There is zero chance Humphries will be there next year, if Wells still is.

The look on his face while sitting out the bulk of the second half, combined with his recent comments, he’s done.

Humphries has also been on the sooks since overlooked for the Boomers.

He's his own worst enemy, they recalled him for the most recent FIBA qualifiers but he knocked it back, a "if they didn't want me earlier then stuff them" attitude.

 

[skam85]

Ulgun is usually reliable

Humphries is legit - does not get the ball. that is on the coach.

Would have him at the JJs

for a big guy he's pretty terrible at boards. That's one thing that isn't on Wells

Also the 'blow up' was leaked by Hawks players/staff

He was in foul trouble and Martin was playing quite well to be fair this past game. Agree with your sentiment though.

Report on another forum is that Wells had a crack to IH about his post game radio comments after the Sydney game a few weeks ago? Surely not?

 

[brucetiki]

Looks like Wells is going to be sacked.

Surely those that appointed him go with him.

 

[El Doederino]

Seems Kendrick has deleted this tweet. Wish I’d saved it. Was just calling out that ESPN basketball reporter for being a clickbait merchant.

Edit: thankfully someone else saved it

 

[El Doederino]

One of the assistants was having a go at Davis at the final whistle for nearly giving away a foul at the end and letting his player get away from him for a free shot.

Reports Davis was standing up to Wells who was having a crack at Humphries.

So the story this morning was the assistant was having a crack at Davis because he DIDNT foul

But that’s a dangerous game because very easy for the player to see the foul coming and start a shooting action to get 3 from the line

 

[ManOfClay]

That assistant in question from my observation is very disruptive.

The head of "high performance" is the biggest issue of the backroom staff

 

[Nelso]

The 36ers owner today said that Wells is safe for next season.

I guess this will be the last season we see of KD as a 36er.

Absloute amateur hour.

‘Full support of the board’

 

[ManOfClay]

Sixers starting well. Not sure in last this whole game so I might miss our late capitulation

 

[El Doederino]

I’ve never seen a player miss so many shots from directly under the basket than Isaac Humphries.

 

[Royces Hart]

I’ll preface this by saying I have no issues with female commentators, Bec Allen has been fantastic.

But Anneli Maley is unbearable. Her only elite commentary skill is making everything about herself.

Takes some getting used to but i don't mind her now

To be fair when on he's close to the NBL version

Far out the 6ers have some weapons. Almost criminal that list will likely miss playoffs

Great win by the Cats. Bryce fairly quiet and Windler out very early

problem is he hasn't been on since KD turned up

 

[Wce17]

Happy to just get the win. Had that game pencilled in as a danger game for the Cats.

36ers have weapons & I thought they could trouble us. Davis is a gun.

Thought Peppers 11 points in the first half after Windler went off injured was pretty important. Big reason why we had the 11 point halftime lead.

For a guy who basically got zero minutes last year Okwera is holding his own. Playing some important minutes.

Doolittle is very very good.

 

[amazingjoshy]

Doolittle is very very good.

Cotton-Windler-Doolittle(with Withers as injury replacement)

Cotton obviously a given but credit to Mills and Rillie, absolutely nailed our import spots

If Cotton does go, need to do everything they can to hang onto Pepper. Flat out scorer when he's given the chance

Signing Withers as an injury replacement is looking like a very smart move.

Any team that loses an import now can’t replace them for finals as they won’t play enough games to qualify. SEM just lost there star import & can’t replace him.

We have managed to get enough games into Withers that if we do pick up an import injury he can step back in for finals. He’s also been contributing well when he’s been needed.

People where questioning the move at the start of the year but maybe not so much now.

I was saying to the misso that if Cotton did go I’d be contacting Davies management & seeing how interested he would be.

That commentary team was honestly a disgrace, very amateur from the league who wants to be taken seriously

Imagine calling a Montrezl Harrell Jarell Martin. The most high profile player in the comp.

 

[ManOfClay]

Scumbag Ili with another unsportsmanlike foul

 

[eddiesmith]

Seems ever since Tatums all time tantrum the refs have been too scared to call anything against the Hawks.

 

[The_Game_1981]

Gawd damn could the commentary team polish Floppy43s knob any harder? The Smelbourne bias was sickening. Thank you Illawarra!
