Illawarra down to only Boone as import, other bloke went home, probably makes hawks fans happy. Yes kings could lose this if there half hearted, who's playing for kings will also be interesting, any players resting and is Didi, Moller or Bogut back. Kings saying all subject to medical clearance. Kings could still finish second if Perth win big and Sydney lose big.
Illawarra got contracts to play for, Blanchfield does well when he’s under no pressure re result, does Boone get another go there next season? Grida, Naar, got a bit to prove after having very up and down seasons.

Kings by 3 in what should be an entertaining game.

Moller is back, apparently. Does that mean Taylor is off the roster? I assume the Kings will keep him around as a training player or something.

The way Taylor has been playing for this team offensively & defensively I'm sure he stay in the lineup, don’t wanna mess up momentum ... these last couple of games playing more & guarding elite guards
Limited Naar (Not elite) 4-12, No assists
Limited Goulding 4-13
Limited Cotton 9-25, 2-12 from 3
Limited Roberson 7-21, 2 points in 4th/OT

Offensive Numbers have great last 5 games
Averaging 15.6 Mins Per
11.2 PPG
2 RPG
1.5 ASTG
70 FG% & 80% 3FG


They kid can play! He does the little things that contribute to wins that don’t always show up on the box score. That’s the player 36ers we’re getting but can’t turn down Randle because he was unproven. Remember he’s still a rookie he will be a hell of a player

Bogut and Moller back, Twitter saying Walker out, if true actually makes a lot sense.

For team balance Walker out and Taylor in seems a very smart move, certainly with the Lisch injuries of recent times. Kings seem to be making a lot smart moves with Smith and Weaver at the helm.

Walker is sick, not injured. Don't know if injury replacements work for players with the sniffles.

I thought the rules regarding injury replacements stated that once that player (Moller) returns, then the replacement (Taylor) can't suit up. But the replacement (Taylor) can replace another player with a season ending injury?

Maybe Koberulz can clear it up

Final round of the season and the Kings find a new way to take the piss.

He didn't sign as a training player
You get three imports
Tate
Ware
Now Taylor

Naar out injured for the hawks.

Had some nice moments Naar but if he is out it'll shorten there rotation which should give Dech, Glover, Grida more opportunity which strengthens Illawarra.

So the kings have 4 imports now, a naturalised import, bogut former boomer and current boomer cooks. Wonder why they have been so good so far????

Talent clearly. Oh and good recruiting.

I'm glad Sydney found a way to keep Taylor all season.
Didi will be instantly healthy in time for playoffs.

Nothing dodgy about Sydney at all.
Totally ok to upgrade Kuany with Cooks.
Totally ok with an import (Taylor) replacing injured Miller.
And now with playoffs upon us Walker is magically injured just in time to keep Taylor longer.

Didi playing into a good draft position.... Oh hang on he is already drafted lol.

* Moller.

All the consecutive meaningless Perth finals appearances and never once have Perth or any other team been #1 all season. Great record.

Being #1 all regular season doesn't Mean much unless you carry through in playoffs.

Kings will clean the slate with United. But they'll have some issues with the taipans in the GF.

Not certain how Perth have got two imports.

Plumlee nba.
Cotton
White
Hunt thrown aside for Plumlee.

Oh yeah how about Redage and Grace just off the top my head, imports playing as locals. The whole points system helped NZ and Perth for years and now it oh fucking Sydney are cheating.
Any one but Perth.

How is gastro considered an injury? Sydney using this as a reason to keep Taylor sounds shitty to me!

any suggestion Boone and Anderssen retiring

What does is
Matter re:Taylor?

Once finals start Kings will have to sit someone if Moller and Lisch are fully healthy. Taylor signed as injury/prac player and has handled his role very well.

Whether he played or not vs Illawarra it would not have made a difference.

Some of the Kings hate here is with a blindfold

Rules get made up by hoops experts, there is never any proof, normally Perth and Adelaide fans, Adelaide because there not successful and Perth because they don't like competition.
Kings would be quite with in the rules to keep Taylor now as he’s qualified and cut any player on there roster for him, that’s why clubs chose to imports early in season to get good replacements if required.

There is no rule book. Thats not Sydneys fault. Thats all Larry.

Newley went back to bench yesterday with Lisch being available. Kings bench could probably finish between 4 and 6 in this league.

Kickett
Moller
Newley
Taylor
Bruce.

Nothing to be offended about, I'd preferred to disliked and work within the rules than live in a country town of Perth with a chip on there shoulders where they spend more on there team than all but supporters think they all play for free because Perth is such a wonderful place. Lmao.

Lol The definition of irony. Perf fans lecturing anybody else about anything in regards to "not getting it".

Actually that would be the definition of hypocrisy but tell us more about what we don't get.

Spending for one.
Cotton is on half a million. Even your journo Lachie Reid said he was on $600k. Also you pay out Dario Hunt to get plumlee $$$$. You out bid Melbourne for Nick Kay.
Nothing wrong with spending it as they are worth it. But listening to Perth people cry about Sydney's budget is dumb when they easily spend the most. Put down the bias and just think for one moment. Look at the roster. $$$$

Cotton becoming Aussie sends his price tag even higher!
Will become the highest paid player in NBL history with his next contact

DeRp ThAT wAS bOgUT

Its great for the NBL the cotton cant make the NBA in his prime!
