If Sydney want to win this game you have to try get majok to foul up quick leaves united with not many chances to get rebounds which nearly lost us the game on thursday apart from that you are stuffed! MU by 15

I think there are a couple of good interesting match ups this game.

Khazzouh v Majok (I think Khazzouh will win that, but I wouldn't be surprised Majok dominates the boards)

Thornton v Goulding

Harrington v Blanchfield ( Just to see how Harrington plays against a quality SF)

Quality SF in the NBL doesn't even get a gig in the NBA. Al with be fine

FTFY

My initial gut feeling about this one is along similar lines to Dominos-Rex. Could be unpleasant for the Kings.

Thread title made me assume it was in Sydney, but it's actually yet another United home game, so that won't help the Kings' chances either. Hope they find a way to make it a contest. My blowout appetite is satisfied after last night but I've definitely got room left for a nail-biter.

Im thinking a United blow out, yes an actual blowout, BUT whenever that seems like the logical outcome, sports messes that up. So perhaps the Kings play above themselves and Harrington gets going, or Cadee knocks down some 3s... and Julian does what he always does and its tight. Just think logically United have to many weapons. Unless they are too cocky and comfortable at the top not sure how they lose.

United $1.18, Kings $4.90.

United by 11+ is paying less ($2.10) than by 1-10 ($2.50) so the money agrees with you.

But betting doesn't seem to agree with me haha so def take the 1-10 as id be all over 11+ ;)

This is a "danger game" for United for a couple of reasons. I think United will win but I give Sydney a better chance than the bookies.

I also give the Kings a slightly better chance than the bookies.
I think the bookies wouldn't be able to defend the perimeter as effectively as the Kings, and would struggle to maintain the pace in the second half.

Kings have nothing to lose really. No one expects a Kings win, so just go out there and hope your shots are dropping and that Melbourne's aren't.

This is the sort of game that Sydney wins. Think Melbourne will though. Sydney just need to throw the ball into Khazzouh and try and get Majok/Kickert in foul trouble and hope that Melbourne miss. Should come in fearless.

does anyone know why Melbourne would not be the favourites in the Sydney kings game on November 5th? is there any aussie boomer commitments for united players? or any other reason the odds would have Sydney kings favourites to win next week?

any ideas

Nothing I know of. Get yourself a piece of that before the market finds it & corrects it.

att all Melbourne united today are paying $1.19 to Sydney kings $5.10 and on Thursday they have Sydney kings $1.16 Melbourne 5.5.10 any one knoe weather or not it is a glitch or what the go is .. check it out palmer bet iinet nbl games

Where do we find this?

palmerbet.com.au

Looks like an error.

will they honour the bet

will the bet stand if I lay it

Can't see why not. The odds have already drifted to $4.40.

Give it an hour and Melbourne will be favourites.

I rate the Kings right now, if they can come out and hit United hard, not give them an early lead, I think this could be another clinker...

Their motto is "Take us on" after all.
Take them on! ;)
Still showing $4.70 for me for United.

I agree that the Kings are the type of team that could win this. They, like Adelaide, are a team I don't trust to bet for/against because they'll surprise you when written off, and disappoint you just when you start thinking they're favourites.

Hopefully they're in Good Kings mode today since this one is on GO!

Goulding with a little white chocolate flavour there

United are shooting the lights out.

13 point margin is flattering to Sydney

They were better under Heal then what they are now.

Kings maybe worst then the crocs

How many millions is Harrington worth? I missed it the 12 times that Homoside mentioned it!

Kings D has been horrible at times.

Harrington looks out of shape.

If i had a dollar for everytime Kickert travelled, my bank account would look like Al Harrington's.

Williams job is supposed to be talking about tactics and what kind of defensive and offensive sets both teams re playing not ranting and raving like a moron!

Perth last night and United today showed why they are the best of the bunch.

I want to like him. Does that count?
He's got some idiosyncrasies that are making it hard work though.

Stuck working for this game, is it worth watching?

Hard to see Cotter lasting the season at this rate. Kings aren't playing with any passion.

Khazzouh had a shocker today and will bounce back. Harrington will get in game shape and they will remain competitive. But they should be getting much more from this roster.

Whats up with Markovic?

Who could replace Cotter though?

Fast starts and high clips from the arc isn't always going to happen, I think we will see something very different in Sydney.

Goulding aka Orlando Bloom is something when he is hot, isn't he...?

Corey Williams is the worse commentator, I ended up muting the TV so I didn't have to listen to his pointless ranting and dribbling. He offers nothing. What an embarrassment to the NBL having him represent the game.

I kind of dont mind Homicide, he is an idiot, but he is so out of contact with reality I found myself wondering what the hell was coming next. Better than a Brad Rosen type i figure.

Harrington is just a very large man, dont think he is so much overweight as he is just his body type. His next game after he has properly got into the groove will be the key. Surely the Kings will be able to find away to utilise both him and Khazzouh. Hard to gauge them too much against a team as explosive and hungry as United. Those boys are sharing the ball, thats the scary part.

Sydney have an ordinary team. Changing the coach isn't going to make them playoff contenders.

Yeah the "travel" calls were audible in the stadium from my seats on the opposite side of the court, 15+ rows back. Cotter needs to Shut the hell up and focus on teaching his players what to do in order to win ballgames.

A healthy Markovic would've helped that team today, but based on his numbers he's done nothing all season.

Yeah good point anon. Lisch was available before they signed Thornton.

I enjoy Homocide in commentary, it's different but I like the mix with Dwayne Russell. Dont think it would work with any of the other play-by-play guys who rely on the special comments guys a bit more though.

And thanks to the people who said Harrington isn't overweight, best laugh I've had in a long long time!

"I also give the Kings a slightly better chance than the bookies.

Luuuc wins!

I don't think I'd mind Homicide coming in for a quarter or two as the third guy, but as the sole colour guy for the entire game...no. Just no.

Particularly if he's replacing Greer, who's one of the better colour guys they have.

Also not sure about how much they're using Dwayne Russell. He's not even the best Russell in the commentary group, for mine.

Haha Luuuuc for the win.

Kings were indeed insipid. Disappointingly so. Not to take anything away from how well United played but.... Yeah.
