Perth v Adelaide Feb 15

Is Froling getting suspended for kicking out at Hire?

NBL are soft on these things, yet throws unsportsmanlike foul for those run away fouls.

Bit harsh on Sobey, he is not a point guard, and is playing out of position due to poor recruiting by the sixers. He would do a lot more damage IMO if he was played on the wing and allowed to get out and run, him playing the point has taken away his natural game.

meanwhile Casper is missing layups and chucking up bricks in a loss to the bottom team that might of cost his team top spot but the votes were already in so no worries

Not that his performance last night would have factored into the MVP calculations. But I mean why would it? It's not like that was an important game with loads at stake for both teams. Games like that should have no bearing on MVP voting right? What an awesome system. While we are at it I think we should decide the NBL champions after 4 of the 5 games of the series. The last one is pretty meaningless.

Sorry we haven't got the extra import to spread the minutes but we have the real mvp!

Minute spreads really interesting in this game

Perth looks like they'll ride their starters hard come playoffs (Adelaide too if they make it)

When your down around 12 points the
last thing you want is an unsportsmanlike foul to gift the opposition freethrows and possession, but gees Greg Hire changed the gane with that.

As soon as someone made a stand all the momentum went perths way.

With how emotional they are, Adelaide seem really easy to rattle and take away their focus.

Totally agree ShortersBiceps. He gets it from his parents especially Mummy who is a total nutcase when she has been coaching QLD North at AJC Womens nationals. If she had of being coaching Canberra in WNBL Grand Final the other night when Adelaide got that last second winner,security would have been escorting her out of the stadium after the refs had ejected her if the refs were still standing.

Harry has tried to kick a few times throughout the season. But as long as you shake hands at the end of the game I guess you stay classy

Well Done Harry, Complains to the refs non stop, flays his arms around when he is stripped of the ball, kicks out and elbows like a petulant child and screams like a goat to get a foul payed on him... Lady's and gentleman I give you Rookie of the year....What a joke...

C'mon guys stop bagging Johnson and Sobey when they are left carrying the can. They played more minutes and were feeling it. Maybe Joey could have given Deng more than 3.05 mins and Johnson might have brought us home.

Sixers consistently fade with their perimeter shooting in the second half and particularly in the fourth when the pressure is on. Joey seemingly has not addressed that. Perth just kept hitting from the perimeter consistently.

However the season ends Sixers have done extremely well given their budget limitations in an NBL comp where things are not all equal!

Moore was horrible in the last quarter, fouls, turnovers. Drimic was good but like all 36ers don’t turn up in second half. Perth’s to lose from here, can’t see that happening.

Sixers can't close out games when you have sobey, Johnson and Conger as your "go to" guys. Lack composure and too impulsive.

Moore was spent (only been back for a week after time off) which is why he made bad decisions on defense and fouled shooters.

Surely Brisbane don't choke tomorrow, not against Breakers.

Lochie Read said Melbourne have to defeat Perth by 33pts. The West Australian newspaper said 50.

Who is lying?

What made Damian Martin angry on the bench?

Let's go brizzy!

Look at that Cattalini-Rogers Cup!

Why wasn't Froling ejected for kicking Hire?

OMG HUNGRY JACK'S HAVE A NEW NBL AD.

Big gameday in front of the TV for SWOOP CITY tomorrow - Lightning WNBL GF Game 3 followed by Bullets-Breakers.

The win is in the bag, you'd be best served planning ahead

Cheers Froling you Numpty! Game turned on your 3rd are stupidly

Win tomorrow first.

Holy Fuck PW, just realised this is the original prophecy. Buzzas beat Perth in semi final series

RIP in piece firty sixers

Appreciate the fun natured thread lads :) Pleasant change.

Poor Joey, he even had his playoff vest on

ADL were trying to foul. Hire got mauled but the ref didnt want to blow anything.

Can't believe I bought a Sobey jersey for this

Keep at it Pete, you sound like an old school supporter like me. Well done for not stooping to the usual forum antic of extreme sooking.

Menzclub in Richmond.

Great team, great franchise.

The NBL should model themselves on the Wildcats.

Best of luck.

If you'll excuse me, I'll go cry into my Sixers gear.

No usf? Surely a push is not a play at the ball?

Cool decision not to foul with a 2 possession game

Geez Adelaide are dumb. You have to foul there.

Thanks Pete. Its still not over for the Sixers,

I will be cheering for the other results cos I'd love a matchup vs the Sixers for the drama. Even though I do hate them at times. Same as I hate NZ at times.

Likewise Perthworld - congrats.

Shut up Lachy

Now they're playing fucking Sandstorm. God almighty

Good old Perf Wildcats 4evvvvaaaa

They know how to play teh refs

Game by game they get home coooo-king

To uphold their really shit name!

One of the biggest chokes for a long time.

Cheers Flop - appreciate that.

Won't lie - this one stings. A lot.

Better team, better coached, rocking their home. Well played mate.

I'll take my leave at this point sir.


Best of luck in the finals.

No back-court there by Cotton?
