Phoenix v Sixers Nov 18

Why bother changing the narrative to "calf tightness" when announcing that he should be good for the next game if it's not the case? You might as well just continue with the deliberately vague "medical issue" and move on.

Zero chance it's genuinely calf tightness. If it is medical it's not an injury, it's something more personal.

Joey said several times "he just has some medical stuff going on". Today it's being reported by the club as calf tightness, which doesn't surprise me...that's been his issue for the past few years and they were probably hoping they didn't have to admit that it's an ongoing problem.

If he was injured, they'd say that instead of "we just need to play hard".

Moore is injured, they're just not saying what exactly it is at the moment.

Moore and Froling have been absolute crap this season, Sobey playing like a one man team at Brisbane, certainly was better at Adelaide.

Yes, they won, but he didn’t know they would win, prior to top off. If they’d lost, which was likely, Joey would’ve had questions thrown his way. Was a dumb move regardless of issue and result to sit Moore. ADELAIDE can’t afford the luxury of playing dictatorship when they are so bad.

Try telling that to Ramone Moore, Nathan Sobey, Harry Froling etc the list goes on.

Joey like a lot of good coaches would rather maintain team discipline and sit someone down then win a single game.

Coaches are a strange lot, you would think with there job on the line they would play best form players but seem to still back reputation. This year Wright, Lemanis and Flinn seem to change to guys that perform of late and got better results, well Flinn and Wright anyway. The playing of Kyei and Deck has made both sides better defensively which shows in results.
Gleeson has haters but you don’t perform you sit, maybe it’s why he’s successful.

"Looks like Dillon has decided to actually start doing something.
Literally hadn't scored for the season until last Sunday, where he had 8 points, and had 14 tonight."

Amazing what can happen when you're actually allowed onto the court, huh?

Remember when Madgen chucked a chair and got teched up? Man, those were the days.

Give Deng Acuoth some game time FFS! The kid can protect the rim like a demon.

Im curious now about Moore too, id assume it's his calves.

Gawler South Bakery still in business though, somehow.

Shame red door bakery is gone :(

They're probably still better than the Mrs Mac's shit we have here.

Anyone got any further info as to why Moore didn’t play?

Injury, illness or discipline?

6ers won't make finals. Not sure what pie you're eating, but this a massive over reaction to beating a team, coming off a tough run of games.

Adelaide 8/13 from 3, 60%

Won’t see that very often

Kyei, Drimic, Randle and Dillon very good. Froling is a statue, Griffin very good offensively but got work on defence.

Creek is Creek rest side average, Madgen is in Goulding, Cotton flopping a grade category. SEM won’t play finals.

Good stat Zodiac. However, sometimes it’s not just about points scored. If you take 30 shots to score 20. All 2 pointers you’ve blown 20 shots

Now all you know all's who been cracking joey and his team - reassess.
Loving those vets.

Ramone Moore DNP, not good not good at all.

Creek 12 x 20 point games in 8 years with Adelaide, 7 x 20 points games already with SEM.

Mitch Creek in focus. 7/19. Was he shooting with his eyes closed.

Noice 36ers win, salvages the fight for the fourth spot

What an 6ers haven't come off tough weekend v Perth.

And I thought we’d survive a match without a stupid Griffin foul. I was wrong.

Eat humble pie. All been knocking dillion white griffen. Joey worked his magic. Sixers will play finals.
Start of mini round.
Sixers be smart here boys.

Who cares. Winners.

DJ DJ DJ DJ

Magden. Genius play. Not! Dumb as a post.

SEM are crumbling. Sixers just keep ship steady... Awesome

Lol what u doin madgen, brain explosion

Madgen biggest flopper in the NBL.

DJ come on. Step up. Need the options. Just attack. Score boys.

If we lose this we honestly have to start considering severing ways with Joey. Five straight

There's the Madgen flop I was calling for earlier..

^ You have a point on Froling

This is going to be a very interesting final quarter.

SEM down by 15 points now only by 5.

How so? Looks to me like the sixers are doing a classic job of f..king themselves, again.

Sixers have all the answers. Froling you star

Vaughan's back.

Live bet on SEM here is huge value.

City of Churches or the City of Chokers?

FFS Joey GET FROLING OFF

Sixers' lead slipping.

Phoenix have as many band members as they do supporters.

Get Griffin off the court for FFS
