Yet another '36ers aren't in the finals so lets make a big deal out of something that should have been put on the original Joey thread'. Nobody who doesn't eat crows gives a sh!t about your underachieving team or their Micromanagement Expert for an ex coach Jo-Jo. In the words of Justin Timberlake, Cry Me A River...

Now Randle trying to play a victim, I think I've heard it all now from these punks. What no mention of his wife throwing food at a Hawks supporting kid or Randle playing hero ball and shooting us out of the playoffs?

Give me a break, Olgun should be ashamed of himself that ain't journalism, anything for clicks.

So literally presenting a transcript of someone's side of the story with no interpretation or bias is taking sides now?

What i don't understand is if there were so many issues then why did the Sixers go and get Randle this year.

Not only that they did it at the last minute

Zodiac on point in this thread

Joey was a disgraceful bully and had to go. End of

Zodiac just isn't blood lusting anyone - it’s sad when pragmatism becomes a rare minority.

Nobody is treating Joey like he’s an angel and I haven’t read a single person who believes it’s a good idea for Joey to be coaching Adelaide next season. I also haven’t read anybody suggest Joey isn’t a clashy personality.

Clearly Joey has cracked it a little and abrasively is just done with the club and the players. The text showed that clearly.

There are some players who are younger who he pushed to become better he gave them opportunities he backed them and they try hard. They’re normally the ones who like him and came out in support of him.

There are some players who he obviously had a fractured relationship with and that doesn’t surprise because those players played like crap most of the season showed little effort and were generally selfish. Their response has been to be offended at the accusation they tanked the team. Yeah but they did by playing like trash. Every Adelaide fan reviewing the game on here week in week out pointed out the exact same issues every bloody time - the only people who don’t realise they played crap are those players. That’s a mindset issue and it’s one they clearly have with the deflection and nonsense they came out with that Joey hurt their reputation.

Come on, their reputation took a hit every week when they frustrated their home crowds by letting players breeze past them and then sooked hard every time the ref called something on them.

Joeys gone and done, but the players who want to play in Adelaide next season and ownership should apologise for this absolutely unprofessional nosedive.

lol if Olgun is a trash journo who are the good ones in Australian basketball? Surprised how many people are supporting Wright here. He started the whole thing by throwing his players under the bus and expecting them not to respond. The whole thing was unnecessary. He could have got head coach work in the near future but that's unlikely to happen now.

This is unreal.get a grip people especially those who so negative about joey or Griff comment. Read some of the crap you guys are writing as experts begroaning their written comments. At least they put their names to.it.
Issue must be dealt with at Admin and sure it will. Trust the process before calling for blood bans banishment. Needs rational calm mature approach.

Olgun and 'balanced' articles don’t exist.

He is not good.

While I don't think that Adelaide tanked through the entire season, in light of what has been made public in the past couple of days I think for the final few games of the season that it is certainly a strong possibility.

With around 3 or 4 games to go, the 36ers were still a chance of making the playoffs. Yet for all intents and purposes they had a big drop in form, basically playing like crap save one or two notable standouts such as DJ. It seemed strange at the time given what they were playing for, but it has been pretty much confirmed now, that the majority just wanted the season over and done with sooner rather than later. Unfortunately as it turned out, sooner meant basically sacrificing any chance of making the playoffs.
