sorry- i was referring to the article on the nbl site- http://www.nbl.com.au/news/article/2010/november/crocs-too-good-for-kings/

glad you agree anon!!! total crap!!!

Good start by Wagner. Horrible start by Kendall.

Sydney's prospects were always flattered a bit by that opening game against a woeful Melbourne.

anonymous- your comments are spot on the money!!! i did like janev, grizzard and ben knight when they were at the slingers- but tonight i think they showed why no one else would recruit them.

blalock led the game in scoring with 13?

Slingers Gordie, Kings Robilliard. Might tell you something

Anon, what fond memories do the people of Adelaide have of Grizzard? He is a nothing player that looks like he could do some damage yet never does anything. He is getting 8ppg on a bad kings team in which he should be showing leadership and having a go. I heard someone say that Taj looks like an overweight Mike chappell and I somewhat agree. The kings are a team that actually needs the imports to bring the crowd in and at this stage (BORING)!!!!!!!

Agree with a lot of what's been said above - what made anyone think this Sydney team would be remotely competitive based on the roster they've assembled and a head coach who hasn't coached anything more than an under 14 team before?

I mean, outside of Khazzouh, Luke Martin and Luke Cooper, what players on the Sydney roster would step right into another team's lineup?

Graeme Dann is a headcase who can't shoot the ball to save his life. Blagoj Janev is a big guy with no heart who prefers to shoot from the outside (which he doesn't do very well anyway) rather than use his size in the paint, plus he couldn't defend a chair. Both imports are absolute and unequivical garbage. McCullough might be one of the worst imports ever to put on a Sydney uniform - and that's saying something - and Grizzard is a peaheart with talent who has been mailing it in most of his life. Damien Ryan can shoot but he's painfully slow and can't beat anyone off the dribble, Jared Scoines failed at West Sydney, Ben Madgen has been struggling and didn't even make last night's roster and Ben Knight is finished as an NBL player.

This is a pathetic roster done entirely on the cheap. They had 5500 last night - there will be less than 3000 the next game against New Zealand. Sydney fans will not put up with the kind of excrement that was served up last night - and the worry is that without a team to get excited about, poor crowds and no sponsors, the new ownership will pull the pin sooner rather than later.

Thats the sadly ironic thing, the Kings are planning to survive this year first and foremost and because of that they are rubbish to watch and it may send em broke.

They've only put together a budget team to try and build something stable. Hopefully fans recognise that and try to support them while they become established.

need a chris williams type back in the fold!! bring back chris williams and another dominant point guard- homicide could fit the bill!!!

A lot of kiwis living in Sydney, it might appear more like a Breakers home game than kings.

Some fans support their team through thick and thin, including rebuilding years. Wollongong are a budget operation again and fans would've respected their efforts even if they hadn't had success the last year or so. Gruber has been a budget import for years. They got luckier with Ervin than the Kings did with McCullough, and have McLeod - so be it.

If you don't want to watch the Kings, no one's making you. I don't find them particularly interesting this year, but it seems like a decent number of fans have still got out there to appreciate whatever NBL basketball they can get in Sydney.

When the Kings spent up, they went under and the local fans had nothing to support.

i think both teams had more turnovers than points at one stage :) - we won that's why i am smiling
