Crocs v Sixers, Dec 10

Changing the subject, WTF happened here?

Just remember someone mentioned its half way through season,Sixers still can make the finals!!!!
As Joey stated we are not going to make any team changes.Kobe24 is still complaining,see who will have the last laugh.I said that Joey wont release EBi and i was right.
Just a bummer Sixers lost last night,sharp shooting from outside,very rarely seen at Crocs stadium for a while.We will bounce back with a win come Saturday.

"All I can say is a big up yours to all the Croc bashers out there thet believe they shouldn't be in this league and are hopeful of their exit at the end of the season."

I think its the Townsville general public that don't think they should be in the league. The people of Townsville should be ashamed for not backing their team. The rest of Australia loves the crocs more than their own people do.

FOR GODS SAKE....GET OUT AND SUPPORT YOUR TEAM!!!!

Has anyone noticed that Joey Wright only has 1 assistant coach compared to 3 or 4 for every other club. Judging by last night he looks like he is trying to manage the whole game by himself. Surely he needs help with rotation of players, the + & -'s of each player etc....They won't make the finals if this keeps up.

In that 4th quarter they had on Johnson, Sobey, Teys, Petrie and someone else and had the tempo and the game sewn up. Why chuck in Ebi and Gibbo to disrupt that is just mind boggling!

Having to wait until tomorrow to get the replay of this, looking forward to it. Saw the final play though, reminded me of 36ers nailing the Breakers in 13/14 off the inbound steal.

Just watched the last 5 minutes of that game. Yikes! Quite an effort to lose it from that point.
On the other hand they clearly did something right to be up 15.

I think you certainly have found a great player in Randle btw. Id like to see him stretched out a bit, but the guy has got moves.

The issue at the end of the season will be who can Adelaide put around him next season to not only compliment him but give more attacking options. You dont want to end up the one string Childress team.

That play felt a bit like what Sydney do RE Childress. If he is even slightly open they go to him, even if there are people with a better path to the bucket.

In my opinion, there seems to be some unhappy campers in that 36ers team.

It doesn't appear that everyone is entirely on board and that is worrying.

That... was painful. And season defining.

Wasn't just the foul calls, the ten-minute delay to put 0.3 seconds on the clock to end the second half for no reason didn't help.

Questions do have to be asked of Joey Wright, he's regressed all three years in the job. Like Kobe24 said we got smashed in the GF in 2014, got smashed in the SF's last year and almost no chance of making the playoffs this year.

Aside from his stubborn refusal to change our woeful switching defence the lack of professionalism shown with the Ebi Ere situation means questions need to be asked of him.

Ere has shown all season he's done, he's barely a SEABL standard import let alone NBL standard to the point you almost feel sorry for him watching him out there and now we're stuck with this dead weight for the rest of the season just because he and Joey are mates.

Even a superstar like Jerome Randle who probably has the MVP already in the bag can't do it all try as he might to carry this team.

I would suggest you are right on that, it used to be a basket cannot count if a charge is call, not sure if the rule or interpretation has changed at all???

import= Sam I Am with his green shirt and pants...

Gotta love Joey Wright still whinging even with 38FT away from home. Just STFU and coach.

CROCCCCCCSSSSSSSS!!!! Giant killers. Epic win. I like the new guy. Big contributions from all.

As mentioned above, the 36ers became so fixated on getting the ball to Randle that they didn't have an alternative plan/mindset.

Dennis being the very smart coach he is knew they would look for Randle and defended it accordingly.

Gibson's drive late in the game was also wild and erratic.

Wow. Speechless!

Massive credit to the Crocs though. They played superb denial defence.

choke much?

Without Randle ADL would be fighting SYD for the spoon.

I know Ive put forward Webster as the MVP favourite lately.

IMO Randle is by far and away the MVP of this league - no doubt about it

Miles better than Ced in my opinion.

Just onto the live stats - Corey Maynard fouled out in 6:41?

What the? Creek didn't play at the 2012 Olympics for the Boomers!

Who plays as the second Centre for the 36ers when DJ is off the court?

Crocs by 8.

Samhan cleared to play.

Cairns have done well to be competative considering they seem to be getting very little out of Trigger and Laughton. the seem to be gettign more from Burston and Bruce, not taht I've checked any stats to back up this impression.
Hawks seem to have changed their player rotation a bit now with Forman seeming to be less important and Ellis starting to get some time and actually look like he might become a player.

Hoping the Sixers get a good win here.

Hopefully DJ uses these 2 games to get back into form as they are weak at the 5 spot...

Lots of "hope". Haha

Hawthorn defender Josh Gibson has been suspended for one week for going out until all hours with a member of the pussycat dolls.
Which begs the question was it worth it? Going by the pictures, I think so!!!
