SEM Phoenix vs Brisbane Oct 13

Lovebroker, leaving aside all the accusations back and forth, we failed to get a commitment from him on his return from the NBL and now he is playing like an MVP for the Phoenix! That’s an absolute disaster if you want to be a successful team.

Probably prefer refs to be reactive rather than proactive with new imports.
Good to see Roberson play this game.
(Would like to see Griffin play for 36ers)

I’m not writing Brisbane off yet but it was a shit performance after a good start. Phoenix without Wesley were very good. Roberson and Creek excellent, good team balance with all players contributing. Stephens shot the ball well but has to work on his defence.

I still support the Taipans but am afraid they won't be top 4 again this year, like the Bullets. Concerning times for Queensland basketball. Really worried PW

Bullets need Vukona far more than they should but will be interesting to see how much they use him and his hustle and rebounding and leadership.

Not impressed by Singler and as for Braun, I'm sorry I don't remember anything he did during that game.

Stephens is an absolute asset and every team should have chased him hard during the off season.

Really enjoyed Roberson and I wonder how quickly commentators will be enamored with his play like they are Casper Ware.

Just change teams again if Bullets are mediocre? You did so with the Taipans.

No, you're right lovebroker. The last post was not the truth, this post is. I was just SO UNHAPPY with the boys performance this afternoon. Do I think players need to be SACKED? YES. No point wasting time being MEDIOCRE. Buzzas season promised so much and I can see it slipping away

Talk crap.
Get called out.
Ohh....I was being sarcastic LELZ.

Manu's Modus Operandi.

Haha you pricks actually think I was serious. CRISIS!!!

Should I spell wOrDs lIKe tHiS so lovebroker understands sarcasm or?

He bailed on the Taipans and then tried to bandwagon on an imaginary bullet train.

Few hours ago.....

Buzzas to blow them off the court.

hey need to SACK PLAYERS right now or something. Hugely CONCERNING

You’re taking the piss

Ass*

Add sufficiently handed to Brisbane today. They need to SACK PLAYERS right now or something. Hugely CONCERNING

Bullets were playing their third game in a week too. Hard to gauge both sides this early in the season.

but as a Sixers fan, I just shake my head at management losing him just as he hits his prime.

Standard 36ers management

Mitch Creek 53 points in two games for the Phoenix! Well deserved success for him, but as a Sixers fan, I just shake my head at management losing him just as he hits his prime.

Good game, fire that DJ and please ban the crowd heyo reply thing from all sports please

6,000 is a good crowd first up

“They will need to work on that if they want to attract larger crowds and become sustainable long term”

ROFL

As if that’s what’s going to bring in paying fans or casuals or whatever. Surely it’s the icing on the cake, not the actual cake.

Those are total views I think of the channel, so all games ever streamed. About 250 watching this particular game.

They're certainly not shy on blasting continuous music at SEM.

My guess is Phoenix realised Armstrong's game wasn't all that great so he wasn't a rotation player. He pouted, so they sat him even more. Armstrong told his management that he wants out of Australia, so will be on a plane soon

Hardly anyone in the crowd wearing SEM merch

UTH, swole means muscular. Jacked, beefy and thewy are other fun words that mean the same

Manu

What is swole?

I’m guessing you got auto co-wrecked, but I’d love to know what you meant.

Alright?

My take on Illawarra is that they could push for 4th (I think top 3 is set).

Scenario 1. Their younger players will improve and play more minutes as their older players start to slow over the season.
Scenario 2. Or their younger players will be found out and join their older players in diminished performance.

Bottom line is their final placing will be interesting

Buzzas to blow them off the court.

Magnay is one to watch. 21 years old, injury free now and getting swole. Great athlete and his job is simplified by in-control vets on the perimeter. Sobey, Gliddon, Braun, Singler, Patterson, Cadee all have experience and can make plays with and without the ball. Of all teams in the league, they most have their shit together, despite Andrej coming in late from WC.
And big thanks to Adelaide for giving Sobey a year at the point before he left

Could go either way. I'm thinking SEM in a close one.

I’m tipping SEM.

A genuine NBL Star. Good import input. Experienced players. They’re only going to get better as their team and culture develop over the season. Their riskier games will be between the first few games and about the 2/3 mark of the season. They could be a surprise to sneak into the 4.

Illawarra might also surprise for the 4 as well. Ball will improve over the season, as will their other younger guys. But Boone and other older players will suffer towards the end of the season.

True, Wesley only played 5 minutes against Melbourne and SEM still won, I think they're on a high and their first home game.

The 6ers are due for a win and are great money at $2.20. I'm putting a hypothetical thousand bucks on them.
