Will Sydney Kings make finals?

For what it's worth, it's being talked already about Cadee coming off the bench with Lisch starting at the point...

Agree with the lack of D still being a huge problem but with imports and hopefully a few more key players to sign, hopefully Kev will be able to set the tone and the expectation... Newls wouldn't be slack at that end either I don't think...

Who can say which teams will make the finals at this point in time?

As I understand it, there are currently three confirmed import signings between ALL of the teams for next season. (Jerome Randle, Torrey Craig and Cedric Jackson, with Tai Wesley at MU as an Asian import, which I think is correct.)

At any rate, there are no teams with a full roster, and only Melbourne have a starting line-up in place (assuming Tai Wesley will start).

If Sydney's starting line-up is Cadee, Lisch, Newley, Garlepp and Khazzouh.... no, they will not make the top four. They'd be lucky to finish last with that starting 5.

The Kings have always been talked about making the finals in the preseason... Then the real basketball season starts and as they have in the past they Violently Crumble!

They past couple years they haven't played a full season with Heart, Toughness, Passion and more importantly DEFENCE and with the new coaching staff who themselves back in their playing days never played "D" I'm not confident that mindset will change.

IMO Lisch will be the only player that will play the D every game and he alone will not get the team to the finals.

They have a 4 in 8 chance

Maybe yes, maybe no.

I'm a Kings fan and love the moves they've made and even I can't tip them to make the top 4, this season is just as unpredictable as the last at this time of the season... They've given themselves a MUCH better chance, both on and off the court, that much can be certain though...

Very good, they in my 4 along with United and Perth, I cant tell who will round it out yet, but sorry 36er fans wont be Adelaide this season. I think they are on the slide, perhaps a sneaky is Brisbane or The Gong if they can bring back Rotnei Clarke as many suspect.

Mashing up 2 threads into 1 here, so apologies for any confusion caused.

Just moved into a new house, and want to get the most amount of NBA possible. Obviously games are on One HD, but what other TV package would I need to see the most games? Just a basic Foxtel one? Or something with ESPN?

Also, am thinking about getting a membership to Synergy Sports (just google them if you don't know them). Does anyone already have one? Is it worth it? Any info would be awesome.
