Very successful. No question. Championship calibre team. Regardless of how much home cooking United gets on Saturday the 36ers and their fans should take a lot of pride in what the team has achieved.

Quick get the home cooking defence out their early

Sixers $2.6 the Win. United $1.5

Definitely successful, and if the majority of the squad stays together it's probably the first of many.

Agree with most of the comments on this post.

While Joey has his flaws he has clearly done good things for the club and the Sixers are clearly contenders year in and year out. For those hating think back to the Marty Clarke era. While he is the club I would be surprised if the Sixers are not competitive. His behaviour on the sideline does however need to improve.

Regardless of what happens tomorrow the season has been extremely successful and the main reason for that is the core group imo. Hopefully the core of the group can stay - which could be a challenge given free agency this year - which will be tough to turn to regardless of the outcome tomorrow. Sign up to be a member ASAP after the season as it means the club can offer more money!

If the core group does go hopefully it is on to bigger and better things - examples Creek, Sobey, Johnson and the imports at a top euro club, Drmic, Deng and Hodgson full time starters in the league.

It would also give the club a sense of pride to see some of the players at the Summer League next season.

I just hope win or lose we don't see trolls with conspiracy theories and bagging referees for the sake of it.

Can't wait for the game tomorrow.

Not sure how that is even a question?
If they lose, it will be tough to swallow, but nevertheless its still a great result.
Melbourne have been trying to buy a ring for years, and have only just made it. Sydney has tried for two seasons and failed miserably.
Joey may be an embarrassing douche but he knows how to build a team.

But here's a question: Would they have been as successful with Randle??
Clearly the new ownership has brought in some extra coin, and that s a good thing allowing them to compete with the likes of Perth, Melb, NZ, etc. But how much would Randle have cost them, and could they have afforded the depth they otherwise acquired?

Manu not at all. Just showing some credit where its due. Lost an MVP, didn't over spend, especially compared to United, and here we are on the verge of winning it all.

Adelaide are going to go over there and smash United, have got better as the series as gone on.

You talk like Childress was free. He wasn't. Far from it. He came part of the way through the season, which saved some coin, but per game he was comparable to Randle at Sydney. I would have LOVED to see Randle in this series, and who knows, if we had him along with Moore maybe the series would have been different. We will never know. Won the minor championship and didn't get out of the first round, then finish second, made the Finals and pushed it to five. It is a small success, but not successful. We have hope, and we have to make the minor changes to take that last step next year.

Randle tore team apart, Childress brought them together.

Moore bought the team together, not Childress. He and Creek are our most valuable assets. Get rid of Sobey and try to bring in McCarron. Also sever ties with Joey, regardless of the cost. Drmic was solid tonight, especially in the first half.

Nope, two seasons in a row wasted.

Sixers had the most potential and youth is what I meant. Had more to waste.

Without flopping and constant free throw help the Sixers are fourth at best. First round exit. Borderline playoff team

So genius, get rid of Joey, who do you plan to come in. The suggestions for cairns are laughable.
