we lost it half way through the 3rd quarter
we looked flat and out of sync.

We sat through possibly the darkest hour in Sixer memory and portions of the crowd turned on their own team for the first time in 19 years.

Select the 4th quarter tab.

Sorry but everyone at the game knows what happened in the fourth quarter and we've been witness to the same processes all season. So there is really nothing new to discuss.

I think I might have something different to add: The Sixers did the honourable duty of letting the Taipans win so the likelihood of the Tigers making the finals become little more than a mathamatical probability.

Folks we should be celebrating, not booing (ok I didn't boo on the outside but I definately felt like booing on the inside)

I would just like to see something run through the post rather than have our bigs setting screens at the top of the key and forcing a deep 2 over and over and over. Oh and that decision by DJ on the loose ball late in the 4th was just swell.

Steve, Loughton kept getting left open. Had 15 including some big threes. 36ers went to water and were probably lucky to have the 7 points - Carter had 3/3 FT after a silly foul by a Taipan. A number of 36ers offenses just got bogged down and resulted in turnovers or poor shots.

Johnson had been having a decent game but came in too late in the fourth when momentum had well and truly swung (13 points stripped from our lead by that time). Taipans continued from there to run it home 9-2 over the final few minutes.

Adelaide didn't even score in the last two minutes. Three turnovers and then two missed threes. Cairns had all the confidence by then.

It's simple we (The Sixers) are crap, we need to work as a team

Anon 310463 - I have never booed a team I support, Sixers included. That said, fans are expected to cheer, shout and otherwise give positive feedback when the team has done well. There have been a lot of standing ovations over the years. So when the team has done very poorly, some negative feedback is okay by me - even if I won't be giving it. As someone else pointed out, it's a sign of how passionately some fans feel for the Sixers. I'm sure these fans will be the first to cheer the Sixers on when they show the heart and efforts that Sixers' fans expect and deserve. It's up to the players and coaches to use the boos to motivate themselves to turn things around on the court.

Dont bag or blame the team, the blame should go to the guy running the team, which is the coach and he should take FULL responsibility!

Personally, I think booing your team is poor form.

The Sixers had the Taipans on the ropes last night. Up until 3 qtr time, the Sixers were like a domme in a dungeon with a fat, balding, middle aged bank executive - in total control and everyone knew it. Then, the fourth quarter, they had as much control over the Taipans as Pee Wee Herman controlling a group of Hells Angels at Ponde.

At 3QT the Sixers were as popular as Justin Beiber making a surprise appearance at a girl's 13th birthday party, at FT they were as popular as a Colonel Gadaffi in Eastern Libya.

yeah i could never boo my team, hell i gave them a spot clap as i walked out of that place as quick as i could. But rest assured i was giving the hell inside. Sad thing is maybe they had to hear it, that is the owners through to the players, just hear that a certain level of annoyance has been reached.

Seems it was the biggest last qtr comeback in an NBL 40 minute game.
(Let's hope that the Hawks don't have to train on Sunday.)

SOS need to listen to the fans and supporters. With Marty doing Boomers does this mean he is getting paid? Does this mean the writing is on the wall and it is the pre-cursor to his departure? Fans wont come if the same coach is there next year, is my guess!

Wonder if there will be a straight swap with Marty and Shane Sixers Coach <---> Boomers Assistant Coach

Only one relable scorer (Ballinger), double triple team him, scoring dries up. No visible offence against a zone. Goodbye scoring.

Majority of the players play for the opportunity and the money. This is only their club whilst they play here. The SA boys grew up wanting to play for this club... The fans have been supporting this club for decades and are the true heart of the club.

The fans should not accept a lack of heart and are right in expressing when they feel they have been let down. Remember it is the fans that have to talk to defend there club to others. Someone on this thread stated that they had never seen the crowd turn on the 6ers but it happened in this game.

Remember Scotty a true sixers player/spectator (South Australian) lost his coaching position for coming 8th. If we get rid of one of our own for poor performance, I can't see how Marty can have a future in Adelaide after 3 more weeks.

Yeah he got sacked for poor performance of the team, same as this coach should get sacked for the same reason!

Well on the outside looking in that what it looked like - so perhpas if you are so smart and in the know, how about you share what you know?

Bake, when Ballinger wasn't even out there at all, the team were +9. Earlier in the game, Ballinger got his points in the natural flow of the game, IMO. As soon as we started to force it to him, things came to a halt.

You guys talk shit. Do coaches turn the ball over? Do coaches put the ball in the Hoop? Do coaches play D? Maybe thats were the 6ers are at, the players need to be accountable its the Pro's.Coaches teach and some players are just Dumb.

I certainly would not boo my team but can understand why some did that was the worse loss I can remember and as a previous poster we did not look like scoring in last Qtr everyone froze and Clarke did not have a plan BCD or any other plan.
Why did not some-one just get the ball and attack the basket. Some of those turnovers were comical if not our team.
Sure Creek is exciting but long way from being a champion that Clarke and many posters think he is or will be . They have worked him out already and has no shot and what got me was sitting a lot in the corner where even if got it would not have shot basket anyway.
Posters jump on Hills head but does well and offers some bl---y movement except when he tightens up later on either by confidence or Clake restrictions .
Keep wanting to believe in coach but to lose so many last Qtr games starting to tell me that not up to it. How well did we play in 1st qtr
