Ok, didn't have to wait long. It's official.

TEAM UPDATE

Kristian Doolittle has passed all of his concussion protocols and will be available to play today!

The battle in the paint Hunter v Pinder could prove decisive.

Cotton v Adams of last week this should be really fun!!

Cats by eight. Defence wins big games and kings will have to improve a lot in that area.

Doolittle in is huge, swings it to Perth by 5

Bolden is out

Please Kings play zone against Cotton.

Bolden out might be bonus for kings, shorten rotation.

Usher has turned into a very useful player, credit coaches. Kings still chucking up rubbish

Syney Syney Syney!

Cats ball movement is beautiful to watch, very good game, kings trailing by 14 but still not out of it if some of those threes drop.
At present Rillie coach of the year, done a superb job after shaky start.

Stop playing zone, you are no good at it

Pinder two fouls could hurt.

Perth not interested in rebounding or playing defense

Ref's coming to Sydney's rescue

Cats being outplayed. Must be the refs'fault.

Sarr missing could hurt cats down the stretch, certainly when Pinder is in foul trouble which is regular

Awful minutes from C Webster.
As soon as both Webster bros on court together, Perth go backwards.
This is the crap JR did in the 1st part of the season

Rosen comparing Torrance to Wagstaff was ... a choice I guess.

If that's a defensive foul on Harris then the ref's are coming to the rescue. Blatant drop the shoulder, straight through the chest, comical

Cats living by the three ball and getting smashed on the boards. The kings just want it more. Anyones game

Amazing the wildcats are still leading when the rebound count is 43 to 26.

Keanu owes us a good quarter

So Rillie apparently said "we don't need to work on our weaknesses".
Pure genius!

Keanu continues to be dismal.

Pinder doesn't get the foul call??? Wow

Then they call a billshit foul on pinder, commentary also crap it wast a foul, your editing the ref an opportunity to call the foul.... after the no calls at the other end....

Another bait out from Aylen, more Sydney ft...

Bye Keanu. Soundly beaten today. Weak.

Why da fuq they intervieweing DJV courtside. Who cares.

Not a defensive foul on the shot? But a foul on the rebound? Hunter looks like he was hit by a sniper

Not hunter's 5th? Convenient

So much contact on Sydney, a possible hunter walk, then a soft call for sydney

Bruuuuuuuuuce

Costly brain shart from Bruce

How the fuck is that both a foul???

What a strange coach's challenge, how does that help them?

Great challenge
Win it and then immediately foul Bryce anyway

Should probably challenge that too as it wasn't a foul last time.... Sydney is allowed to run into the player with thr ball

Made us work for that one.

Good stuff, Cats.

Awesome win after such a quick turnaround. Cotton, Tai and Usher all in great form, love to see it.

Usher was huge for us today

What coach in the NBL plays zone for 3/4 of the game, his zone has more holes in it then Swiss cheese
The Kings would look so much better playing man defensively and disrupting the ball up court with the calibre of players he has at his disposal ( Bruce, Galloway, Glover). The Kings off old under Chase fought over screens & made teams earn their win with good offense & shooting
Kings offense is so 1 out with no ball or player movement, when the Kings do move they look good but that is few & far between

Kings did well to get back in it and make it a competitive game, but Perth just much too good on either end and looking like the champs favourites at this point unless United can find some form.

Agree completely on the zone - it works when teams don't expect it, but when teams come out from the opening tip playing a zone attack offense then you get the kind of start that Sydney had yesterday.
