The Breakers played really well. An entirely different outfit to their last visit in Sydney. They wanted it BAD and could tell that the Kings were only 1/4 paying attention through the first half. Even though they were down you got the feeling the Kings just figured they could turn it up just a slight notch when necessary and still win, but they underestimated how well the Breakers could actually play and how much they were going to fight for it. The Kings were without two starters, and for most of the game were just going through the motions to the point where when it came time to turn it up they simply were too unfocused for too long and couldn't put it together. From that came clear frustration and stupid stuff ups. The Breakers were hot and determined, took advantage and deservedly punched them away for a great win.
As a Kings fan there was nothing worrying about it though. The Kings underestimated their opponent, to the point where Goorjian has admitted the team didn't prepare for the game at all and he didn't even view any tape of the two imports (who did most of the damage at both ends) until 2hrs before the game. The team, like probably virtually everyone around the League, seemed to just assume it would be a walk in the park. The game didn't mean a thing outside of getting that 'undefeated at home tag'. They f*cked up, but I don't think it reflects anything more outside of a lack of motivation and effort. I think Cairns will cop it next weekend as a result.
If this Breakers squad had been together since the start of the season, they'd be a dangerous team now. They're a legit line up at the moment and deserved that win.
