Congrats to Petrie on a good career.
Knowing second spot is safe should see Adelaide play bench guys plenty of minutes in this game.
Sixers by 8.

Hopefully we will see an up tempo game from the Sixers and many more three point attempts than usual. Sixers outside game is still unreliable, lacking confidence and we seem to shoot less threes than any other team. A weakness that might find us out against top four teams particularly melbourne.
Our transition and inside game on the other hand is probably the strongest but not always sustainable for four quarters against strong zone defense.

We need to throw up more threes with an offensive rebounding focus.

Lets show Peach plenty enthusiastic respect but no favors on court.

Sixers by 15.

Take away Adelaide's basket cuts in the half-court and they will struggle

Should be up 40 not 20. Plenty no calls again.

sixers look pretty deep when the top scorer doesnt score

Johnson getting fouled a lot but no calls.

Bullets questionable offence appears to have no purpose??

They're a bit like the Adelaide Crows with their wave running in transition. Impressive to watch, but easier to shut down than many teams make it appear

Before worrying about their offence maybe start with their horrible defence!

A little bit of Kevin Rudd in that Tommy Greer laugh

At 3QT Adelaide has 18 offensive rebounds to Brisbane's 15 defensive rebounds...

Just as long as the refs don't leave those fouls in the play offs I guess.

I know he was dealt a harsh blow losing Bairstow for the last 1.5 seasons but this has really been two very poor seasons by Lemanis.

With such a gutless conclusion to their season it wouldn't surprise me if Lemanis gets sacked over this. Perhaps not likely as they would need to eat the last year of his contract and they would be bleeding money already with their poor crowds but it wouldn't surprise me.

Yes he had great success as coach of the Breakers but that success continued with Vickerman.

Hey homicide, shut up.


Peach just fouled out of his last game.. and you're yapping.

They still haven't realised.

My god.

Stupid by Hodgson.

I'm seeing some punkish play creep into our team again late in the season, can't blame it on Randle this time.

I hope a few Sixers get in a brawl and subsequently suspended

Joey is a bit of an enabler with that type of mentality -- the bravado as said by one of the commentators

Why? You worried they can beat your team?

Haha, my team is long gone dude.

I just don't like their smug attitude, they're becoming a bit childish, like the Golden State Warriors

If it means they play better and they're fun to watch I'll take it but if I was an opposition supporter it would definitely shit me.

I agree with Zodiac and Manu, it's just dumb behaviour.

Stop being so cocky, we choked/under performed last finals, this year it's time to get the job done.

Brisbane's tepid performance accurately surmising their season in general.

I don't expect the NBL refs to have a good game anymore. I used to be disappointed by a few calls here and there but now it's just consistently baffling to watch through each and every game.

Brisbane's tepid performance accurately surmising their season in general.

Brisbane need to clean house. Lemanis is failing.

Te Rangi and Gibson aren't NBL players, let alone starters. Kickert is never going to be good. Holt is poor for an import.

Only Trice and Petrie showed any heart.

To be fair to the Bullets, as soon as Bufford left they've been undermanned, and with no Jervis as well they've been very undersized the past couple of games. For the majority of the season they hung with teams but just couldn't get over the hump in the 4th Q, and I don't think they were nearly as bad as their record shows, even with a poorly constructed roster.

The problem is who Andre has had on the court in crunch time. Running Te Rangi effectively means 4 on 5.

How is Te Rangi on the national team? Let alone NZ captain?

I can't believe Te Rangi is still only 23. How old was he when he first suited up for the Breakers, like 13?

Gibson was like that at Adelaide but we justified it as good defence, he's not an nbl standard starter these days

That could have been a 40 point blowout if the Refs didn't turn it in to hackball in the third term.

"How is Te Rangi on the national team? Let alone NZ captain?"

He's a fringe player on their national team, and he was only captain of the development team they sent to the Asia Cup.
