Sydney v Melbourne Dec 11

Angus H talking about someone else being awkward, stop it man I'm ROFL.

Adnam can undoubtedly shoot, and that's about it.

Not sure if adnam should be mentioned in a positive light. Melbourne had their worst results when he was playing minutes

Youth = Energy : )

That would make sense!

& if people are given a chance & opportunity to step up, their energy can be infectious... just like Delany for NZ, Adnam for UTD, etc.

Word is a few kings players and one assist coach had a few too celebration drinks after the cairns win and showed today against mel utd with key players looking very lethargic.

I think Gaze was spot on after the game - the Kings just looked fatigued. NZ aside, we've played 2 or 3 more games than most teams so far, and it showed today. A lot of shots falling short, and not a lot of hustle.

But hey, Melbourne shot the lights out, and if Ware and Goulding shoot like that, it's always going to be tough.

There was one ref tonight who I've never seen before, and talk about deer in headlights. Seemed like he needed to be consoled every time he blew the whistle, and by about the 3rd Q he looked like he wanted to sink into the floor and disappear, like when you see someone dying on stage while public speaking... super awkward.

Great idea bench the big names and get who to step up?
Very disappointing to see the Kings play so insipidly. No DA, it should have been a cakewalk.

It frustrates me to see such a star studded Kings line up, just not turn up sometimes. Newley & Lisch bring their A game every game, but some of the other 'stars' can be pretty inconsistent. What's the go there? Complacency?

I reckon some of the big names outside of Lisch & Newley need to be maybe benched or minutes cut or something, cause if these sort of lazy effort games sneak in at the back end of the season, then you're kissing a championship goodbye!

If it wasn't for Lisch &/or Newley almost single handedly getting the Kings across the line in a few games this season, the Kings could be oathe bottom of this super tight comp!

@Air Delay yep, Prewster is shooting at 30% from the field. A player that shoots that bad is just not a factor

Lets see what happens when Wares FLUKEY stretch of 3s stop..

This team is no dfferent to last year...heavily reliant on the 3 ball...when it comes off...wonderfu...when it doesnt.....just like last year..

Classy from CG43 in his post-game interview to send his regards to the family of the young boy who died playing basketball in Perth.

I never thought I'd get distracted from Abbey Gelmi but I was touched by those words from Bubbles.

Quality game by United.

Ware and CG43 opening up the floor and draw so much attention, so Majok and Williams got some lovely dunks rolling to the hoop.

Ware isn't just a high volume shooter from way outside. I've been impressed by his D, rebounding and passing too. Let's hope he keeps this up cos he seems to be the full package.

What are all you fans going to be doing when this league goes BUST in a year?

The MOST CROOKED AND CORRUPT LEAGUE THE WORLD HAS SEEN.

Thats all players and referees do....bet on games.

This league is FUCKING RIFE with players gambling on games.

Another underperforming game from Goulding.

Maybe the Kings just haven't slept much since Cairns? Soooooooooo lethargic.

Lisch's hustle is second to none.
Still puzzles me why Gazey persists with Prewster in the rotation... should move Newley to 2 when Cadee rests.

Ware has turned Melb from cellar dwellers to title contenders

Way too many sloppy t/o's by United here

Loving the banter between Casper and Lisch

Standard zero atmosphere kings crowd. Must not have handed the free tickets to the loud junior clubs this week. 7000 attendance, 2000 paid, 100 knowledgeable.

How many fouls will be called in this game?

Over or under 55 in 40 minutes?

Clearly no one is allowed to defend in this league. If you do you will be punished.

The owner of this league is under the delusion that higher points will result in more viewers which will result in a bigger TV deal which means more profit for him when he sells it.

This loser doesnt understand that stopping the game every 20 seconds makes the game unbearable to watch and the ratings have reflected this.

Oh well,, he will learn the hard way.

Hey folks, just wondering if any of you tech savy people have a way of getting the audio of Bill Simmons calling the Heat Warriors game today?

Thanks
