'd like to see Joey say to him that he is starting and he wants him to shut AJ down, he wants him to bump into him every play and if he gets fouls who gives a shit, if he gets beaten once then oh well but I still some faith and confidence into the boy and watch him flourish.... I'm a massive fan of AJ but the difference between a good game and a bad one is miles apart and he doesn't do well with physicality so make him uncomfortable.

I think Hawks will absolutely thrash the 36ers tonight and Bevo will have them fired up after saying how useless a rebounding team they are so I expect that to Improve and I think the only way 36ers win tonight is by showing us something different like going to Waxy more or the Hodgson move to starter.

Is this going to be Agent 97's last game? Injury report suggest that Martin will be back in 1-2 weeks but would they risk rushing him back if they lose tonight ?

anyone see the illi player and coach having a go on the sideline today?
