You are wrong. Confidence is a great source of energy. Sixers to win. DJ and Drimic to rip the breakers.

Will be pleased if I am

Missing the string bikini reference this time.

What was the tech for?

got to agree - terrible refs - make it almost unwatchable - think the refs have a bet on Adelaide ! to be fair - they ref so if you are a big or athletic you have no chance - NBL suits players who shoot the 3 and flop and play no D.

Sixers coaches going with some real "2009 Year 12 Formal" outfits.

Bold moves.

also have to add - why do refs have favourite players and coaches - this is re all teams - some players can go hard on D and others get pinged for the slightest thing - same with coaches - one word from Shamir and it is a Tech - yet last night Gleeson could scream in their face and swear and go for ages and its fine.

ok - getted .... refs - Daniel Johnson elbowed Rob Lowe for seconds .Lowe lets him go and then Lowe gets called for a foul on the shot and he is nowhere near touching him ???
these refs are blatant cheats or totaly inept !!

So many incidental fouls!!!

Thank god we have hung in there and go to second half only 10 down!!

Adelaide managing to be Adelaide and blow a big lead through their own unique combination of poor execution, stupidity and lack f self control.

Breakers fans have nothing to complain about in terms of the refs. They helped you get back into the game in the latter stages of the 2nd half. Froling clearly pushed in the back causing him to move on the screen. Delany then trips Griffin after he throws down the alley.

Would love to know why Griffin was called for the tech too? If it was for trash talking (why is that a T anyway?) the if the ref had called Delany for tripping which is far more worthy of a T then he probably wouldn't have said anything.

Sure self control comes into it in terms of letting stuff go but that's easier said than done and the refs are not blameless here.

A lot of over-reffing, but also a lot of contact on players moving on court off-ball.

Delaney is having an unbelievable defensive game!

Agree, Breakers drives are seeing a lot of contact not get called versus what's happening on the other end. Would be easy to think this was a Sixers home game

Not sure why I find Shamir saying "weeksy" so funny.

Refs have been disgraceful all game, that offensive foul just then did not have to be called on griffin. Terrible calls against both teams, it's as if the refs feel the need to be involved in every play.

Sheesh, Finn about a foot too long on that 3.

It's been a real bad weekend for refereeing

And another rubbish call on griffin. Video Vaughn and his cronies have their hands all over this one.

"Officiating becoming the story in the last minute"

No. In the last 40 min

How does Froling not get a usf!??

Not much contact but neither are there on many other usfs. the intent is the issue?

Damn

It's only sport but I do feel for the Breakers

Injuries have ruined their season, they'd be top 4 if not for injuries

Randle comes up huge for the Sixers. Clutch.....

Should have been a tech on Loe. You can't hang on the ring, and you sure as hell can't hang on the ring to the point that you have your leg hanging over a 7 footer's shoulder.

But who cares, Randle bailed us out

Who was the bold guy who looked devastated that Adelaide won?

Lol, you don't intentionally foul in a tied game with 10 seconds left. I don't care how bad the guy is at free throws, you make the other team make a field goal

The refs were crap at both ends.
Randle made shots when it mattered.

Not sure why I find Shamir saying "weeksy" so funny.

Breakers should never have left the ball in Randall's hands till 5 second mark. Should have doubled and made someone else beat them. You could just see it coming. Randall was eying up his options and knew what he was going to do. Good effort though Breakers,

Impressive clutch play by Randle for the second game this round. Good to see after he has struggled in some late game situations earlier in the season.

However both the Phoenix game and this game were far closer than they should have been for the Sixers. The inability to play consistent defence means the Sixers always let teams back in and has been a major problem so far this season as it was last year where it cost the team a playoff berth.

Surprised there is so much on here about the Froling/Loe tangle, thought it amounted to nothing. Having just seen the replay on the news, it is far more confusing as to why Delaney didn't get a Tech or USF after the griffin alley-oop dunk. He clearly sticks his leg out with the intention of tripping Griffin - a real cheap shot. Having said that, the unsportsmanlike on Ashley when he fouled griffin was a terrible call earlier in the game. Just shows the ineptitude of the refs in this one.

Pretty sure this season I've never seen Ngatai called for a foul he didn’t ridiculously whinge about.
