Who knows? Tipping has gone to hell the last few weeks. Hawks have started to show some consistency, funnily without Ball. 36s only like to show up when they play Perth.
So I'm picking either team by 1 point after triple-overtime

This really is make or break for the Sixers tonight. Win to keep the finals hopes alive despite how unlikely but lose drop to 8th and with just 7 games to go in the season extremely unlikely then unless a good 4-5 game winning streak happens and to be honest no team that loses to the bottom team twice in a row on their own home court deserves to be in the playoffs.

Sixers by 8

I doubt LaMelo will play again this season.

Thanks Anon, the rumour was pretty heavy, but there's nothing in the media about him being back definitely

Win is only option. Get some confidence. Rip the hawks. Sixers still good chance making finals. All teams that they can beat-good home run... sixers tend to respond to the dire straits scenario. They are very emotive group so no longer any casual attitudes - these are now.hard aggressive ball by te group. Anyone under estimate - Sixers match up very well. No way get out rebounded this game.DJ to feast. Griff unguardable. Game decided already.

Would love to be wrong.

If we play like we did at the last game, where Kyei was our worst, Teys ordinary,
but are starters, Hawks will win.
Moore's numbers insufficient for an import.
I'd start Griffin.
If we play like we did against Perth, we will win.
Of the decade just gone DJ is the NBLs top scorer and rebounder

Wouldn't be surprised if Lamelo plays again, as they still have two games left against Sydney, with the Hawks final game of the season against the Kings in Sydney and use it to keep promoting his brand.

One thing is for certain, Randle to get his stats!

B Teys could be Sixers MVP through his consistent season.had really stepped up. Expect big game tonight... he creates makes other around so much better. Unselfish. Almost litmus test of Sixers. Really taken game to another this year. Maybe solo capt.

My man. Opens scoring with big 3. Teys teys teys

BT doing it all... very smart player

So no Lamelo then? bugger!

Great great offensive pace
this is the basketball we like to see

I feel like we could benefit from playing defence in addition to offence.

Of course he's unguardable if Griff spends the game on the bench

Not sure whether Illawarra are good or Adelaide being that bad. Nevertheless a tightly contested and entertaining game so far.

Dech has improved his ability to contribute on offense a lot this season. I wasn't very high on him or his promotion to the starting lineup, but he's proven me wrong.

ugly 4th so far
no gas left in the tank

Pass the bloody ball

Stupid ref with the call its should be a fcking 2

I was told I was crazy when I called Lamelo was done straight away. Seems more and more people are now just assuming that's the case

Boone missed 3 layups/ tip ins in a row at critical times down the stretch and IMO that was probably the difference between the W or the Loss.

Boone is cooked my brother has been trying to tell you all season.

Fo shiz. Boone makes Dario look like super Mario!

Fuck yeahhh .

We look dumb but know our hoops.

Do the NBL still have a citizen award for community work or fundraising?
Asking for a friend.

Great win Sixers. Back in the hunt. Take down United- they are very flaky. Every chance we can. Confidence restored to key players Drmic DJ. Randle gets his always. Froling couple big shots so on the upward trend. Home court worth plenty.

Yeah great NARROW win over 9th team.
Defence.

He's in there to play defence, set screens and rebound, it's got nothing to do with him having weapons, the starters' offence revolves around Randle and Johnson with Drmic as the third wheel.

Johnson has improved defensively but he's not great and the Sixers don't want him in foul trouble. Griffin is one of the worst ball-screen defenders I've ever seen and his rotations aren't much better. He's decent one-on-one, but poor in a team setting.

That, combined with the fact Griffin then gets more shots coming in with the bench, is why Kyei is starting.

Spose Kyei aint a bad player, but it's the worst shooting I seen anybody do.

He does need to work on that pretty hard in the off-season!

Replacing Griffin with a defensive big and Moore with someone better + retaining the rest of the contingent isn't going to get the 36ers into the playoffs next year.

Unfortunately 36ers are tied to a few contracts that we'd rather they shred, and don't have the money to obtain another marquee Aussie.

Would absolutely love if they pulled in Motum again.

C Motum/Defensive Big Import
F Johnson/Kyei

Griffin looked unguardable last night
