A bridge too far unfortunately, hopefully will be competitive anyway

Tassie have out hustled 36ers defensively each time before so since our D is much better now, I'm keen to see if we match their intensity.

Will also be a good guide how our offence holds up against their pressure. Want to see if we keep structure and don't go back to iso hero ball when pressure is on.

I'm quietly hopeful we hold up on both ends, which would be a big step forward again and the coaches would deserve a lot of credit.

I want Adelaide to win so bad.

Nice to see Magnay fit after that cheap shot.

Galloway got be better defensively on McVeigh than he has so far

Not a good start for Sixers, hopefully they can limit the damage, lot pressure on Sixers, lose and you are gone.

Get that prick off! Every time MacCarran comes on, we go further behind. He is such a waste of space. On Friday night in nearly 11 minutes on court he contributed one turn over and one foul. No shots, rebounds or assists. Why bother with him?

Agree, Mccaron going through the motions, JJs ramping up ready for finals.

Sixers need a defensive leader, someone who can guard bigs and guards.

Would be good if Tajere could give Lowery a sharp elbow and send him out of commentary for a few weeks. Dude is too much.

Now that was a fair bump on Magnay, he clearly hurt. Nice little fight back from Sixers to get it back to 12.

Game changed with Jj's up 18-16. Kell had just hit a 3 and then with a 2 on 1 transition, rather than take an easy layup Kell splits out to the wing for the harder 3pt shot, rebound to jj’s who make a 3 at other end and go on a 18-7 run.

JJs just exploiting Humphries in the pick and roll. If Scotty really wants to lock himself in as coach he has to come up with a better way to defend that.

It's a slaughter on the boards.

It's a shame at present, JJs on fire , home court advantage, as I said got get some one play and organise the D.

What a shame we put in this performance. Really had a good thing going there, even if we went down it closer fashion it would be better.

JJs have shot the ball very well today, 61% hard to win games against that shooting percentage. As previously mentioned, got good bones of team but got gaps.

The real Adelaide dirty tricksters came to play tonight. Not much heart when you consider they still had a faint chance of finals.

Back to reality.

Went to shit as soon as McCarran came on. Aside from being a waste of space, he looks disinterested and isn't contributing anything. Leave him on the bench...…..not like he suddenly going to do something. I don’t recall a single game in his three years at the club, where he’s actually had a real positive Captain’s game.

Average stats across the three seasons reads like a horror story. Most of his tenure he was the starting point guard averaging 30 minutes a game for 3 rebounds, 5 points and less than 2 assists per game. Definitely a marquee point guard.

Adelaide were eventually going to come back down to earth. Everything that goes up has to come back down again. Would have been nice to come from no where to qualify, but not to be. Tasmania is a tough assignment.

I just sat down to watch the replay of this game and I lasted 3 minutes . Adelaide were in the bonus after only 3 minutes of game time . Of the 5 fouls called only one ondrimic was a foul . Putrid soft reffing which has me switching off and over to the nba replay
