17 points

Yeah Kings comfortably and Randle will try to stick it up them but just shoot us out of any hope of winning it.

Kings 15+

Expecting close to 10,000 which is great

Not sure I like the smack against Randle from the Kings on social media. I doubt he needs any more incentive tonight to come out and try and drop 30. I'm expecting us to pick up a win, but the Sixers are still not a great matchup for Sydney, especially Bogut vs Johnson/Froling.

Randle dropping 30 against your boys still unlikely to hurt your boys Angus. In fact, DJ and Randle dropping 30 each probably won't hurt you either.

Is this a Kings fan forum? What's with everyone over rating them on here? They looked putrid against Cairns for 3 quarters last week. Think the bookies have got their price wrong this week. I’ll take the +6.5 on offer for adelaide everyday of the week. Think they’re a sniff to grab the W as well.

Randle doesn't really deliver under pressure, and if he believes he needs to "stick it up 'em" it’s likely to backfire.

How long til 36ers change Moore for another import?

Can't see Moore getting cut if they have to pay out his whole contract.

Did XRef not pay their invoice? Isn't that the sponsor under the tape on the Kings uniform?

It's Jenni Screen commentating

Adelaide are rubbish.

Johnson playing like Ogilvys brother so far

Randle getting spanked by ware so far.

Down 17 already.

Every game so far this round has been a putrid blowout.

Very disappointing 2019-20 season so far.

36ers wooden spoon year

So where's this improved defence Joey was talking up preseason? Sixers making Sydney look a lot better than they are.

Christ we're shit.

He's such a shit owner.

Good run by the Sixers. But this is without Bogut, Tate and Didi.

How many imports does Adelaide have ? I'm counting 5 or am I missing something ?

36ers making Tate look like the greatest import we've ever seen.

Randle, Griffin and Moore. Who do you think the other two are?

Three

Dillon and Kyei aren't imports lol

The worst half I've ever seen from Adelaide - terrible!!

This will be the norm for Adelaide unfortunately, way outclassed talent wise by every other team in the league

Dillon and Kyei aren't imports lol

Ok - makes sense - I don't know where they’re from then - Aussies ?

"It's not over because Joey Wright will be giving them some tips at half time" FMD

Commentary fail today.

One game for Saturday and we're given whoeveritis and Whittle? With Gaze/Heal ACTUALLY at the game and literally given the opportunity to say one thing each up until halftime? Gaze and Heal should be calling the damn thing!

Whittle is particularly bad to listen to. The female version of Rosen talking non-stop, never deviating from whatever format she learned when she took commentary 101. Probably wouldn't be so bad as a sideline reporter being heard from 3-4 times a game. All game, no thanks. I feel like she's been shunted in to a lead role this season bEcAuSe EqUaLiTy.

LK has generally proven to be a genuis but the commentary changes are massively rubbish to date and taking away from the product.

My Tate 15+ bet is looking pretty decent LOL

Who the hell is Whittle?

Heverin has been really good. Him and Gaze doing every game - which they can with the studio setup - would actually make it watchable.

Yes, they're Australian. It’s a little sad how easy it was to know what you were getting at.

Just my ignorance really -:I thought Dillon and Keyi were from US. Nothing sinister in my post - just asking :)

Ok I'll shut up then - have no idea apparently!
At least I’m not "anonymous"

This implosion by the Sixers.

I can't believe I'm saying this but bring back Heal.

Bring back Brad Rosen and James Harvey

The commentary on Twitch is amazing.

Rodney O is a better commentator than these bunker fools.

I understand this particular game wasn't the most exciting, however, sometimes it better to say nothing at all than say ridiculous statements that make you lose all credibility as a 'professional' commentator. Jenni Screen- 'Jack McVeigh will be an integral part of this league for years to come'... sometimes silence is the better choice.

In fairness, with everything the Sixers have done in the past few weeks it is not unrealistic to expect the Sixers to be better and more competitive in a round or two.

Things don't look great but perhaps reserve judgements for a couple of weeks at least.

Tate was great, so was Newley and Moller. I also don't think I've ever seen Kickert play a game as good as that one. I mean, he still doesn't box out, but his weakside and man D was actually pretty good, in addition to the points. I think he had more positive defensive positions this game than last season combined. Hopefully nothing serious for Lisch and Bogut.

The Sixers looked like they just gave up. Even with the Kings bench on in the 3rd when they got some stops and made a run as soon as the Kings put a few baskets together the shoulders slumped and they checked out. Griffin I thought was a bit unlucky on a couple of his fouls - ie. the usual treatment for import bigs in the NBL.

Sixers lost their way every time Griffin went off. Leading 13-5 in the last quarter, with about 4 mins left. Griffin gets his fifth, offence dries up, out scored 13-4 to the whistle. Happened similarly in second and third quarters. Story of the game for the Sixers I reckon.

Yeah Griffin getting taken out of the game by fouls pretty much killed the game for the Sixers. I thought he looked ready to dominate Tate early. After DJ, the Sixers Aussie contingent falls away quickly - apart from Drmic, they are either past their best or very inexperienced. Sixers will depend heavily on DJ, Griffin and Randle in every game.

Could be a long season for Sixers fans....

The season thus far has disappointed because it has suggested early there is a 2-tier comp ahead.
Adelaide, Illawarra and Cairns look very unconvincing, but not sure from there about who should be joining them in the bottom; maybe even Brisbane.
Sad, after such off-season anticipation.
These clubs and their coaches have been talking it up, describing the decisively different style of game they intend to play, how well they have prepared, and more.
It's just not there, I think.
That will be bad for the underachieving franchises, but it will be bad for the League, too.
On top of that, the NBA/NBL games have highlighted for me what a cupcake shebang we’re actually watching.
Our best simply cannot defend a spread floor.
Still, I’ve paid my money. And I’ve been very wrong before!

Adelaide has played one game and against one of the favourites Kings in Sydney.

Are we really going to base a bottom 3 prediction on that sole outing?

Not saying there are no concerns but hardly cause for total despair.

I think we always knew that there is most likely 1 playoff spot that the rest of the league is fighting for.

We are not out of it by any stretch.

Sack Joey.

Cairns could be competitive at full strength, but already dealing with injuries, Adelaide, let's give them another game, but it didn't look good

Joey needs to look at recruiting elsewhere besides QLD giving contracts to all his mates
Co captain TEYS what a joke, hardly gets on the court as he cant play properly, gets spanked in Premier league let alone NBL
I feel sorry for the guy who owns the sixers
they need the same people who tore the crows apart to come in and do it to the sixers
Start at the top, cant coach just yells at refs, looks like a court jester
Go Creeky , go McDaniel, go anyone except the team that is full of useless people that isn't worth supporting
I would rather watch a team full of locals play with a couple of imports and have a crack instead of a bunch of FIGJAM people who arent

"The season thus far has disappointed because it has suggested early there is a 2-tier comp ahead.“

Yes, that was my thought after (most of) the first two rounds. There really does appear to be a gulf between the cashed up teams and the rest. Still, past seasons have seen a lot of ups and downs for all teams, cashed up or not. And injuries can make a big difference - as with Melbourne vs SEM game last week. So let's hope the next few rounds are more interesting and competitive and the league ends up being tighter than it looks right now.

If we got rid of Moore and replace with a decent slasher true 3 spot we are back in business. Make Ramone an assistant coach who trains, then can be injury cover + also be awaiting citizenship for next season.

"Gets spanked in Premier League"

"Stopped reading here."

x2

Clearly lacking one good Australian along with the lack of clear direction in imports.

Can't blame Joey, If the owner doesn’t want to spend the money to be competitive.

Only one game in but going as expected.

I feel sorry for the guy who owns the sixers

Adelaide teams have been doing alot of self-inflicted damage lately...

Wasn't the Taylor/Randle swap an ownership decision as well? Coaching staff also got shocked by it?
Feels like Wright might not be the one at fault here

Coach Joey : "Did you know Jerome Randle is available." He said to 36ers owner.

The owner is a tightass and just wants to make money, Look at the Childress signing, spend money and make it back through success.
