Anybody else experiencing juddery NBL.tv?

Mine looks fine, but only still in countdown mode.

Get another Jack less game thread.

Kings looking like they might win this

Bogut jumped over Brandt.

I'll need to watch that a few more times.

Doesn't Gleeson know that you can’t question every call.. the refs just won’t listen to anything u say

So i take it this is the game thread now? What a game. Enjoying every moment, kings hitting some very tough guarded shots, can they keep shooting a scorching 60% from the field

You would think the refs wouldn't listen, but who gets all the 50/50 calls in the last quarter when the games close?

Kings need 2 new imports.

Aylen blows his whistle before the contact is even made.

Do the Kings realise there is another quarter left? Throwing up absolute garbage.

Homocide has just said what no one wants to say. Bogut is invisible defensively, and he has been all year expect for the occasions when he has an opponent at the front of the rim.. only then he decides to get a block. His perimeter defense against the step up screens has been lazy all year long

Brandt HOSING Bogut, Dano DOMINATING in D.

Gaze pulling out his hair

I don't need dessert tonight because this is so delicious.

And when will Gaze put the shuffle to bed for good??

Also zoning this current Perth lineup is stupidity.. they don't have any 1 on 1 scorers, so why not man to man?

Vintage Gleeson. Replay shows things played out basically opposite of what he screams at the ref.

Never! The shuffle will never die!

I love seeing Gaze complain about a call. The irony after a 20 year career of getting more BS calls go his way than any other in NBL history.

No 1 on 1 scorers.... cotton maybe? Terrico can run hot too, brandt in the post...

over 170 pts already cashed in thanks for the poor d guys

Where are Randle and Bogut???

Gaze subs Randle in about 3 mins too late.

Cotton MVP, Bogut no where near.

Cotton aint been the MVP of this one, it's been all about rebounding.

Cotton wasn't on the court when I wrote the comment at the end of the third. Of course Cotton can score 1 on 1 but he wa sonnthe bench Einstein

Rubbish call on Kickert there.

Even after missing a few games, Cotton would be MILES ahead in the MVP voting

It's still game by game voting for this season yes

Yeah interesting Gaze benches Bogut late in the 4th.

And offensive rebounding is so obviously the difference in this one..

Yeah, it's a miracle we are even in this with a shot.

This lineup has worked well. Cut the margin, giving them a chance here

Time to bring Bogut in.

Except O boards is their problem

Pick your poison I suppose

Would prefer Mitch to not foul out and bring in Martin tbh, that's a plus for Perth at this stage of the game.

One possession game now

Perths home cooking working well, 8 fouls to 2, and that last one was absolutely comical, randle just falling down and getting the call

Kings will have last possession and a chance to steal this one.. the whole stadium knows this will be a play for Cotton out of the timeout

How the hell have we tied the game. This is insane.

Randle took a shoulder to the head. C'mon.

Soft foul on Randle.

Make that two soft fouls on Randle.

Referees with a terrible call wanting to decide the contest.. did they have money on Perth?

#Homecooking

Yeah that's disappointing.

Trev enjoying a tasty dinner here

Do kings go for the 3 and the win or the 2 and OT?

Refs swallowed their whistle at perths end and brought kings back, then hit them with a couple quick fouls to give perth fts, just let them play

Randle chuck up a 3 and hope for the best. We didn't deserve to win this game, but I'll happily take it after those two terrible calls against Randle.

Oh man. That Wear 3 is just going to make the Cotton game winner more painful.

They wanted the three, some misdirection to open up the weak side 3.. 4.1 secs is plenty of time for Cotton to get off a great shot. Wildcats move the back to half court out of the timeout

WEAR that Perthies

Terrible execution for Perth to lose but maybe the refs will give it back to them

Kings have got Perth's number.

What is Aylen up to now, that greasy worm.

What the hell.

Like seriously.

Seriously.

Refs had money on Perth I'm sure of it.

The replay won't tell them anything, ball is out of the camera shot when it hits the scoreboard

Dumb move by Bogut

But surely ref has discretion to apply common sense.

No call on the court, so would be interested to see how they could do anything but call it.

What a pork chop.

Game over it should be kings victory.. thank god.. bloody refs wanted to screw them it seems

My favourite win of the past 6 years.

Sensational game of NBL hoops. Great effort by Sydney. Gutsy win.

Sydney now 8-2 in last 10.

2 losses to United, and one was on the buzzer.

Season now getting really interesting with United and Perth both having their number taken twice by a possible playoffs opponent

Awesome game to watch. Nice to see David Wear arrive at last. Hard to believe the Cats wasted that epic Cotton game.

Another dumb move by Pork Chop.

Is that 4 in a row vs Perth, or am I mistaken?

Bogut was largely ineffective but credit to Sydney for gutsy comeback win largely due to David Wear.

I feel you, Angus.

Great night.

Bugger you, Perth. Wankers.

Is Trevor the biggest cheerleader coach in NBL history?

Would like to see these two teams in a playoff series.

How good- is Gazey

Gosh lets hope Sydney beats Perth in the playoffs. Drewy would lose his mind with excitement

I honestly thought this was a relatively well reffed game despite some posters like J always having a sook about the refs. If you search hard enough you can always find something to whinge about like Cotton kicking his legs out on every three and the refs falling for it.

Sensational game of hoops - one of the best for the season. Makes me miss Jerome - I'd swap him in a heartbeat for Conger.

Has to be one of the biggest wins for the Kings in recent history.

Say what you will about Drewey's coaching but you have to love his passion and excitement for the game.

How about when Randle was called for that foul in the final minute.

Chasing Cotton around a screen and Cotton's head hit the screener's shoulder (Brandt I think), so Cotton did his usual head-back-flail thing and gets the call. I mean... I mean... jesus h christ

A win like that in a place like that despite giving away 21 o-boards... wow.

That's why I have had Sydney as champs. They're only improving from here, which is scary for the Bullets when they face off in the GF.

Cheers rat 10, i forget if a perth fan questions anything its not allowed. Everyone is the first to call out any call perth gets but question something against their opponent and the world turns flat. Kings got a few calls, perth didn't get a couple they probably should have, the kay dunk attempt especially. Sydney won, good on them, they need the much maligned wear to shoot 77%, and then carry on likw they won the championship, clearly they are the greatest team in nbl history.

J has a point, Perth really hard done by tonight. Boo hoo.

The cats were rolling in the third quarter and would be disappointed with the way they played in the last term. Really should have iced that game.
Kickert and Wear with an unbelievable shooting display to get them back in it. Kings bench outplayed Perths.
I agree the kings have so much more room for improvement which is scary. Bogut will normally be more influential and if Wear can produce that level more consistently then they are looking like title favourites.

This game was huge for the Kings highlighted by the fact Copeland was off the bench on his feet for the first time ever. #pumped

We're still the best though. Because.

Cracker of a game, import coming soon and one player will be released. Think perth just sussing out Sydney as they are titties favourites.

Expect a signing soon, not sure exact time frame.

Wow Cats for life thanks for the scoop.

No right to win this one. Sydney played poorly. Bogut not a factor. Perth not winning and 23 of 52 at the line AT HOME must weigh heavily on Perth psyche.
Randle, Kickert Wear better efforts but there is so much room for improvement in Sydney. I thought they were sloppy in the first half and gave up at least 12 TO points.
HOW DOES PERTH NOT WIN?????

A lot of people criticise Gaze for living & dying with every game/call, but he is a real avatar for a lot of the posters around here.

LOL. Lets see if Wear can shoot 77% for the rest of the season. We'll take the lucky win, but the kings were poor in all areas, and Angus Beef was better than Pork Chop. I wouldn't read too much into it. Perth was the better team.

Plenty to like for the Cats IMO. Terrible choke obviously, but I thought we looked the better team for most of the game. Credit to the Kings for staying within striking distance while being outplayed. Brandt beat Boooogut comfortably, Cotton had a ripper, Randle was reasonably contained, but they still stuck around. Fair to say they officially have no fear of the Wildcats now, home or away. Really like what Adnam adds to the backcourt mix. Credit to Gaze for sticking with what was working. Meanwhile I'm still trying to work out why Wagstaff played so many minutes, especially in crunch time. When he's not hitting his threes he brings very little, and his once-reliable outside shot has gone AWOL this season.

Good game of basketball. Shout out to the refs, too. They must have been pretty awesome for there not to be at least 30 whiny posts about them in a Cats thread.

Agree on all counts. Sydney's bench was always the question mark for them, and they are starting to stand up more and more as the season goes on, while Wear is becoming less of a drag on the starting group. Plenty of positive signs for both teams last night, was a quality game.

Fourth straight win over Perth for the Kings. Good to see Brandt outplay Bogut too.

"Good game of basketball. Shout out to the refs, too. They must have been pretty awesome for there not to be at least 30 whiny posts about them in a Cats thread."

No, Perth lost.

I completely disagree with the "plenty to love" sentiment. I think there is now plenty to worry about for Perth.
How the fuck do you let a team score 29 points in the 4th quarter in Perth? Especially a team of wheezing old men? Where has the Perth D gone?

There are really only two other teams in contention this year, and we've shown we can't beat either of them.
