Crocs v Kings Feb 13

While everyone is focussed on the race for the final 4, this game might actually be one or the more interesting games this round.

It's 7 v 8 and both teams should be at full strength. Crocs have been all over the shop like a crazy ex girlfriend who claims you stole her Whitney Houston CD. They have claimed some big scalps this season and shown they are no walkovers. You just don't know which Croc outfit is going to suit up.

The Kings have had their challenges and let's face it, 1 and 12 on the road is far from top 4 performance. Certainly something to look at for next season and work out who shares with whom on the road. The Kings structure has been the issue this season with injuries and players chopping and changing creating all sorts of uncertainty.

I'm actually looking forward to this game. Both will want to finish on a high and have nothing to lose. It should be a very entertaining game. Childress is on fire and I think this might be the game-changer that swings the odds the Kings way.

Book this down as an OT game.

I do hope this isn't the last NBL game for Josh Childress.

Good to see Vandenberg trying to throw everything down around the basket.

That step back 3 by Cadee at around the 1 min mark again shows why we need a steady floor general down the stretch.

Hold up, the refs opted to not decide a game on the buzzer with a foul call?

I think the clock operator took about an extra .4 off after Thornton's foul just before, too.

Well done to both teams. Put on a great show.
Glad the crocs won in the end given they're at home.

Ah well. Entertaining game. If that's the last time we see Childress, and I hope it isn't, it was a good'un.

Game of the season? You clearly know nothing about basketball if that's you benchmark.
It went to OT. A miracle.
So many bad plays from the Kings it was a joke they got there in the 1st place. The Crocs allowed that to happen.
Without any doubt the KIngs this season are an insipid let. No heart, no passion and no idea.
Until the Kings management allow the coach to do his thing they will be cellar dwellers for a few more seasons and fold.

Didn´t see this game. But all I had to read was who is the hot blonde ref and refs taking over down the stretch and I didn´t need to see the name Toni Caldwell hahaha. Don´t forget, it is alllll about Toni.

Duncan you read all that wrong, nothing about refs taking over in the stretch, it was stated that it was good no call. where did you read that it was all about Toni?

@Duncan: Neither of the calls I was referring to in that post were made by Caldwell.

Fine, I bow out graciously lol. Just saw mention of Toni Caldwell and thought I would weigh in. Most who played qbl would agree. But I shouldn't be taking away from what I hear was a ripper game

Crocs & Kings with nothing to play for played with HEART unlike the Sixers who had a playoff spot at stake. Sixers you are a joke and soft as!

How enjoyable was that??!

That is why we need 48 minutes back. LK has done a lot for the league but the final step is to revert back to 48.

With OT 45mins were played and there was so many swings and clutch shots. 48mins increases the chance of these epic finishes and higher scoring which everyone wants to see.

Let's get it done LK!
