Didn't go with the typical 'sack marty' thread title?

No need to be sarcastic, the thread is valid. But not a chance Radford takes over the reigns, he offers less basketball knowledge than Clarke, just a 'gel guy' for the coaching staff.

Love your work Ingles.

Give the man a break...what about the players?

Would help if DJ was capable of playing D on some level
Every loss can be contributed to the PG attacking from the top of the key and getting wide open lay ups

Ervin
Deleon
Henry
Flynn

All have scored at will and turned games with no help coming to protect the rim.

The players aren't the ones in charge of the shocking rotations. What does Mitch Creek have to do to get some minutes? Comes in has a three point play and then is off a minute later. Meanwhile Croswell plays most of the second half. What does he offer that Cadee and Gibbo cant do? Half the time while hes on Gibbo runs the point anyway, why have a guy who cant shoot play the 2? He's also too slow to stay in front of his man. Surely enough is enough, we should be 7-3 now we are 5-5 and outside the 4 with probably the deepest team in the league

To be fair Cadee was suffering from the flu an Mitch looked like he was hobbling on a bad ankle post game

The man has had a break the last 2 seasons and start of this one. Shocking Win Loss record, and hasnt made a decent sub in his time. Should be resigning in all honesty, he cant be happy with his own standard and has to be second guessing his abilities at this level surely!

Watching the Hawks with a seemingly lesser roster perform so well right now is just depressing too. Love to see the under dog do well, but jesus cant Adelaide catch a break with its recruiting....

Kobe24...Adelaide can't 'catch a break with their recruiting'??

Gibbo?

Petrie?

How much more firepower do you need before the excuses stop?

Marcus Camby, I think you missed the point, Kobe was indicating that with our recruiting we should be doing better.

Mitch Creek came in with 3.30 to play in the first. Benched with 50 secs left in the first. DNP again.

Weigh stank for 3/4 of the game. Mitch outscored him in the two minutes he played until Weigh woke up in the 4th... and still wasn't that great.

The reason people keep hammering these same themes is because they're a genuine issue.

Sixers Admin need to be accountable; after over 3 years of crap, I'm at the point where I'd rather do something else with my time than watch these games. We've been members for 20+ years and it really sucks to see the state we're in.

BJF is right - Cadee was WRECKED when he first sat down. I asked people near me if he had the flu.

I'd much rather have seen Gibson at the point and Massingdale at the 2 spot for the last 5 minutes of that match instead of Crosswell and Gibson, I reckon CJ's got all sorts of veteren smarts and would find plenty of ways to score and contribute if given meaningful minutes but it's virtually impossible to have any sorts of consistent performance when you're only on a for a handful of minutes at a time.

I genuinely think if Crosswell and Schencher both got injured and were out for the rest of the season we would see better results from the team. It's not that Schench is having a bad season as such (although I've never seen anyone blow so many lay ups), and Crosswell has had his moments, but having 9 players in the main rotation is just far too many for one 40 minute game each week (or very occasionally 2 games). If we had Gibson, Cadeee, CJ, Creek, Weigh, DJ and Petrie all playing between 20 and 35 minutes per game I think we'd have far better chemistry than what we've got right now.

On another note, I've seen heaps of Kings games this season and never thought anything of Kevin White, as soon as Madgen gets hurt this afternoon White simply turns into Madgen himself and starts reigning points down. That was bullshit.

Ok so objectively; what's Marty's win-loss as senior men's coach? What's radford's?? What's the trainers? What's the soccer hagi-something guy? What's the manager? (my advance apologies if he's 'special' I've only met him once and he appeared Special needs, so good on him!) what's Leanne CEO record?

"Schencher both got injured and were out for the rest of the season we would see better results from the team"

Obviously you don't see how many scoring opportunities schenscher creates when he is on the court. He isn't having the best year with his layups but we are also not playing to his strengths around the basket and giving him the ball in his favoured positions. DJ performs well on stats but as a team player he is nothing compared to schens
Without him in the team DJ would be our defender...today he had a 5ftnothing guy drive on him 3 times and didn't even raise his freaking arms!!

If someone has time or the info, tony crav's question is an interesting one to know the answer for.....

As in NBL or including AIS?

agree with anonymous. Best line up in the league, worst coaching. Shit I would take Paul Woolpert even instead.

Woolpert is actually a great coach for a veteran / stacked side. If he had this Adelaide roster he would do wonders.

He's just no good at motivating an underdog.

Mick you could probably be a great coach of a veteran stacked side. The measure of a good/great coach is his ability to adapt develop and work with the strengths and weaknesses of his group.

Agree anon chocco or even Gleeson would automatically have this squad in the playoffs. Marty's not up to it & never will be...

Would rather Gleeson, Stacker, etc. Would struggle to follow a team led by FOSOJ.

Although Cadee was unfit to play , Clarke doesn't have the confidence in CJ Creek and others.
Ken Cole is here.

Camel, Ken Cole's ongoing comments deriding Xs and Os coaching is off-putting for me. Smyth always at least had Breheny backing him up and who was the strategical brains of the operation.

Molloy, Baldwin, ask Goorjian what it'd take just in case. Not so keen on Wright - same suspicion as anon.

To Tony Crav. I don't get the dig at trainers etc? What have they got to do with win/loss if it doesn't seem a fitness issue? Also who do you refer to as the manager? Are you talking about Jazzy, the guy that had the wacky mo yesterday? If so, you are so wrong about "special needs". I hear he is probably the hardest working guy in the whole place according what some players have told me. I don't know who you refer to but there are no special needs people involved in this team and I don't think there is any need for such a comment.

I like most would love to cheer on our team to a few good home wins. This is a great team. Hopefully it all comes together real soon, one way or the other. Having been a season ticket holder for more than 10 years and a fan for 25 it's hard not to want to get us back to the smyth glory days, after all it feels like this team could be as good as our 1998/99 one.
