R16: Kings vs Breakers

Breakers were out played and settled early for jump shots while Sydney were aggressive and earnt early trips to the foul line.
By the time NZ tried to adjust, Sydney were riding a wave of confidence and had played the crowd out of the game.
NZ were in a big hole well before the refereeing became an issue also so to blame them is a cop out.
17/6 is still far better than Vickermans first season.

They can put 200% it ain't going to happen. Just a nice training drill for a Friday night.

lol... going into the game I might have agreed with you, but I have to admit to loving that this was SO far off the mark...

As for the reffing, I dare anyone to find any more bad calls that the Breakers got against them than the Kings... I'm not talking about the pushes or the reach in fouls that the Breakers bigs are now getting called for, or the contact that Jackson initiates that the refs have not been calling for a lot of the season (when they;'ve been getting it right) but the clearly bad calls... (nb: I just got to the point in the 4th where Jackson got called for a foul that should have been a jump ball - THAT was crap)

Forget the missed flop warnings for Vukona and Ibekwe (before he actually got called for one in the 4th) one team played with hustle all game, one team played as a team, and that wasn't the Breakers, even the incredibly biased Breakers commentators said so...

Well done Kings. Controlled the game tempo and scored at will. I like Cody Ellis and I don't think his coach gives him his due.
We ended up chasing the game and no team looks good when nothing seems to go your way. A good wake up call but also a timely reminder, any team can beat any other on the night.
Worrying signs with another poor effort from Webster.

NZ couldn't stop Sydney from hitting shots without fouling and Sydney forced NZ into tough shots that weren't falling.
Vukona was pretty terrible, was he sick?

One of the Breakers worst performances in a while.

Massive win by the Kings!

http://pickandroll.com.au/nbl-201415-round-16-preview-kings-thrash-breakers-keep-season-alive/

The Sydney Kings have annihilated the New Zealand Breakers 101-81, handing the Breakers just their 6th loss of the season and first at Vector Arena. The Kings produced a strong team performance led by Josh Childress and his 28 points, as five Kings players scored in double digits and they won in convincing fashion.

Would make things very interesting if Cairns and NZ drop their next couple of games.

Oops. Sorry, force of habit with NZ games.

Final result, NZ 101-81 Sydney.

Dangerous for NZ if Cairns knocks over Perth tomorrow. Also potentially dangerous if we're seeing a mid-season shift in refereeing to closer to last year (NZ got murdered in the foul count, even before the late tactical fouling).

Wesley, Vukona, Jackson and now Ibekwe all gone o_O

Wow, Kings not doing this by halves.

First Wesley gone, now Vukona gone. Breakers closing on points, but too late.

Stopping the breakers is about early fouls on Vukona and Ibekwe, for the most part.

Up by 17 going into the 4th, would take a meltdown of epic proportions for Sydney to lose this game

@Jack Toft,

Seems you weren't kidding about Breakers in cruise control.

Of course, last time they were in NZ, Sydney got a very serious HT lead and then got mullered in the 2nd half so anything can happen.

30-15 2nd quarter was a big surprise though.

Kings taking it to the breakers at the moment.

Two early fouls on Ibekwe in 5' could be dangerous for NZ.

The Breakers are all fit and healthy going into this game bar Pledgers continued toe injury so Sydney should have their work cut out for them.

NZ by 7 is a fair call and prob not too far from the mark.
