Hawks v Sixers, Feb 12

Cats are the Hawks bogey team, it doesn't matter on how much talent the Hawks have they just seem to match up really well with them. Same goes with Crocs being the bogey team for Perth this season. Its going to be a massive task for Hawks to win in Perth where they haven't won for many years. But hey it is the finals and it's been a year of weird results.

Why would it be an upset? They have two mvps plus an also Martin and co that a great role player's if Illawarra had hca would it be a upset if perth won? I. Think the winner of this semi win it all. Both teams have champions on their team.

"OJ can't help himself, so a cheap foul with Sean followed by another crap tangle up with Jessie and Hawks are done."

So true, even at a rate of 2 to one, 8 fouls spread on Floppsy Mk1, Flopsy Mk2, knight and Big J affects the cats very little, but give 4 on OJ and its dunk city inside for the Cats.

Didn't Perth own the Hawks 4-0 including 2 thrashings? I think that's proof in its own to say they have the scorers to match the Hawks.

So disappointed with the Sixers missing the major round but also looking forward to the finals as all four teams are good enough to win Johnny.

There hasn't been this much intrigue for many years such has been the quality of the competition.

You know they had an import before Randle, right?

Not happy, 6ers!

Just my opinion but why anyone would actively go after Gibson as a starting PG (i.e Brisbane) is beyond me. Massively overrated and wouldn't have him as a top 12/13 PG in the league!

Yeah that was a horrible way to go out. Play a lick of D and we are in it, that said the Hawks just have so much shooting. Hope they go on to win it this year.

Geez these last few minutes has been amateur hour. Absolute bush league.

A tech foul? No! Didn't think they still existed.

Even more of a joke randomly deciding to whistle it for something as minor as that - even though they've let all kinds go during the season including swearing at referees, taunting viciously etc.

If we go down by 2 points, that end of half turnover will bite.

"Since when do unsportsmanlike fouls cancel each other out? I thought that was only on double fouls."

Since always. You can't give both teams possession.

How does Johnson let White win that loose ball. Disgusting lack of effort.

We just don't know who yet.

Just announced on Facebook/Twitter. Details as to who are coming soon.

Any guesses?

@Paul

Joey could assist that decision making by matching their aggressive defense and pushing the boundary there.

The other theory might be that the three top teams may rather Adelaide in fourth spot ahead of New Zealand???

Well, I think it makes sense, other teams appear to be resting players and preparing for finals, but no coach wants his players or his team taking the foot of the pedal and lose momentum now, so to speak.

So you are suggesting, subtly, that the Hawks are not that fussed if they drop this game Paul?

Yes the key is Randle.

We really need him to play a "captains game" and set up some assists to get Gibbo and Ere alight and DJ sighted in before he risks his knee too much. Five or six first quarter assists would be great.

I believe he has the talent and the grit to really turn it on at will but if he sets up the team first we have a great chance.

Joey's tactics were exposed r18, NZ was train wreck and he didn't fully adjust for Cairns in as much as he didn't set anything up for Ebi early and we need him to fire again.

If Joey gets it Wright we have a chance for two road wins regardless of conspiracies.

Go Sixers

Nice intro' Jack, yes it is showtime, just the platform the 6'ers like to perform on.

Usually!

The key will be Randle, his fitness will be tested early, if he survives the game the 6'ers are a chance, if his injury is not 100%, POW you guys are out...

Just hope the refs don't decide who makes the top 4, let them play hardball!
