Kings vs Taipans, Nov 1

ballwatcher, from where I was sitting it looked like Cadee kneed Gliddon on the fast break due to sloppy defensive footwork. The no-call set Wilbekin off, and fair enough. But it certainly got the crowd going and the rest is history.

And to all the knockers of Kevin White at least he showed some heart. Casual Cadee had the chance to control the game but seemed more interesting in his swagger, as usual.

Hopefully Childress can play D.

What is Kevin White's position? Gets called a combo guard but gets barely any assists his 1/8 2pt effort last night is par for the course.

Did not catch this game last night, but by all accounts the Kings did well enough to hang tough for a while before Cairns did what everyone expected them to do.

Taipans bite Kings, stay perfect with dominant last quarter

Just watched the replay.

Start at around 2:29 remaining in the 3rd quarter for the play that led to the tech.
Cadee drives left into the keyway
Kicks ball out to Ellis outside the 3 point arc
Ellis to Madgen as defence closes in
Madgen to Cadee, still on left, to reset offence
Cadee drives right into keyway with a hook shot over an outstretched Tragardh
Shot bounces off back rim
Ellis comes from nowhere over Wilbekin to grab rebound.
Ellis runs the right baseline into Bruce
Ellis kicks ball out to no one in particular, out of desperation.
Ball bounces just short of halfcourt line into backcourt violation territory.
Desperate retrieval by Joyce throwing ball back towards Cadee
Intercept by Gliddon in full flight
Gliddon drives straight to the rim with Joyce ahead of him
Joyce sets his feet, Cadee comes from behind
Looks very much like a knee nudge from Cadee sending Gliddon toppling
No call ....
Joyce mops up ball and Wilbekin forces him to the right touchline
Wilbekin fouls Joyce, both players momentum taking them to the touchline
@2.00-1.59, Referee takes a step forwards towards the players as they propel towards the touchline and makes the call
Wilbekin brushes referee and appears to spray the ref, either for the Gliddon no call or stepping into players path
The rest is history.
Comments, anyone?

Cotter is becoming more clueless as the season progresses.

Fair call. I opened my mouth too soon , he's been killing it in the last quarter lol

Does anyone else think Gliddon is extremely overrated ? I struggle to see how he can be justified as starting PG.

Wow , Kings playing well and Cairns offense looks rattled.

Kings were ugly vs Perth and I think that Cairns offence is a lot better than the wildcats at present. Without Childress the Kings are lacking big time. They are going to need everyone to step up or face a 20 + blow out.

I'm really interested to see how Perry responds after being destroyed by Martin last week. Will he come out firing with a point to prove or will he crumble even further.

Need a few more floor sweepers - preferably with mops to mop up the blood.

I agree, Cairns should be too good a both ends. Snakes by 12.

I think the only way the league can survive long term and manage all the Salary cap and Financial info/issues is to own 50% of every club.
Pay each license $1,000,000 payable on the signing of Fox and Naming Right Sponsor for the League.

Then have their own Finacial accountant appointed for each club reporting to the new BA/NBL.
