The 2 leading dunkers in the lead to go at it, can't wait

Not confident Adelaide know how to stay in games on the road, so assuming it could be another Melbourne blowout. Sorry to be a downer and hope I am wrong.

White out is big. Huge chance for Adelaide to grab a massive road scalp.

Goulding in hot form, you can't play better D on that last shot and still goes in. United looking good.

Sometimes Melbourne games, particularly at John Cain are unwatchable depending on who is officiating and who is commentating.

Adelaide need to improve their D quick. Bringing Dech on is a good start I think

Can't exactly challenge when you don't have a time out to use.

Game over at half-time. We're so crap we should be flogging this United team without Jack White.

Bowen been very good in Whites absence, Sixers just don't play D good enough, Harrell being the main culprit. Davis is a very good player, Goulding is just remarkable. United got this.

If Adelaide manage to win from here, then credit to them and this post was too early, but I am just getting fed up with the same frustrating narrative, especially when playing Melbourne; wide open 3s, easy floaters, lack of concentration. When they do execute a good defensive stop, they'll give up a board and it won't matter. They start games too lazily and complacently. If they can't lift their defensive effort, attention to detail, and composure on the road, then don't bother qualifying for the playoffs. I have just found this game too predictable as I thought it might be.

To be honest zodiac the sixers issues look pretty simple... shot selection and defence. Defence is a bit harder to fix within the same roster but I'm amazed wells hasn't got them playing smarter and to their strengths. They don't go back to their screen and roll when they need to grasp momentum. But when they do they're scoring and/or drawing fouls

KD is so good to watch and controls the game incredibly well for his age

Hopefully we can keep him in the league

Bowen beating two former nba players, certainly between the ears. Sixers just don't have enough quality defenders.

Is there a reason Humphries is getting so little minutes? I think he's fully fit so is it just wells not wanting him on the floor?

Melbourne's just too good. Shame they’re such an unlikeable team.

Also, why was there no Hawks-Kings thread? I would’ve thought that was the game of the round. Is there some kind of anti-NSW bias on this site?

I can't wait for this BS Montrezl Harrell season to be over and done with. I didn't like the guy from the start, thinks he's way better than he actually is. Poor defensively and mediocre offensively he's got no lift.

We're getting our ass handed to us by a disciplined team even with their best player out and Harrell wants to go the knuckle. Piss the clown off already.

That's a crap offensive foul call on Harrell, Loe clearly pulled him down which should be unsportsmanlike as a can cause injury. Harrell and Ili were rightly ejected though. Still, get the first call right and it doesn’t happen. Aylen still as incompetent as ever, refs has been an absolute disgrace this game. NBL should be ashamed.

Trez better pull his head in. Could be seeing him ejected from every game if he responds to the slightest bit of physical like that

Harrell is nothing but an arrogant sook.

They won't be playing Melbourne every game. United are the most hateful team in the league by far, because they’re dirty and unsportsmanlike. They deliberately niggle and annoy. Their fans aren’t much better. It’s not a surprise Harrell lost it.

Agree Unckle Phil. Loe should have been the foul on. Harrell on offence is fine, defensively not great, very passionate and will get the league good coverage. Better than the Tyson fight re entertainment. Who was the fool that push DJV from the celebrity seat behind the bench, covered his head on way out, should be banned. A nice finish by the coaches at the end of it. It's an emotional game, fantastic.

How is this game still going? Started at 2:30 right?

Interesting commentary.....bit biased.


I am on the Harris wagon is a passionate player who backs it up - reckon he is good for the league.


MU are blessed to have Cameron developing as the season goes on. He is a gun.

Don't mention Hodge geez.

No comment on Goulding whinging on a very obvious foul??

Don't make excuses for him. He spent years playing in the NBA, this isn't his first rodeo. He's a knucklehead plain and simple. He tries to bully everyone and expects them to back off him but United don't roll over.

I knew last time we played United jack White would be the one guy to stand up to him and not back down, he outplayed Harrell and they beat us by 30. At our best we're okay but can't hang with the best teams like United and Breakers. Harrell knows that too hence going the tuff guy route after we're already down big.

Sixers have actually done a good job to stay in it despite being hosed by the refs and a few things not going their way. it's a make or miss game, missed free throws, those Goulding 3’s at the end of the first and second, Dech and Marshall’s open 3’s just rimming out when they were on a run. Still need a massive improvement defensive.

Flynn Cameron was really the game breaker, was very impressive. Sixers seem to be a great team for players to have breakout games against them.

When does Goulding not whinge? He's the biggest primadonna in the league. Unbearably annoying.

How do you even get a tech foul there? Bloody whinger.

The 36ers ahould be absolutely ashamed. Lost to this team by 27 last time, now without their best player Jack White we had to stand up and win this game comfortably yet we got absolutely flogged by 20. Utterly embarrassing.

If Weston had any dignity he would cut Harrell and fire himself. It's nothing more than a Harrell showcase season, a clown show like Craig Randall all over again. Someone needs to stand up and put an end to this BS.

There'll be some fines and headlines from that one

Zodiac needs to chill out. Harrell is a beast. Adelaide would be nowhere this season without him.

Wow quick to change tune about Harrell. Thought was the God send sixers needed. I think take chill.pill as he a bums on seat acquisition this leagues needs...

That's all that matters, the NBL like Randall before have helped to create this situation by making Harrell the face of the league. These guys were both knuckleheads if you hitch your wagon to a knucklehead it's going to end badly.

Each to their own but Harrell will have media outlets worldwide watching, money hopefully following.
The game overall was very enjoyable, Sixers are competitive and should play finals, if some how they could play decent D they could cause trouble but other than Dech it's very thin pickings, though Davis is very reasonable as well. United just go about there business and to think Vickerman was at the kings and they let him leave.

How is this game still going? Started at 2:30 right?

I'm just sick of the Sixers handing the keys to a knucklehead. After the 8-7 finish last season with DJ and Humphries re-signing we had a chance to build something this season. Then we hired that jumped up GM Weston, fires Ninnis brings in a career assistant to coach the team and signs Harrell knowing full well his objective is to try and play his way back into the NBA, at the expense of our season. Craig Randall situation all over again.

The broadcast continued on 10 Bold.

Shout out to Bowen as well, was excellent.

Zodiac, who do you bring in that's available, Martin still not fit enough. The local core is still not solid enough, certainly defensively.

I wouldn't replace Harrell with anyone, addition by subtraction. It will allow Humphries to flourish and get his head back in the game and would also force Martin to step it up instead of taking it easy. Our whole season has been derailed by this Harrell nonsense.

Melbourne U deeeep and the favourite.


Their crowd should be called out - embarrassing stuff getting involved with players is not on.

Flynn Cameron has played some very nice basketball this last month. How long is contracted at Melbourne for?

One more year left on Cameron's 3 year deal.

Clown of the year post goes to Zodiac

"(Harrell) mediocre offensively" Yeah imagine being 3rd in the league in scoring but is apparently mediocre offensively.

"Our whole season has been derailed by this Harrell nonsense." The team is currently 4th and has been winning because of Harrell

"I wouldn't replace Harrell with anyone, addition by subtraction" Replace one of the best players in the league with no one. Yes keep the comedy gold going Zodiac.

It adds to your Kendrick Davis is going to be no good because he played G League comment.

Also that the Sixers should of signed Gak a few years back. A guy that looks like it is his first game of basketball every time he plays.

Also Mangok Mathiang was too good for the NBL.

Keep up the great stuff
