Abercrombie > Creek every day of the week. Creek is getting better for sure but wipe your eyes please.

They already did hit back hard 2 days later after crossing the country and showing some backbone. Im thinking this one will be a continuation of good things to come. After Breakers efforts in the Gong Fri, expecting a 36ers by 11+

Sixers comfortably get this one. Great bounce back against melb and NZ a shell of their former selves. I would still take Abercrombie over Creek but that gap is closing fast

Creek over Abercrombie?

Nope nope nope.

NZ were completely thrown out of their rhythm on Friday by the Hawks. Adelaide are a different style of game, and the Breakers season is on the line now.

It will take a big effort from the 36ers to get this one, a lot of NZ's better players spent a lot of time sitting with foul trouble so theyll be ready to roll in this one.

Paul, I think itll be much the same. 36ers too quick and will draw same players into foul trouble and put them on the back foot. Sometimes when a team has 'alot to play for' its becuase they have been bad all season, nothing tells me against solid opposition, not Cairns, they will be ordinary once more. 6ers got their scare and will be trying to make as many statements between now and the playoffs as possible.

This one is OFFICIALLY match point for the Breakers, gonna be almost impossible at 9-14....

No names and numbers on heritage shirts, disappointing

Creek at 4 playing small ball, not really working

FFS Sixers....NZB are shooting 36% FG.

How are they still ahead?*

* The above question is rhetorical, the answer is rebounds.

Lets be fair guys.

Abercrombie is a considerable way ahead of Creek at this time.

Creek has potential to be better for sure.

But right now, Abercrombie comfortably better.

With all due respect to Sixers fans (and you guys are one of the most loyal and knowledgeable fan base), do you guys think you overrate Creek a little bit?

He is a player with a bright future no doubt, but the gap is not closing fast!

Thought Creeks comments pre-game was a bit unprofessional. Creek has a habit of saying some pretty outlandish things:


'All he's worried about right now is keeping Abercrombie quiet, and he’s got a few ideas.

"If he hasn’t shot the ball yet, make him shoot it. If he misses it, talk to him about it and remind him he missed it. Tell him he’s playing a s*** game so far, get in his head, play physical," Creek said.'

Creek v Blanchfield would be a fairer comparison

I like that Mitch is confident and speaks his mind - he is not happy crawling he wants to walk! He is definitely improving and in time he will be able to back those words up more often.

The NBL needs more guys like him talking up the game and giving fans something to talk about.

Very entertaining game, great cameo from CJ at the end, and some real class from Gibson, Johnson, Abercrombie and Webster throughout.

Can we get rid of the three guard lineups please.

NZ's biggest problem has been getting results out of close games. Corey Webster and those missed free throws, could have set the game up for pay-back for that buzzer-beater loss at Vector.

cj is still so clutch, far out

How good was his last play where he looked like he was going to shoot and then found Abercrombie open on the money for the potential game winner? Classic PG play.

Why Webster had the ball in his hands is beyond me, never been a fan of his...kerron johnson- thanks for coming but you're not who/what we need....dean vickerman should have a fucken press break by now and the same issue from last month- transition defense, too many easy buckets for the 6ers.

Despite this being a better effort, the win was needed and whilst it's still mathematically possible, this season has been a failure!

Abercrombie on so many occasions had Ervin defending him and NOT once made an effort to seal him at the rim. He spent most of the game just standing in the dead corner. Same on Friday against the Hawks. Vickerman needs to run some stuff for him on the miss matches and also get him moving more in the offense.

Great game and great long range bomb at the end for CJ to keep spectators on their toes.

Breakers did very well. 3 guys fouled out, one guy with rolled ankle. Still can make finals but need to make 5/5!

Great to see the olde skool cheerleaders too. They were still looking good.

Ervin zero assists. Says a lot really!

"11 assists by Gibbo in a 40 minute NBL game is a great effort. Probably the equivalent of 15+ in the NBA."
It's the equivalent of 13. You probably need to adjust it back down for pace, so it's likely the equivalent of about 11.

I cannot get over how shit the D Trans was today.

Great game ,nice shots by cj in the corner and downtown,lucky the ambercrombie shot didnt drop.Good days worth of value not only seeing Sixers win another tight game,plus see the 98 team and the all star players another good game plus good to see some of the. Old cheerleaders out there,great to see Tina and Emma cheerleading again they still look awesome .

A little bit of improvement in Teys and Carters games, perhaps not quite Frye just yet. Schenscher could be handy. Missed freethrows gave NZ a chance. A big pushoff by Bruton, foul on DJ seemed weird.

Underestimating Fryes long arms and amazing jump pushing the ball out or bringing it down. Not saying Teys and Carter didn't perform but just missed his defensive presence. I couldn't care less about his fouls, it at least meant he took it to the basket and the Sixers site has at least 6 shots of him taking to the hoop successfully......

Breakers are still tough. I actually kind of feel sorry for Vickerman in a way.
