36ers vs Kings Sat 21st October

Live 5pm this evening on SBS Viceland, Fox Sports and NBL TV.

Adelaide 2-2 and Sydney 1-3 both teams coming in off the back of floggings will be interesting to see how it goes. The Kings looked really bad in that loss to NZ so you would think the Sixers at home.

Sobey needs to pull his finger out and step up and sounds like Shorter will be playing. Newley back home will be keen for a big one.

Any news on a replacement for Wiggins?

Jayson Wells, I believe, if he's not too expensive for Adelaide's new owner.

To be fair a 50 yo Jayson Wells probably would be.

I'm thinking more a Paris McCurdy type.

I'm looking forward to Cadee and Thoseby being on the court together again, what a great defensive unit.

Sixers by double digits as Sobey "finds his form" by relentlessly driving straight down the middle of the key for easy baskets.

Yes anon, especially when Humphries is on the other side of the on-ball (or as is often the case, the same side leaving a highway to the hoop!).

Sixers by double digits, but since that wasn't paying as much as usual, I've got them at -18.5 as well... Might as well cash in on the Kings in some way :(

I wish Gaze responded to Homicide by asking what it would take to get him out of the country.

Awesome job Cadee, missing 3s on one end and giving them up on the other.

Humphries looking more like Vandenburg every time. If the rumoured 200g he's on not bad for a bench player.

Leaking 38 points in a 10 minute quarter is terrible, unfortunately for my sake as a kings fan this is going to get ugly real quick...

Cadee should be a 10 Mum a game player. He can't defend anyone and only scores when game is over.

"Horrendous car accident" also describes Cadee's defense.

The constant 'the coach didn't make that mistake, you need good players to be a good coach' is getting irritating too.

Also Homicide pretending to have inside sources and leak the Childress news midway through the second, almost an hour after it was officially announced.

And the Kings have good players, just not at the 1 or 5. Still, I don't think it's too controversial to say that there's 7 other coaches in the NBL who could coach these guys to better than a 1-4 record.

If Gaze gets on the post game interview and says my guys didn't give my schemes a go again he is signing his own termination letter. No coach can stay if he has lost the confidence of the playing group.

Yeah the way he thought he had the inside scoop made me laugh lol.

In his defence, he said it was coming from a reliable source, a stadium announcement seems pretty reliable

Maybe Gaze should try another bit of coaching wizardry and come out with a 3-2 zone!

I thought Travis Leslie was athletic. He's doing nothing to suggest he could even dunk a basketball. I thought the whole reason he made the NBA was because he was fast running the wings and a tough slasher. What has happened to him? He's only 27 years old

Leslie is probably quick in a straight line, but he's definitely not explosive. I expected someone who could finish like Conger, but he's more of a spot up shooter.

Its clear Gaze has lost the respect from his players which homicide pointed out during his commentary and.. that's a true sign most teams sack their coach.

But yet neither Homicide or Tommy Greer call for a change in the coaching staff.

I wonder why?

Why take so long to get Singh on, he played well in NZ two days ago and goes better than humphries. Homicide saying sack em all. Keep Ellis get rid Kendal and Leslie. Get a point guard and a 5 man. Cadee to 10th man .

The Homicide stuff is working because all the commentary team are in on it, both on air and on twitter. Making for some interesting stuff for them to discuss while the Kings are being blown out by 900 points.

I'm not even sure it's not listening (although it might be now), it seems more that they just don't get what he's trying to get them to do defensively.

The confused looks after they get torched on yet another ball screen says it all.

Take a defensive coach like Vickerman out of the frame and things have gotten ugly, and without Lisch out there papering over the cracks it's fallen to pieces.

watching and listening to Gaze at the after game press conference sounds like he's talking to a group of people at a corporate function.

I'm astonished that someone of his basketball greatness as a player could be so bad a coach!

I feel sorry for Drewy. But he has to take a lot of the heat.

It's a perfect storm.

The most unstable lineup in the league just lost their rock in Lisch. Playing against stable systems with returning players.

A team that was poorly put together and unbalanced.

And a coach whose message isn't getting thru.

Makes for 2 straight annihilations

I'm glad I didn't watch the game live. Wasn't much to look at with the result quite predictable. Not surprised with how the players performed either after Gaze's putrid post-game in NZ. You reap what you sow.

There were a lot of blame on the players for not listening or not caring, but you'd have to ask how did the players get to that mindset? It happened in just a couple of games after the season opener where they were fresh with anticipation and hope for a successful season? That quickly?

More likely, they would've realized they're up a shite creek without a paddle, woefully under-prepared by a coaching team that's way overconfident in their own abilities.
