Last Chance for Sixers on Ere

Which is still only 3.6 points per game. That is with Ebi coming on (usually) with the second unit, who may for example be underperforming as compared with the first. It can also be massively skewed by one or two games. How does that compare to his teammates?

Ebi has not lived up to hype or expectation so far, no doubt. Like you said, it needs investigating to be of any use as by itself it does not tell us much of anything.

(I am not in any way endorsing Ebi's position on the team)

Isaac, that is an example of when +/- should not be used. Across 15 games, that equates to less than -2 per game (or one shot) and is meaningless.

Yep not having good night with wording today- tonight .
But would not highlight you were trying to be a smart a---e by putting 3 letters in to make totally different name than was there . Although a r slipped in Motum
Your buying ticket to a match rubbish is putting all the loyal long term season ticket holders down as we are the heart and soul of club that outlast players ,coaches and owners.
Yes of course we don't get to pick the players ,coaches or imports but we have right to have a opinion.
We have had many ver ordinary imports but the only one I have ever been close to talking about being offended is this over the hill player who turned up to our club just before season commencing in very poor physical shape and nothing to do with injuries as the very obvious fact is he was and still is very overweight to be playing professional sport and that my dear friend is treating our club and supporters with disrespect .
The only reason he gets his 6- 10 score each week is because everyone else working their bums of and opposition don't defend him and leave open.
Finally you can go through all my posts re Ere and Joey and will not find me saying being kept because Joeys friend.
Anyway the guy is a waste of space representing our club you know I know it and so does everyone else and you are just hiding the fact you said he was going to be successful and now reality has hit.

Yes to both Isaac and Marcus yes should check more closely if made mistake in posting . But of course You made a clown of yourself Marcus when I made mistake of adding 1 word and your clever crap you had to change 3 words .
Then of course you are on that bandwagon that us long term season members only buy ticket to game ,so no right to complain garbage .
But guess only way to disagree anymore as even you now even you have no grounds to defend his game etc or even say improving or big game around corner.
As previously said continue to support club but losing respect for Joey etc over this continued Ere fiasco.

No point arguing with each other,waste of time.

EBI ERE isnt going anywhere,Sixers will not release him.

Post something nice about him Kobe.

I think I might seek a more objective perspective Kobe :-) (and that's not an invite for a comment from Marcus either).

The last Sixer import replaced played his last game against United.

FWIW, short of getting injured I think he's here til the end but I will watch his and his teamates behaviour post game closely

Has Ere passed up a shot yet?

Every touch on offense has been shot or drive.

Has he been told?

Kamby. Haha!

Beige is fine as long as you only have beige expectations and are only paying beige money.

There are two elements to this debate.
The first is whether Ere should be in the team.
The second is whether the team would be better without him.

For an import coming off the bench, his stats are reasonably. Not bad, no great. For an upgrade to occur, the question is whether that player would bring more to the team, or whether it would interrupt team chemistry.

IMO, he has been the beige man. He hasn't done anything to warrant sacking, hasn't done anything to say "let's sign him for another season " He has been plain and boring, just like a beige safari suit. But if that fits in with the plan, then no reason to change.

So it brings us to Q2. Where are the Sixers weak and where is the gap?

there's no K in Kamby

Yes Gibbo has had ordinary season but comparing his output in a game to Ere is a joke.
Gibbo works hard in progression of our ball and setting up players and apart from 1 or 2 games his defence is excellent and works hard.
Ere just sits around in open spaces as nobody bothers to defend him and jacks up a shot or 2 that others worked hard to create which he gets at a very low percentage and that is not covering those laughable turnovers.
His defend well without any possible contradiction he provides no resemblance of any type of defence and others get caught out covering his player as well as own whether zone or 1 on 1.
What Gibbo getting paid is something not relevant to this discussion or where he going to next year.
I enjoyed what Motrum did for us last season knowing he would not be back this year. As said rather not replace than see him on court again.

No I would not keep him .
But just say he did that, it would mean on current averages he would have to put up around a 100 shots and he has not got fitness to put up 50 shots.
But you know what my feelings are so strong about him and how presented himself to play and Joeys etc not cutting him as a huge showing of disrespect for all the very loyal members and supporters of our club that I would be happy just not see him out there and Carlin or Johns take his spot.
Obviously love to see replaced with good import as our only chance of making finals.

A very interesting round last weekend, and with only 4 sets of games this Saturday night, the cream is starting to rise.

Rocket Roosters - Lions @ Hillcrest
Tigers-Eagles @ Southern Siberia
Warriors-Flames @ St Clair
West-South @ Port Adelaide

Rockets-Lions
Women: Lionesses played their heart out last weekend, but you can't average 36 turnovers a game and expect to win. Rockettes should chalk up a win here.
Men: Lions are on bottom, but haven't played badly. They are slow out of the block and haven't won a first quarter yet. When you're chasing jumbers in a game it makes it hard. Need to get the Z to start to have any hope of a win. Rockets are 3-0, but should get up after a fourth quarter surge..

Tigers-Eagles
Women: Eagles go into the game 3-0 and should be celebrating at 4-0 on the way home to their roost. Reckon they should shout Maccas to the Tigeress just to be nice.
Men: Will they be "goodenough" this week? Riley is top of the points table and unless the canteen lady can slip a micky into his powerade, should get another lazy 30. I'ld like to tip Tigers, but they will be out-rebounded by the Feagles. Eagles by 10.

Warriors-Flames
Lots of criticism of St Clair stadium during the week. Difficult to see the Warriors get up in either game. Away team to win both.

West-South
Women: West will get this pretty easily, not by 50, but Sam can clear the bench for this one. West by 30.
Men: Is that angry little ant back yet? West are too tall and solid. Similar margin to the men.
