Live on Channel 10 tonight too. Hopefully with the lack on anything on tonight the game gets good ratings.

Yes should be great, 8.30 pm aedt. Now both these teams don't back down, refs call fouls but also let them play, so many good match ups, benches deep. I really got no idea who gets the W, I’ll go kings due to home court advantage by a few.

Should be a fabulous game but won't be! Illawarra too poised and genuinely confident in themselves. Sydney can be erratic when pushed and I reckon Hawks will push the Kings from the start. Hawks, comfortably!

Can't wait to watch this. Cracking game for an otherwise boring Xmas night.

Hoping little brother Wollongong gives it to Sydney again.

Hawks by 5.

Must be streaming, no sign of it on any tv guide, can't even see it on 10 play.

Is there a more dislikable player than Shaun Bruce rn? Needs another crunch to the chops.

Where are people watching it? Trueman show in tv and their streaming.

Bruce again, kings started very well, went on Cooks, Bruce did first nudge imo.

Bruce is probably on the podium, but for mine Sobey is a standout gold medalist in the dislikability games.

I'm watching on Kayo.

On channel 10 in NSW/Vic/Tas/ACT.

Only on 10Play (and ESPN) elsewhere.

Bruce wants to be like Loe when he grows up.... My bad - Bruce will never grow up LOL.

I'm surprised Bruce gets away with as much shit as he does.

Also on Kayo Freebies if you prefer that.

Got it had to got to live tv then all the way to the bottom. The button in their big advert just played the Trueman stream.

Why the hell would they show it in most states on FTA and not others? Can understand time difference for WA maybe, but another blunder.
But on positive note at least it's on for big markets, just confusing why not put it on everywhere for some good exposure.

Kings looking very good early, totally slowed the hawks down, Days 3, Froling 2 and Olbrich 2 fouls at end first, not good. Hawks looking nervous imo. Cooks on 2 for kings.

Hawks having no answer to Tooheys scoring.
Brian : Hold my beer!

Maybe needed a breather but seriously is Brian suffering some form of dementia, let the Hawks right back in it. Most other coaches would be getting a lot of questions asked with the team that's been assembled. Going downhill rapidly.

I'm enjoying this, 58 all. Nice come back from hawks after being 10 down. Hickey got be in the best sixth man of the year award, just works so hard. Fouls might decide this game.

What a joke not on 10, 10 Play or Kayo Freebies.

Zodiac go to 10 play, live channels, then scroll all the way to the bottom. They did have a big banner but it was just streaming the Trueman feed. Should be on 10 though.

Blew in the tunnel, Toohey looked absolutely gassed at halftime to be fair to Goorj

I clicked on the game link on 10 Play and it just goes to the Truman Show?

Joshuaspending, actually what you said worked. I had clicked on the game link on the front page which just goes to the Truman Show if scrolling right down to the bottom of the 'Live TV' section a direct link for the game.

Wonder why they go to the trouble of basically hiding the link from you? Seems very odd.

Yeah very strange.

Every shootout I see I become more confident in Tasmania's championship credentials

Hawks get home court in GF series I'd still think they’d be favourites, Tatum is a smart coach. Noi minus 17 at 3/4 time.

I've said it before and I’ll say it again. The Kings re-signing Adams is straight management malpractice

lol so now Goorj finally calls a timeout when Kings are down 14 with 6 minutes left.

Only on 10 on east coast is absolutely bizarre. Why in the hell would they do that? I understand if it clashed with the news in Perth, but this is just dumb.

Kings carry on like sore losers before game is not even close to being finished.

Fair enough about Toohey being gassed, but that move changed the game big time. Did he appear the rest of the quarter? Give him a timeout and a minute or so of game time to get that breather, but unless there's an illness it's bizarre to sit him, plus bringing in Le'Afa to replace him isn't really a like for like.
Brian is just bad now despite commentary constantly bringing up his history. He'd definitely be on the hot seat if he was someone else.

I don't agree with the quick 2 nonsense.

Not fouling with a four-second differential is certainly a choice.

Very enjoyable game in my view, hawks nearly chucked it away. I thought both coaches were excellent but also made a few bad decisions. Toohey, Adams good for kings, Kell outstanding for hawks, Days very good but got stop dumb fouls.

Possibly a hawks v JJs GF, now that would be something.

Well done to both teams and an exciting finish. Not the comfy win I predicted. Chance of OT in last 3.8 secs, 1st for the season?

There definitely needs to be changes to how officials handle these situations they should not be stepping in putting their hands on players trying to stop them you have tribunals for a reason. And under no circumstances can a player push a ref there's kids watching these games in no circumstances can we say that’s ok

Not only beaten into 4th place, will you look at the titles that were above us? If that's the kind of trash that people prefer, what chance do we (basketball fans) stand?

Are tv ratings still important, the is other ways to watch basketball.
