Sydney v Cairns tonight

Now I tipped Sixers easily yesterday so what the f... would I know.

I can see Sydney at home coming out early and really setting up a big lead to the just cruise home. Sydney just to many guns in all positions. Kings by 20 plus.

Who wins tonight? Whoever hits the most 3s.
Everything else is just white noise.
Thats all the NBL is, jackl 3 after 3 after 3.
If they go in, great, if not, move to the next game.

Perhaps addition by subtraction if McCall is out, his game has been wonky.

Either way, Kings get this done post to post by 12.

Taipans playing well. 3 point game after Kings got ahead by 10. Taipans defending Cooks well

This Cairns starting five are very good. Kuol very good at both ends.

Cairns are a fun team this season

Strong defensively, put pressure on the opposition, get out and run. High energy basketball. They'll cause some upsets

So much more movement from both teams than yesterday's performance from Adelaide. Great to watch.

Foul, foul, foul, foul, foul

You can see what is happening, as soon as there is a scoring drought, the referees just cannot stop blowing the whistle and sending players to the line.

Then the NBL boats that it is a high scoring league LOL

Cairns can get a better import than Scott

Foul, foul. foul, foul, foul

The NBL is saying no defense is allowed.

Defense is frowned upon by the NBL.

No one is allowed to play it

If the NBL catches any team playing defense, there will be hell to play for them.

Jacket, I actually agree with you, why do they call so many soft fouls, as Forde said, what's wrong with you guys tonight. Let them play.

Cairns are playing very well, can they keep up with the Sydney juggernaut. Hopefully.

Dunkman, it is easy to see why so many fouls are being called. It is happening when the scoring dried up.

The NBL is an entertainment business. If there is no scoring then the crowd is getting bored.

They cannot have the crowd boreso they look for way to increase scoring and then the NBL can boast they have a high scoring league.

When do you think the owner of the league will come out and say the NBL is the best league in the world? Better than the NBA?

What's the point of having Simon if you’re not using him to defend the other teams best perimeter player - in this case Scott.

As Gazey said, no call, the make calls up, it's rubbish.

Cairns are such a modern team

No traditional 5 man.

Players who can defend with versatility. Can switch everything if they want

Every player can shoot the 3

Get the ball through lots of hands

Is a winning formula

Wow some of these offensive fouls tonight.

The line between a flop and a drawn charge has never been so blurred!!!

Enjoyable game, just wish the refs would put the whistle away. McCall should come off the bench we he returns.
Pinder and Cooks was a even contest when opposed to each other. Scott was fantastic, Hogg great, Kuol is such a team player, Forde out coached Buford, rest cairns guys all chipped in.
Sydney will be back, imo there subbing was woeful, Hunter is better than 5 minutes a game. Glover spent to much time on the floor taking charges.

The refs tried their utmost to screw Cairns but thankfully the better team on the night prevailed

Hats off to Cairns. I was real impressed with how well they took Walton Jnr out of the game - Kuol very physical and troubled him, and Scott was class.

Very poor refereeing once again, and no consistency. Soft stuff is whistled, obvious contact on drives ignored, and too many stoppages.

Just once I'd like to watch a Cairns game where the commentators at least try to hide their enthusiasm for the other team scoring on Cairns
