Tired old legs from the Kings don't leave me hopeful they'll pick up the W today.

Can a team play to dictate where they want to finish and play a team they are more comfortable playing? Understand hca and all but sometimes you wonder if they play a game what is suited for them?

Adelaide v Sydney? Adelaide would be favourites? Or United v Adelaide? Perth v who ever really.

Nice write up Jack. Lisch only played 1 season in Perth arena before heading overseas. With the accumulated time away from the NBL Newely probably has more minutes in PA.

"“The time zone? Is 5pm too late to play for them?"

Idk that Kings roster is pretty old, surely it must be close to their bed time."

Elders do sometimes get a bit confused and discombobulated with changes to routine timing. And, they might want dinner at 5pm.

I see cotton still has that thumb strapped

Kings just can't afford to have Randle sit for more than a few minutes at a time.

Both coaches riding starters pretty hard.

Potential weaknesses in finals series.

Imagine if Brandt played like this versus any other team. Just seems to bring it for Bogut.

"ADMAN"

Gaze just loves this Adnam/Randle backcourt. Kills us on defense.

Gaze definitely reverting to the mean tonight. Horrible rotations are what have put the Wildcats in front.

Ughh White is such a chucker

You'd think only going with 2 imports you'd want both to be guns

Wow seems like only Cotton gets the call when he sticks his leg out on the three. I hate that call but if you set the precedent that has to be a foul and Randle should have been shooting an extra.

Feels like I've never seen Martin miss a floater.

Damos floater is strait fire rite now

or his three ball right about now.

Love these playoff previews today.

77-77 so it's OT!

Sheesh. Really poor by the Kings there. Should've dribbled 4 more seconds off the clock and just did the 1-5 pick that everyone was expecting.

If Sydney can't win in OT, how are they supposed to tackle a 3 game semi final series?

Tactical error by the Kings advancing the ball that could have hurt them.

'Ownership and even the fans don't seem to mind. Taking it willingly straight down their throats.'

Plot twist - I'm actually an ex Perth member

Was terrico fouled? He sure asked for it

Kickert had a good opportunity for another player impersonation on the Cotton foul there.

UTA at least the Kings have turned up both times at PA. Unlike most teams who come here with limp dicks.

Stupid decision to have Adnam out there at all, even with Lisch off.

Speaking of limp... awful decision making by Kickert.

Haters will say it's because Randle is injured.

But hats off to that little grasshopper from Perth

This is my house baw

Gaze brings Bogut off as well. As great as Cotton has been, Gaze has just sunk the Kings tonight with his piss poor subs.

Oh well, entertaining game and the Kings still seem to be trending the right direction.

Hell of a 4th/OT from Cotton too.

Those fans in Perth have been treated to so many super close games with Sydney and United this season

Those 3 have played each other really closely this season

Wildcats were 1/19 from 3 at one point, if my memory isn't letting me down? Crazy comeback.

What a fantastic game and so amazing witnessing randle and cotton going at it in last quarter. Sydney just faded late possibly due to backing up after a game and travel. But impressive performance from both teams. Impossible to pick championship favourites

Yea lv 1 foul in the 4th quarter for the Kings home cooking going 5 star! Don't hear you know.

Great game, agree with poor subs from Gaze but I don't think they lost any fans today, they will be tremendous fun to watch for the rest of the season and good luck to anyone beating them.

Kay had a quieter game so for the Wildcats to still win is great signs.

As great as this game was, I couldn't take my eyes off Homicide and Redhage doing commentary, they were visually bloody funny as Cotton was going off... can't wait to hear the banter on commentary

I love it when cotton gets fired up he usually directs it towards the commentary tea. The lip reading was extra special today

*team

Kings have no choice but to try Newley at the 2 because Adnam-Randle just doesn't work. There are too many quality 2 guards in this league, and watching Randle or Adnam try to man up on anyone over 6'0 is painful. They both put in effort, but they just don't have the length to challenge shooters and we keep getting burnt off it.

He needs to come up with a rotation that ensures Adnam is only ever on the court with Lisch or Newley, but probably won't make any adjustments.

@ anon; was that the headknock on Brandt? Not sure that was a flop.

Gleeson got a warning.

I'm pretty sure Bogut subbed himself out with a minute to go.

"Why is Gaze allowed on the court to coach and why is he given a warning instead of an immediate tech like Gleeson was given?"


He's not. He may be on the court but nothing he does resembles coaching

I was so angry after this game because I put $20k on the Kings

Gaze has done really well at deferring to Bogut this year, to be fair.

I was so angry after this game because I put $20k on the Kings

Unreal humour, lovebroker. Always the same stuff. Haven't worked out whether you're trying to be funny or caustic. It comes across as the latter

Can't see it discussed here?
What moron from Sydney made the decision to advance the ball after that last timeout in the 4th?

Made no difference in the end, but if White didn't fold under pressure, they could have snatched the game in regular time.

@ LB; Gaze I'm sure. It wasn't clear on the broadcast that that was what happened, so I was wondering why Randle took that shot with so much time left on the clock.

D2 it was mentioned by Rat10 (https://www.hoops.com.au/forum/44793-perth-v-sydney-feb-10/#p733563) during the game. Shocking move.
