NZB vs SYD - Game 2

Kings only sat out Childress from what I heard? Makes sense, no point risking him...

I heard also that Thornton was a lot more impressive in the scrimmage, Cedric being out makes a bit more sense that Marcus would have a bit easier time, but hopefully still gives him that bit more confidence ready for the Wildcats at Moss Vale on Saturday...

On Sunday the Kings played at the Breakers practice facility. They played 4x 10min mini games, essentially just scrimmage quarters behind closed doors.

NZ had Ced Jackson out with a cold, to go with Abercrombie who is expected to miss the pre-season blitz after re injuring his hamstring, Pledger and Webster.

Unsure if Sydney has any injury concerns.

Sydney won 3/4.

That's great if TeRangi can knock down his shots with some consistency, last night he went 1/7 from outside making the Breakers only 3 point shot!

The whole team were appalling from everywhere shooting 33% from the floor and 4% from behind the arc (1/24).

Charles Jackson is beginning to find his feet and put up much better numbers and Tai Wesley showed some hustle at both ends but apart from that they were a Train Wreck compared to the previous games efficiency.
Some credit must go to Sydney for making some defensive adjustments but how much of it was down to NZ's poor offensive execution?

Having Abercrombie now injured to go with Pledgers recovery and the Webster/NBA situation is not ideal. Luckily they have Ced Jackson, Mika Vukona and Wesley.

Breakers shooting from outside was shocking, Abercrombie injured his hammy also

I wouldn't be surprised if the Kings are trying to focus on different players in different games, as like Rex said, it was like a different Childress this game, at least by the stats, but his lower numbers still weren't bad, like he was forcing things and just weren't coming off, more like he wasn't being the focus, which as a Kings fan, is great to see Jules stepping up from the start... and he got the impressive numbers he had in just over 26mins...

Markovic with another ordinary stat line, but I'll save judgement until I see him running the team in person as we know lots of stuff doesn't always appear on the stat sheet...

Still need to work on rebounding, but great to see other players step up a bit as well, if we can get consistent effort from the bench to support the starters, that will go a hugely long way to improve on last season...
