Sixers v Taipans, Jan 11

Overdone with music. I felt like I was at Friday RNB and some weirdass music festival that never stops.
The issue here is, last game, seldom music played. Then this game at every turn, there is music and its LOUD!

To the dropkick who plays with the volume. Come sit in my seat, and lets see if you can bear it. I'm an avid aircraft spotter and love the noise, but seriously blasting music down isn't cool nor is Allen Brown yelling into the mic.

Game wise, one thing I noted, foul count at the end of the first quarter was stupid. 11 to 5. Then the second, they only had 5 fouls up until the last 2 mins. Some games its aggressive and high foul count, then others they let them play. Too hard to work out

So what exactly is the problem with the football guys sitting courtside? Am I missing something?

Seems Moore the league's best sixth man
Deng pretty popular around the place
Some memories of the weigh-clarke era watching cns..

Perhaps goodwill is worth more to the Sixers than the price of the tickets?

Whether you care or not is up to you ,but they have been sitting special courtside
seats and very very obvious they are freebies.
Then I guess facts don't come into when trolling.

Good games from those heavily criticised players in Shorter and Teys in early stages and under pressure times.
Dont know where Sobey was but certainly did not turn up to play.
Childress had ordinary game but if decides to go to basket certainly does it easy.
Moore has been great cheaper import and plays good PG if required .
We still are very suspect to good 3 point shooting but at least got a bit better to cover it when needed.
With decent imports and fit Nate cairns could be good team.
How many free tickets do we give to AFL footy players with bunch of Crows again and few Power.
Its not like they can't afford a ticket with their salaries.

Majok Deng, obv. Stupid auto co-wreck.

Major Deng

Has his rebounding improved this season?

I don’t remember him getting many boards last season, but his last couple of games he’s getting boards.

From footage I’ve seen he looks to have a good sense of where the ball is headed, and uses his wingspan to his advantage in rebounding contests. Last season he looked as though he thought he didn’t have a role on the glass, now he seems to go for more rebounding contests.

I know his court time has gone up lately, so no use in looking at total boards per game.

Maybe rebounds per minute played would show this???

Oh, I forgot - Jawai was also 90% responsible for 2 shot clock violations with late bail out passes from the post.

He is still big but I would say he looked more than a little rusty.

Did Weigh even play? Wow, hat was a devastating contribution to not even notice he was there.

Jawai had one good pass, failed to score in the low post several times on people half his size, and defended the paint from slashing Sixers in only a slightly more mobile fashion than a statue. He bricked a couple of free throws he didn’t deserve and split a couple that he did deserve, for one point on the night.

I would say it was pretty forgettable.

I didn't get to watch this one. How did Nate look?

'Impressive' effort for Steven Weigh to finish with a -20 in less than 10 minutes.

Aylen had his money on Adelaide.It was so obvious when he only calls one foul against Adelaide all game.

Come to think of it they had Creek, Moore and Drmic out injured when they dropped that last game to Cairns too.

They've dropped 4 games to Melbourne yet still have 12 wins along with the other top 4 teams. Looking pretty good at the moment too.

Damm. Cairns make the 6ers look good.

Thats what happens when one team runs and penetrates and the other bombs 3s.

Good win. Cairns did very well to stay in touch and showed a lot of fight. 3 point shooting in the first half was another level. Like how many weapons Adelaide has though. Tough matchups.

Cairns look better when their imports are on the bench.

No finals for Cairns this year. Oh well. Netter luck next year.

That was just weak by Shorter. He wanted to line Loughton up but he waited until he could push him from behind.

Cairns need to shoot more 3's. Worked for the first 3 quarters.

Cairns can shoot the 3! But man are they shit at everything else.

Mrs Teys delivers in the delivery room and Mr Teys delivers on the court.

Amazing 2 fouls now in 7 mins after win secured.

Flop warning on Teys !!! WT get that ref off, he has been atrocious tonight. Cairns unsuccessfully trying to channel Perth. Happy to see Adelaide stock to their own game. Cairns foul countnis their own doing.

12 fouls cheating pr!cks....

Refs are carrying us tonight

TURN THE MUSIC DOWN PLEASE!!!

Cairns you are losing your integeity with this style of game. Lets hope the refs tech them and clean it up so we can get back to basketball. Weeks channelling the Leyland brothers... can’t bring myslef to like him. Cairns were a respectful team but their attitude tonight stinks..

I do try to like Sobey but he really comes across as a little bitch sometimes.

Think of our current monarch.

“Westside bro.”

Jimmy Barnes lived on the same road as us. He was upmarket though. Salisbury.

Davoren Park? Or should that be Staboren Park?

You may claim that “my hometown wins in the battle of 'who has it worse'.”

BUT Adelaide wins that one. It’s the English heritage. My mother was a “10 pound Pom”. Weather-wise, migrating from Yorkshire to an Adelaide summer living in the “tin huts” of the migrant centre at Gepps Cross is worse than Cairns. Of course, I’ve only gone to Cairns in July and August, to escape the terrible cold we have on the Qld/NSW border.

Also, no one out weather-whinges the Poms. There are certain suburbs in Adelaide you can’t visit without a passport and a British Airways ticket.

Before anyone bashes me with their keyboard, I used to live in the north of Adelaide (in a certain suburb the govt chose to re-name, cause that fixes everything of course).

I'm guessing it's Nathan Sobey playing for Cairns tonight.I'm still trying to work out what jersey he'll be wearing.

Tucker never played for the 36ers though.

Brad Davidson?

Maybe it's "renowned talent developer" Rashad Tucker who has Jawai as one of his "proteges" apparently.

“A lot of people do not understand how much work Nate and I put in together that first season,” Tucker said.

“Nate used his strength a lot when he was younger and we always worked on finesse, his mid-range jump shot and passing because that strength can only get you so far.”

That half a season he put in before being sacked was obviously a pretty busy one!

UseTaHoop, your statement about Cairns weather v Adelaide's fills me with pride, in the sense that my hometown wins in the battle of 'who has it worse'.

It's a thing we do up there. We compete with each other about who has it worst. "Oh you have a hard luck story? Well boyo let me tell you how bad I got it."

Surely not Rupert Sapwell? He's been retired for 14 years.

David Cooper?

Interesting I wonder who? Matty Burston?

Maybe Jawai didn't pull up well from the NZ game?

It may be hot in Adelaide, but the humidity’s much lower than In FNQ. IMO 30 in Cairns feels like 38-40 in Adelaide.

Who might suit up, Dome Rat? More importantly, will you venturing out amongst the snakes?

If both teams are at full strength does that mean Drmic is back?

If Stevie Weigh is playing, then its a Sixers win.

Seriously mods on this site need to get rid of this asshole “Cussy” before he destroys this place too

take your massive issues elsewhere d#ckhead

"brain dead Perth fans" - intentional tautology Jack ?

Nah, I would prefer to stick to winding up brain dead Perth fans.

Breakers first home game after going 3-1 on the road. Played terrible against the Tigers yet were still in with a chance to steal the W. Can't see NZ having two horrible games in a row. Breakers by 9 is my prediction.
