Taipans v Sixers Dec 22

McVeigh can’t defend a statue, Sixers got enough those type players, but agree there needs to be a broom put through there.

Kyei should get a contract for next year too. Doing much better than expected and playing with energy and a team first mentality. Maybe not a world beater, but the team needs good role players too.

We have accepted DJs skillset and his shortcomings for years.

He is still a net positive.

DJ's been disappointing this season. Three consecutive turnovers on three straight possessions last night killed any chance we might have had. But it's more than that I'm just sick of him disappearing completely if he feels like he's not getting the ball enough. He rebounds well enough when he's seeing the ball but if not he gives up completely won't crash the boards even less effort on defence.

I think it's getting close to the point where we can't really afford to start DJ anymore. Too many cracks have to get papered over too many concessions have to happen elsewhere. We need a defensive minded good rebounding PF to pair alongside DJ to cover all his flaws which isn't Griffin and we're trying to do with Kyei. We need a back up centre that does some of those things too not a Froling who's even softer than DJ is.

Joey is here to stay ...2 more years or at least until JVG extends him for another 5.

So let's embrace what the Coach brings and support the team.

Yeah I’m more than ready for the 36ers to move on from Joey and all his friends. He’s a salesman, but that doesn’t win titles or games against undermanned hawks teams.

Not to mention left the cornerstones of the organization lealve after punching them in the face. Fucked over Randle. Creek. Sobey.

He is the one who chose these trash messiahs.

Get off the sack joey sleigh cobber. He does exceptional well with limited talent. Needs better admin to support. Retain players.

Bert is on the money NO D

What were big H stats would help.

BIG game by Harry Froling. What are his chances of taking MIP?

Not the best weekend for A elai e.

Not the best weekend for A elai e.

Anon, Adelaide weren’t close

Sixers 0-2 under JvG.

Brendan Teys in 13 minutes as a starter.

0 points, 0 rebounds, 0 assists, 0 steals, 0 blocks, 0 turnovers, 1 foul.

Beast mode activated.

Teys as capt needs to do more. Thought been consistent this season but tonight a no show. Not alone. Mentally not there. Cairns 1st quarter but struggled rest of game. Sixers just couldn't piece together 2 or 3 plays. So close.

McVeigh is the best, because he is over the top excited.

Adelaide bench worse than Cairns, who would’ve thought, especially with future nba stars Froling and McVeigh playing for them. Only light I can see for Adelaide is Kyei.
Kelly proving he can coach at this level and recruit with his picking of imports, I hope they can keep them.

Oh ok, wondered what angle you were coming from. Sadly Adelaide aren’t good enough, to make the game right to begin with. They never turned up mentally today. Cairns sniffed them out early.

Experience Games won this season. When tight. Cairns record poor.

DJ 3 turnovers in 90 seconds. That’s crazy.

Your computer is just fine Jack. Adelaides game plan, not so much.

LOL. my computer must have a virus. It says that Teys started.....

Cairns lead by 11 with 4 left. Newbill just got another layup, after the cairns player simply wanted it more at the other end.

It's turning. Pressure too much.

Anon, what experience do you refer to with Adelaide?

Away cooking for Adelaide helping. Give Cairns a fair go.

Sixers yeah. Cairns have no idea how to close out a game. Randle wants this. Who going with him

Djeric getting in Randle's face but gets a tech

Adelaide are so bad. This is just an ugly slow death.

It's happening. Anoth err tech. Sixers time is now.

Danger zone. 9 point lead. Come on Sixers. Let's use our experience. Close this out. Shaky snakes will fade.

What happened between Oliver and Teys? Just saw a quick clip as they went to the 3/4 time ad break

Sickening how the 36ers get the rub of the green both at home and on the road. Consistency is all I want for Christmas

Randle carrying Sixers. The spark.

Space Cam bouncing the ball off the back of Teys head was hilarious. Possibly worth the tech.

Cairns are struggling. Come on teys.

Taipans deserve this, if they just beat Illawarra they’d be pushing for top two.

‘Defence has been poor’. How about playing some then

Adelaide ain't a playoff team.

I feel like joeys voice has got old and doesn’t have the same effect it once did. This team has come out and not responded whatsoever. Cairns too good

"Both Adelaide teams playing at the same time."
Not sure either are playing, they're on the court sure but not playing.

Perhaps someone shouldda shot it just then, 7 or 8 passes .. as Joey said they were selfish against illawara....

... and on TV.

Both Adelaide teams playing at the same time.

Not sure about analogy he's on fire. Whole fuckin country on fire and it sucks.
But hes a great read.

Yes an OA should be awarded to Jack Toft, he’s certainly more worthy than any politician that gets one.

This is a tricky game to pick, both sides have poor benches and unless Johnson steps up big time Cairns has probably got better starters. Adelaide defensively also liable to let in easy points. Cairns in a close one by 3.

Cairns by 12+. Adelaide have had some honourable losses, but they’ve had some shockers too. Cairns are locked in and will dominate the boards. That hawks loss for Adelaide, is one of the worst and will be costly come seasons end.
