Kings vs Someone, but it's not the Sixers!

On a positive note (God only knows we need some positives right now) the worst of the road games are out of the way. The remaining seven games of the season and particularly the 3 at home are all quite winable games. The team has to focus on winning everyone of their remaining games. A lot of confidence will be gained winning the remaining games for the finals series. As mean as this may sound, Farley needs to move out from his family for the next 2 months. The difference between last season and this season is having his family with him. If he has a job to do and family is interfering, he either moves out or re considers his position on the team. If the two aren't mixing, something has to give. By the way, I am quite prepared for all the flack that I will cop for making such a harsh statement so go ahead, fire those missiles.

Jeff Brown maybe? What was that, about 1997?

It's just such a shame with Farley as, I have always thought, one of the best things about his game was his passion and intensity. And that seems to have disappeared.

It will be interesting to see if Boti can find a way to blame this on (insert ex-CEO here).

Townsville is trying to out-do us: down 36 after three.

If you start moving Farley to the bench you might as well cut him.

The increase in turnovers over the past few games is alarming as throwing the ball away IS NOT something that Adelaide teams have historically done.

Also, given that we played most of the night with one guard plus 4 front-courters, how the f*ck do we give up 26 offensive rebounds?!?!

Scoop wasn't the only one playing in the off season.
While your're think'n about that, backtrack a bit & ask yourself when Neon Leon had an off season break.

I didn't think it could get any worse than the Hunter loss, but there you go.

Something has to be done, shoot a hostage and cut someone.

Cooper would be up there for me at the moment, as he has been absolutely useless for the past 10-12 games after being so productive last season and the first 10 games of this one. This was also why I was against signing Paul Rees again as, in the event of Cooper playing badly, Rees is no longer a viable backup at centre in the NBL. Rees has more altercations with opposition players/coaches than blocked shots this season. We are week in the middle, which wouldn't be exposed as much if Farley played ANY perimeter defence.

Good to see Holmes have what from the online scores looks like a solid game, and I'm happy to see Hambour get some playing time. He should get Cooper's minutes in the game against the Razorbacks. Dusty scored well, but only 3 rebounds!

The Kings have shot the ball really well all year from 3 point range, so you have to wonder why you would be running a lineup like Hill, Hambour, Forman, Rychart, and Rees. Of course you are going to give up three pointers!

I don't know when Maher did his hamstring, but if it was before he left you have to ask why they wouldn't take Brad Gerlach so that we had more than just 2 guards dressed for the game. Perhaps we should have asked Goorjian to borrow Luke Martin for the night!?!

How I feel for Jake, the only guy that busts his Moltens all game, with his scoring, rebounding, & assists has to play chump time? FFS, Willy should have been out there for the Fat Lady humiliation, not Jake. Dusty, nice score, but 0 fouls?
Our shooting from the hospital stripe (no charity from Sydney) was atrocious, but still earnt us a good portion of our points.
Last quarter soft? Kings bench play major minutes & commit only 4 fouls? Maybe that's why they're not starters.

I'll mention this now before all those people out there who can't seem to acknowledge that we are in some serious trouble: Adelaide is without one of our best players (Maher) and have a couple of others carrying injuries, and are playing a tough as hell team on the road.

That this is the exact same excuse for this type of performance that Hunter could have used last Saturday.

But they didn't have to.

Footnote: Farley, 4 points and 1 FG: what are the chances he's sooking after the three-quarter freeze-out he copped on Wednesday?

(Mod: Added some bold. Very good point.)
