Adelaide v Illawarra Dec 9

Not really, 2015 and 2016 the league was very good and he was first in assists and 2nd/3rd in steals, not to mention GF MVP in 2015.

Jackson at his best played in the league at it's worst though.

I rank Damian Martin as one of the best too, as I said in that post "some guns on there, but plenty of solid players too".

Rhys Martin, Adam Gibson, Shannon Shorter, Mitch Norton, Paul Henare, Kevin Braswell, Luke Kendall, Nathan Crosswell weren't guns, they were all guys who played a role for their team and did it well.

I was responding to the comment "so many teams have tried to reinvent the game by running without a gun PG. Doesn't work." It can and has worked very well if your team is set up well in the other positions.

Great post paul. The evidence speaks for itself.

"So many teams have tried to reinvent the game by running without a gun PG. Doesn't work."

Here are the starting PGs on the GF teams over the past decade. Some guns on there, but plenty of solid players too. Reality is it's about the team you put together, how it functions and if you have a good spread of scorers/role players/defenders, rebounders etc, not whether you have a gun in a certain position or not.

08 Crosswell / Kendall
09 Gibson / Kendall
10 D Martin / R Martin
11 Braswell / Ubaka
12 Jackson/ D Martin
13 Jackson / D Martin
14 D Martin / Gibson
15 Jackson / Wilbekin
16 D Martin / Jackson
17 D Martin / Norton
18 Ware / Shorter

So no ideas on Steven Trigg then....

Let us begin, if I may, with your opening gambit; "Suck it, Adelaide wankers". High brow. Classy. Not attention seeking at all.

Your retort to my assertion that you may, in point of fact, benefit from being punched several times to remedy your idiocy was;

"What a piece of shit you must be, Pete.

Right name for it too. Signs point to double-digit-IQ bogan who needs insulin injections three times a day".

Anon then chimed in with "You're both idiots". I'd usually jump on the grammar attack, but in this case, Captain Rando nailed it.Can't fault you, Anon.

"Guy creating a fake name after a reality TV chef" then backs up with:

"Qualifier: Pete does sound like a wanker who is salty after his side lost, but I shouldn't have said that.

I should have left it at "you're a wanker, Pete"."

Disclaimer: I have a PHENOMENAL amount of work to do right now, as evidenced by still being online at near midnight.

That said, I'm happy to go wangs out to compare credentials, intellect, jobs etc. Crude, but you really do seem like a troll that should be called out. And you seem like the type to post lots but not show up in person.

Or, as I said, you can get punched in the face.

I can't claim credit for the idea; Maynard James Keenan floated the notion in the aptly named song "The Remedy".

If I may:

"Stick around if you're house broken
Can’t hold your shit, hold your tongue, you got to go
Should you choose to react like an imbecile
You'll in turn be treated so

Yes, we’re being condescending
Yes, that means were talking down to you
With all that racket from your lips a-flapping
We assumed you didn't notice

You speak like someone who has never been
Knocked the fuck on out
But we have your remedy".

Slightly paraphrased for the sake of brevity, but I hope you take the intent. Again, I don't have time to spell it out if not.

In summary (hopefully - I legit don't have the time to belittle or beat you online or in person); don't be a trolling attention seeker. Trump has that role covered and he earns more than you.

Enjoy you NBL.

Don't keep being a loud mouthed dick.

Interesting to see someone mention Steven Trigg. I've been wondering if he's been the cause of a few issues behind the scenes. Hard to know I guess but his track record is a worry.

Lovebroker, you're just as bad as Pete. Worse, perhaps.

I'll keep on bashing Adelaide, but need not stoop to the level of their supporters. You're right, I should come to expect it from you lot.

I'm all aboard the Bullets baby, you know this.

Conger can't make a play if he doesn't get his hands on the ball and I noticed Sobey was reluctant to pass to him.
Different game when Doyle came on. Much more ball movement, splitting the D and shots going down.
DJ's game was also not on, very unlike him.

Wonder what magic Trigg is doing? Likelihood, dipping his finger in the pie and taking what he wants. Dodgy ahole

Suck it, Adelaide wankers

Johnson isn't a leader. He's a fairy.
I only play Offense, no D.
Gets into the Boomers cos they are desperados.

So glad to ditch my membership this year for work.

Have to agree about the point guard, needed someone in that last possession to get a good shot instead of Sobey going rogue. Was Conger really the best fit, probably the dominoe effect of Creek not coming back, well done management again.

Qualifier: Pete does sound like a wanker who is salty after his side lost, but I shouldn't have said that.

I should have left it at "you're a wanker, Pete"

No objection here

What a piece of shit you must be, Pete.

Right name for it too. Signs point to double-digit-IQ bogan who needs insulin injections three times a day

Manu Fieldel - you seem like someone that would be fun to beat up.

That's Illawara's MO, hang around, keep it close, pinch it the end. Best game I've seen jordair play. Nice body control taking it to hoop. Another one that got away from 36ers. Money time is all about making ball handling decisions and having the skills to execute. Not sure Sobey has his head for those moments. I would have thought on ball, pull up J should be his go to. He drives a lot but if he doesn't get fouled he usually bricks it.

DJ needs to assert himself more at home.

Conger's play style has me questioning how well he'll fit into this team. Where Conger succeeded last season was in the half-court, get him the ball and let him go to work. Really ball-dominant. Adelaide don't play that way. The ball won't be in his hands much unless Joey lets him dominate the offence.

All about FT. You hit a decent clip and this game is over.

The reason the 36ers lost that game other than the shocking free throws, disorganised offences and dubious refereeing, was that Sobey cannot make a quick decision about passing the ball. He is soo intent on trying to drive in on every play that he consequently dribbles into trouble, turns over the ball and passes to players who are not in a position to save the situation. Fair enough he had 24 points, but only because he WILL NOT and CANNOT pass effectively.
Have to agree with FM all we needed was to set a a 2 point play to win.....

Suck it, Adelaide wankers

Well, that was awful. I couldn't think of an ending that would upset me more.

All that was missing was Sobey confirming his SE Melb contract.

Bevo must love Adelaide. The gift that keeps on giving.

Sobey replaying the Randle vs Illawarra finals series in his head.

Decided he would play the leading part of Randle.

Not sure why we held the ball up on our last offence. A quick shot would ensured we got to finish the game with time on the clock.

Still can’t believe our mindset was hoping they didn’t hit a 3,2 or pick up a foul and nail minimum of 1 foul shot. This game has to be on Joey

Can’t believe they had the same young ref on this game that was part of the last games issues and Vaughan having to babysit the 2. That was poor form NBl. And can they tell me if Moving Screens and Goal Tends no longer draw a whistle because I saw a heap of those. Time to clean up the hook going on as well. This is no longer basketball, its a bastardisation of FIBA and NBA poorly managed. Bye bye basketball. I would rather watch the cricket now. BBL awaits.

Exactly Zodiac......

Now we have spent even more money to not make the playoffs.

Could have saved the money kept Deleon and use that money next season.

Damn..what a wasted opportunity.

Brisbane amd Sydney won so the gap worsens.

Intentionality?? LOL!!

Sobey is not a point guard, he needs to be able to get out and run, wasting him at the point.

Yeah that last layup from Jett would have been rough if you were a Sixers fan

Season just about over for us now at 5-8.

Makes the decision to sign an el cheapo import like Deleon and then hold onto him for 9 games before finally upgrading look even more stupid now.

Why are Adelaide fans booing???

Buzzer beating difficult spin move layup in loads of traffic. Oh me oh my!

Jordair Jeff amazing move. Wow.

It's going down to the wire!

Cedric Jackson can't cope now this league is decent.

Anon #721471....I did notice that.

Is it me or in the opening few minutes, did they miss 2 Adelaide points on the scoreboard?

lol @ Wright.

Doylesanity

Doyle takes centre stage, scoring at will against Cedric Jackson

Nice

sixers will smash em

Australian forward Julian Khazzouh is expected to play with the Lakers in Vegas.
