NBL R11: United vs Kings
Honestly, that was a good game to watch on TV even with Childress out.
Melbourne sneaks back into top four after overtime win
Despite a spirited effort without Josh Childress, the Sydney Kings have gone down to Melbourne United, who needed overtime for the second consecutive game before prevailing 105-101. The victory has moved United back above the Kings on the ladder, two wins clear in fourth place.

Cadee fouled on drive , but
1) refs don't call that in the last seconds of a game
2) refs don't call that on Worthington
3) every guard knows they won't get the score or the foul in that situation on Worthington.
Cadee is just not that bright ( loved his behind tha back dribble that gave the steal and lay up to Melb - when they desperately needed a stop and it looked like sydney were about to go 6 up in the last 2 minutes of the 4th quarter.

Tigers United!

Childress has the right attitude. A very good example to many.
Some very hot shooting in that first half!

Great to see Childress on the sideline coaching players and helping them out, jumping up supporting his team and cheering every bucket and getting among.

Cadee! Wow
14 points (4/6 3pt) in the first 8 mins of the game!
That's what I have been waiting to see from him.
Good on him for punishing United. They didn't show respect when he came off those on ball screens.



Word at the venue is Childress is OUT! Hamstring issues apparently.
Roy Ward: Josh Childress no where to be seen on court, his name isn't on the scoreboard. Appears he is a late scratching due to hamstring probs
Could be the difference between winning and losing fro the Kings if he does in fact miss the game.

I also think Garlapp may be the difference between the two sides but Sydney need to shut down Melbournes perimeter shooting if they are to have a hope in hell of winning.

I'm with you LC, this game is probably one of the most crucial games of the season. The series between United and the Kings will be a big part in deciding the 4th spot and so both teams will be keen to get first blood. Who will go the full Rambo this afternoon? Will Childress bag out? Who from United will stand up? and will Ben Madgen dance with a chair?
I'm actually liking the Kings to get this one. Being able to shoot the 3 is important, but the Kings can do that, plus drive in, plus be a threat inside. I think Tommy Garlepp will be the quiet achiever and will be the difference today (sorry Tom for giving you my Kiss of Death, don't let me down son!)

Just a little paragraph from NBA.COM
If you want to read the whole thing, here is the link:
Austin Daye really stole the show amongst the small forwards. His shot barely touched the net on almost all his attempts, and he looked ridiculously smooth in pretty much everything he did. Internationals Joe Ingles and Omri Casspi both shot the ball well. Tyler Smith and Damion James look like they'll be heading back to school, while Sam Young showed some serious athleticism
