Keep Teys off the court please!

Missing our best player again will likely be too much to overcome. Would love to see Sobey finally have a breakout game but I don't think his head is right this season.

NZ by 12.

I reckon Sixers will come out strong and lead by around half a dozen at quarter time.

Why is Creek rocking up in ripped jeans?

Unprofessional.

Apparently we're not doing shot clock violations anymore.

Because he doesn't have an onion to wear on his belt? Who cares if he's sitting there in his PJ's.

Jeans like that should be heavily reduced as scratch and dent stock/smaller price because some material is missing. I'd say Creek is just a smart shopper.

Pretty sweet call that you wouldn't bank on getting away with too many shot clock violations on the road.

Homicicde is THE NUMBER 1 biggest COCKHEAD in NBL commentary. Don't bother arguing, I'll just keep talking over you because I AM RIGHT

Homicide is crushing it today, getting better and better weekly

The only thing that makes Homicide somewhat passable is when paired with Redhage.

That tech on drmic was the worst call of all time. Sosa stood on his foot. Just pitiful officiating

To be fair live it looked like a massive flop by Drmic and with the Sobey flop earlier it's a tech, it was only on the replay you could see Drmic actually lost balance.

Rubbish. You could tell live he just lost his footing.

Thanks 6ers! :)

Corey was the "kiss of death' for the Breakers. We did well to only lose by 3, after never being in the game.
Childress, Johnson, Sobey too good for us. Deserved win for 36ers.

Spot on we saw after that Drmic do another flop, he has a reputation he's known for it and thus doesn't deserve the benefit of the doubt.

Henare's spitting the dummy in the presser.

Talking to Scott Butler is a waste of time. That's going to close to a fine.

Pretty rich the Breakers always get good home cooking in NZ

Pretty hot on the refs. No fines will result but amazing that they got hammered the poor old refs.

Regardless of the player if you can't tell the difference between a flop and an obvious trip you've got no business officiating professional basketball.

NZ bigs couldn't handle Johnson and Deng. Too quick for them.

such bad refereeing. again.

I agree Snooch. I was courtside and the Sobey "flop" happened right in front of me. He just lost his footing and fell to the ground. He wasn't trying to deceive the refs into calling a charge.

Just because the defender falls over doesn’t automatically mean it’s a flop every time. There are other reasons why the defender isn’t able to keep their feet!

The problem for Drmic and Sobey to a lesser extent is that they have reputations now. So when they hit the floor the refs automatically call a flop rather than actually assessing the play on its merits.

"To be fair live it looked like a massive flop by Drmic and with the Sobey flop earlier it's a tech, it was only on the replay you could see Drmic actually lost balance"


-Dumb comment. You call it how you see it. And you dont make stuff up or guess. It was the WRONG call, regardless of what Drmic reputation is.

If they referee'd the Defense , they wouldn’t be caught out all the time second guessing what happened. Too many call over this eeek alone which has called the effect and not the whole action.

4 of NZ players on the bench fouled out and all you guys bitching about is a flopping call?

Who cares if Creek is wearing jeans.
"Unprofessional" haha

Nobody is whining about 4 players fouling out because all the fouls looked legit.

Hodgeson sat with foul trouble too. All the big fellas were getting fouls against the quicker blokes.

Drimic was no flop, he did trip, so it was just a "no cal"l.
Really worried about Sosa, 2 assists is not his game and he let Sobey, Teys bother him far more than I would have expected given his experience. He seemed to take it personally and kept trying to score on his own.
Hopefully growing pains.
Penney might have to go to "on balls" to get open. His offence and Abercrombie's are vital going forward.

Drimic May have lost his balance but that doesn't mean it is not a flop.

He did so in a contact situation against a player with the ball.

Going on the logic in previous comments it looks like tripping over is flopping right?

"Just when you think Shorter actually losing like a import PG"

Is that you Zodiac? He has been a point guard since day 1. He had 2 turnovers in 32 minutes to go with 4 assist. Hardly a bad game.

Shorter was far better vs NZ than his game in Perth

Couple of errors that all players had just highlighted because of when they occurred. I also get that you don't want your studs messing up in crunch time.

The team organization looked a bit shakey at the death but at least you can work on it at training. When you play so deep and spread the minutes it can mean they all start looking at each other instead of getting it done. Shorter seemed to want to wind the clock down at the end but then the options weren't there when he wanted to get the offence going.

That drive into the key was a decent move. If he hadn't lost a handle on the ball he probably would have drawn a foul.

The umpiring was terrible both ways, as usual. How NZ didn't end up with a flop warning until the last quarter is a mystery. Paul Henare questioning 4 players fouling out is a bit rich with the hands-on way they play. "When does that happen?". You tell me Paul, NZ have had 4 players foul out on 3 occasions in the last couple of years.

Drmic is a huge flopper. He is an arm waving sook - kind of reminds me of an A league player. Can NOT stand him and i am a sixers fan.

"That drive into the key was a decent move. If he hadn't lost a handle on the ball he probably would have drawn a foul."

How can it be a 'decent move' when he lost his handles?

Still this team has not found its identity .

Johnson and Hodgson should not be in the court together is it clogs up our offense and renders our D soft in the Middle . Simply put stagger there minutes. Start Childress at the four .

Would like to see Moore used more and same for Drmic. Especially early on to get them into the game.

I know Sobey is a starter but he can play 28-30 minutes as a 6th man coming on after 4-5 minutes .

Why have 3 creaters starting with 2 lumps that clog the lane . Hodgson is a finisher not a post player .

Our strength is our run yet Joey seems to be struggling to find complimentary combinations .

This team has a chance to find it self but still not sure it will do nothing else but be inconsistent in performance yet consistent in its frustration .
