Humphries, Humphries and Humphries.

The Kings don't have anyone that can guard him so just let him go to work. Hopefully this time the Sixers handle the Kings presses a bit better.

Sixers by 9

Kings by a ransom

I wish the commentary team told me how old Giddey is...

What is on pinders head?

Anybody know what's up with D Slone?

Ummm. Is Pinder wearing a wig?

What is on pinders head?

Never underestimate his ability to F things up

Sixerz will rally... don't become doubters... DJ Giddey - let's not muddy the waters.... like see Mud into rotation- forget Pinder...McVay maybe Teys to provide a little speak for DJ Giddey explosion....
Kings are chockers--

At 1 and 3 Sydney would be keen to finish their road journey on a high, and the way Dejan Vasiljevic was throwing around that nut the last game I bet whatever ice Dexter has left over they have had Dejan's hands on that ice for fear of him injuring them. Andrew Bogut spending the week following him around opening doors for him and other personal tasks. Coles and Woolies have reported shortages of cotton wool and bubble wrap. No vegetarian curries for Sydney during the week.

One thing I noticed in the NBL this season, - the sillier their hair, the worse they play.

Sixers with some composure - kings will falter.. sixerz depth important and much deeper...

Taking the piss.

Adelaide looking very average

Pinder is auctioning for next uncle drew movie

14 to 4.. No I had Sixers with the run... where did i go wrong...

Very worrying signs for the Sixers if they can't beat a severely depleted Kings side. Plus nearly 20 points down to boot.

Gutted.. how has this happened... now Sloan out... is experience the calming factor... leadership ... bonus onya Mudjonja - take ever opportunity.... never saw this coming.. maybe after first game Of season but huge step followed.. hope glitch not pattern...

You shouldn't be shocked - the two overtime wins provided against weak opponents created a lot of false hope on here and padded the wins column. 20+ loss at home against a poor injury riddled team, oh my, away games are going to be ugly.

19 point loss my apologies.

Lol lucky none of y'all professional critics work for Sportsbet. Nice win for the Kings.

Wtf was wrong with Humphries- why did we go away from one of our key important strength ... good things happen when big man has the ball...
Ware gets hot against .....

Struggling to see how kings improved so much.... if you seen both Kings gave me what was different this time?? Attitude over confidence game plan intensity young group so inconsistency but not against kings who lack heart ... team balance is definitely much better than last year... feel defence vastly up but at cost of O.??? DJ carries on shoulder - got to use IH more ... Dech proving he worth picking up... want another option - all that's missing - cotton type just to balance ... remodelling to build structure - bit of pain

Coach says team wasn't ready... whose fault is that ?? Players not involved. Sit there arses... get energy on court...

Why was Sloan out tonight? I missed anything said on the broadcast and nothing on the NBL site.

Sloan should be given the boot. Injured tonight but useless on defence.
Crocker- ok Defensively but was missing most of the game....
Isaac an off night.
DJ usual self
Mudronja- made most of minutes...
Jack- hits two threes then not seen for ages

Credit Kings. Ware hit his 3s and their import big was great.

Sixers are wasting their season with Giddey with Sloan and Crocker. But I know they won't make a change so I guess it is what it is.

Disappointing game. Thought Adelaide could have looked to Humphries more on the block, with the wings spreading. He seemed frustrated by the end. I guess that's where an experienced point would have helped. Pinder looked ridiculous, maybe I’m old fashioned but keep a low profile if you’re struggling for minutes. Crocker needed to do more with Sloan out, just doesn’t seem to take the game on enough.

I guess we now know how important Sloane is...

Jack think you so right... Sloan.provides that stability. Experience counts and tonight showed that talent needs to balanced supported with experience. Glad teys got little minutes though - better served going to McVeigh and Mcdonga.. pinder as useful as tinder for garden gnomes...gonner Henry earning his pay...

Dwayne Russell saying "there's no cricket on tonight" during the Big Bash League Grand Final was pathetic.

Thrashed by a team with 3 good players out certainly huge worry for 36 ers and with Giddey
and Humphries caught up in all the eastern media hype last night, there so little else in team apart from DJ and even Dech had off night.
Pinder as a NBL player is a embarrassment so the hair just highlights even more how bad he is.
Crocker as NBL player let alone a import is a crock of.
Insulting to all those 7k supporters coming to games and all 36 ers fans if they dont send both imports home ASAP, as you cant compete in current NBL with poor imports and 2-3 players carrying team.

What is the 36ers court so poorly lit? Is it just me?

Sydney did a great job in their execution. They adjusted their D on Humphries with the screens by switching and not allowing him to roll. As Sixers have no 3pt shooters like Casper the Kings never had to worry about Giddey or Dech hitting them and can sag off. Sixers never adjusted and Humphries couldn't get comfortable and just got frustrated. Well done to the Kings. At the other end of the court the Kings set up their screens Dejan and Casper would adjust and setup the 3 or drive. Casper licks his lips whenever the guard switches and he gets DJ guarding him.
Martin played a great game, hit some big jumpers, a couple of 3's and was a presence on defence.
McVeigh got completely outplayed by Newley who is nearing 40. Looked slow and wonky like a baby giraffe just born.
Great effort by Mudronja off the bench to seize an opportunity.
Can't have Crocker playing like that when your other import is out. He turned down everything and doesn't get rebounds or assists.

It's not, it’s staples centre/TSA style Iighting.

There is an element that it’s hard to beat a team twice in a row. Generally adjustments are made, and a team has more competitive fire when they lost last time.

36ers when they play well look good under Henry. But they do faulted. Lastnight their ball movement didn’t get them good looks and their passes into the big men got cut off and the big men were double effectively.

This is where you need sniper three point shooter and a slashing type player to keep defenders honest - the two aspects we would have loved out of our imports. Giddey has a bit of slasher in him, but the team needs to push it more aggressively when the defence is choking regardless of ball movement.

It was also just one of those games that the Sixers maybe were never going to win. The ball is going out of court, kings player reaches it and throws it back into the court where it just passes by the outstretched hand of Humphries and lands perfectly in Kings hands for an open 3pt attempt.
Kings player drives, ball gets knocked out of his hands, bobbles out and could go anywhere, somehow lands back into kings hands for an easy bucket.

Come on, one or two plays like that don't account for a near twenty point loss.

No but sometimes it's just one of those nights where the ball doesn't drop and little things don't go your way. Sixers only shot 37% from the field and turned it over too much. You only have to be off by a sniff in this league to drop a game and get blown out just like SEM and the Hawks.
When little things go your way it builds your confidence and next thing you know Casper has knocked down triples he's been missing for weeks.
