To be honest I bashed the Navy Seals after the first game and while I maintain that they shouldn't be out on the court at halftime they HAVE added something positive to the games this year. The couch is a great idea, and they definitely got into Melvin Thomas' head (though there is plenty of room in there).

As far as halftime entertainment, I go to the Sixers games expecting to see a BASKETBALL game, and I personally don't care what is on centre court for the 7-8 minutes between team's leaving for the locker room to when they return to warm up. I don't think that the club HAS to offer up ANYTHING in that time, and I think that it's good that they are doing something. So, if you are looking for something to do, go and buy a hotdog, or take a dump, or talk with friends for that time.

What's that saying- "Damned if you do and damned if you don't"?
Sure the Seals aren't hilarious, but it gives you something to watch after getting a coldie or food at half time.
It was only a few weeks ago that this site was inundated with Doom & Gllom about how weak the 36ers were going to be and there was no value for money.
Now that the 36ers are performing and people are attempting some 'cheap' entertainment, we focus our attack on that.
Keep trying , but you will never please 100% of the people

Why is there so much emphasis (especially in Adelaide) on entertainment outside of the game itself?

I always thought the people that were there, had come along to see the game and not a 8 minute show at half time?!

K.I.S.S. - Keep It Simple Stupid
Some competitions to keep the kids/fans happy during qtr time breaks should be enough! Halftime let the youngsters have their moment of glory on the court and play a little ball, ok this can be boring week in week out so mix it up everynow and than, but I don't think there needs to be this HUGE half time show! For finals sure bring it on, but this is regular season.

With the big screen, there does not need to be any on court entertainment. Why can't the screen be used at half time with entertaining features. On Wednesday night, with Fox telecasting the game, at half time they did interviews with Andrew Gaze and others, they also showed highlights of the game. The only problem is that you could not hear it. I thought to myself I would rather be watching and listening to whats on the screen rather than what was happening on the court. I know the screen is a new addition this season, but it could be used a lot more. All your entertainment could be centred around the screen. Apart from that, our season ticket buys us basketball games. After the last 2 games in particular it beats me as to how anyone could even complain about the entertainment. Nothing else mattered.
