Sixers Pre Season Communication

Breheny has said today that the team did not know that Blitz was on until the start of this month yet the sixers site had it as a story months ago.....what is going on? Is the communication that bad in the place?

Someone in the Sixers posting to their forum thought the Blitz was in Melbourne at one stage, so who knows.

Although it was known for a lot longer he said that it wasn't until the beginning of this month that it was confirmed as being on. "The Blitz was only confirmed early this month when ABC Learning Centres agreed to sponsor the series".

It still raises the question as to why they were not better prepared for it knowing the possibility was there. By better prepared, I also mean decline their involvement if necessary.

Kent it just wasn't confirmed and because of the risk of it not getting off the ground and to prepare as best as possible for the first game the sixers took up the NZ option. Sounds like we will be underdone for the trial games and certainly lacking in cohesion as a team but it may mean that ultimately we are better prepared because our problems will be exposed. It is just a matter of whether we have time to get it right. Shame Mahersy is sitting down because adjusting the team style and balance is going to be the problem. Without seeing boxscores it sounds like we are shooting a crap percentage. The biggest worry with this team will be sharing the ball and making sure that we are taking high percentage shots based on decent offence.
One big positive this year is that we should be able to run with different styles quite successfully this year... Good outside shooters and also could put on a very fast combination and run the floor til some of the heavier opponents have steam coming out their ears....eg brannen and bradtke. Still might lack power/back to the basket offence.
