I would expect NZ to get this at home.
Kyrin Galloway as expected has been named as Rob Loe's injury replacement.

Sixers have shown in the last 2 games that they just DGAF anymore.

NZB by 6

NZ by however much they like. Infinity even.

I could see the Breakers looking to make an example of us tonight much like they did in the NBL Cup, just hope it won't be another 40+ point loss.

Breakers by 17

was gonna be on tv sbs viceland, but i don't think it is, now..

Some dude painting instead.

It's on espn and sbsondemand

McVeigh is getting a bit carried away with some of these silly shots.

Monotone SBS painting dude is more entertaining than the 36ers

How many of these are on guaranteed contracts?

They are playing like they don't care about having a job next season

I don't think Paul and Crocker are even interested in auditioning for next season's NBL contract.

Who's option is it for Humphries contract?

If Humphries walked, I wouldn't be too upset.

When fit he is a Top 3 big man in the league.

But he is fit 50% of the time, I don't blame the Sixers for this.

But we have a sample space now, and we know what happens when we get injury prone people even the absolute stars. Eg. Josh Childress.

Honestly wouldn't even mind clearing out the squad and start as an expansion team.

Go hard for Kay and build around him.

Who's option is it for Humphries contract?

This is a young D Dillon at cairns playing his way into a contract surely

Yep Dillon is letting everyone know he definitely isn't done.

That Galloway dunk was huge.

Breakers want to win next season they need to release the Webster brother or else they will not win..last year when c. webster went to overseas the breakers kept on winning and almost in the finals..my only my observation..

But prior to going to China the Breakers saw fit to sign C. Webster to a contract extension, pretty sure he's under contract for another 2 years but I think T. Webster will be a FA at the end of the season.

Really love the way Dillon is playing these last 3 games, if in any doubt always back self-interest!

Paul puts a hole in the backboard lol

Humphries is a "mutual option" meaning he can leave if he so desires.

I think 'mutual option' is code for a small payout if the team declines to bring the player back.

Honestly there is a good chance we drop every game to the end of the season. All tough teams with hard travel.

The lack of respect for Bob Ross in this thread is disappointing.

If Adelaide had a three point shooter they'd have won.

The same people hanging shit on Crocker are the same who hung it on Dillon all season. Classic stuff.

Crocker has been more than acceptable for the role he was recruited for - he hits shots and stays in front of people. As for Dillon, anyone who's done any actual research into him understands how messed up his body was last season, this season he has been playing behind Giddey so the minutes haven’t been there.

Morons want every import to be Cotton level when that’s not realistic.

What does that say to the rest of the team - the season was about making Giddey look good with you guys just the support cast, and now he's looking good for the draft,

Well to be fair they effectively said all this by Giddey's signing. The Sixers knew they weren't going to be contenders this season so put their hand up for Giddey no doubt with the promise to start him/play him heavy minutes much like with the LaMelo Ball situation at the Hawks last season.

Supposedly we did spend big on Humphries, helps to keep the fans coming to games if the team/Giddey is struggling. Dech the talk was we were the only team offering him a 3 year deal, decent long term investment probably on suitable money. Sloan? Who knows what he was on but being an NBA vet he wouldn't have come cheap.

The reality is though Giddey and his people never would've agreed for him to come here without the promise of starting/big minutes regardless of his or the team's form.

FWIW, given the circumstances this season I thought the Sixers put a reasonable team on the floor this season.

" who hung it on Dillon all season"

Who?

I don't recollect a single person criticising Dillon all season. He hasn’t played nearly enough to be targeted. I think you’re straight up making that up.

+1 to targeting White & Rigoni

Adelaide's offense often stalls, shooting percentages ~20-30%, lots of movement around the perimeter but very little success actually moving the defence around, passes picked off to the bigs etc.

"Solutions" there are:

#1 Hope to retain IH and that he doesn't get injured
#2 Make sure to give DJ the ball more consistently through phases of the game so he doesn't go missing - when on with IH he has a jumpshot that forces a big out of the key
#3 Target an import scorer + White + Rigoni to give consistent three point shooting so that if opposition cover off DJ + load up on IH that wide open threes are there with players who can knock them down
#4 Target an import distributor to replace Giddey that can work on pick & roll action with IH
#5 Use Pinder + McVeigh as "off the bench" sparks, give them defined roles
#6 If Dech is going to be working so hard on defence, find ways to get him more frequent quick rests so that it doesn't affect his shot on the offensive end - I think there is a fatigue factor to his offence

Well to be fair they effectively said all this by Giddey's signing. The Sixers knew they weren't going to be contenders this season so put their hand up for Giddey no doubt with the promise to start him/play him heavy minutes much like with the LaMelo Ball situation at the Hawks last season.

SBS -" The game will be shown in delay. we have to wait. "
"Wait faster.' I said.

How many of these quarters do there appear to be in a game?
Three (3) on MBL tv.

Anyways, NZ shot the lights out.
In the ole days, if a gun shooter
could shoot the lights of a candle out, he was considered a good shooter
and we adopted that.

Daniel Dillon is some kinda supa player
