Sydney v Perth Jan 27

Better lose your shit then cos Bogut WILL be DPOTY and all NBL 1st team, duh.

Angus Beef is better than Pork Chop. Wear is he going? Where is our PF?

Turner has been bouncing around the state leagues for almost a decade and must be very close to PR, which makes you unrestricted in the WNBL.

Do you really think they signed a SEABL import instead of a Childress-type for the fun of it?

Childress is already signed in Japan and players of his credentials and skill set are not free agents at this time of the year.

Bowen is their "next stars" selection
Turner is their "waste of an import slot" selection

Trey - the rules are that teams can have:

- up to 3 restricted players (imports); plus
- one player under the Next Stars program (basically young NBA prospects who want a year of pro basketball before trying for the draft); plus
- one Asian player (subject to NBL approval - focused on players from countries with a large potential TV audience).

For Sydney, Bowen is their Next Stars player. The other 3 you named above are their 3 imports. They have no Asian rule player this season (last season they had an Indian player under the Asian rule).

Bowen is not an import. He is a "developement type" signing, that does not count as an import

Where in the world is David Wear

Nice work Jack Flog. Every time you call a Wildcats loss we win. Keep up the good work pal.

Sydney look tired, but have the 2 week fiba break before playoffs, which their old legs will no doubt appreciate. Perth haven't played over 50% effort for a couple of months, and have an injury to motivate them now. I had this down as a schedule loss for Perth, the heavy mins for cotton and kay, on top of the norton injury, happily surprised. Terrico the x factor for Perth, him and steindl hitting shots means perth actually has floor spacing!!!

Where

Wore

We’ar

Wear

Perth played the long con. Let Ware have a good game in Perth when his career was on the line.

Sydney believe the hype and keep him.

Now they are screwed for the playoffs coz Ware is useless.

I don't know about fan base taking it all, the kings supporters I know have been complaining since the organisation came in and promised finals. Not sure what a supporter is supposed to do.

playoffs streak is over

Bogut seems too be sulking more than normal the last couple of games?

I don’t know about fan base taking it all, the kings supporters I know have been complaining since the organisation came in and promised finals. Not sure what a supporter is supposed to do.

its not random
the coach is shit
gm is weak
team has no heart and is cooked
front office is cheap
playoffs streak is over
fanbase is pathetic for accepting it all

Where's Perthworld at?

These things make wonder whether Sydney have the game and the legs to win a 3 game semi final series against Perth, Melbourne or Adelaide?

Perth will not win the title without Norton, and he's done for the season

Perth hot favourites for the title. Theirs to lose TBH.

Exciting first quarter, but Kings looked out of it after that

If Turner and Deng make you happy you’re in for a lot hurt. Newley plus minus is always respectable, should play 35 minutes even if his offence has gone off. Bogut, the same, Lisch as well. Randle doesn’t seem to happy but is a scorer, after that try fill the holes on game to game rotation.
If the above fire all together kings still a chance but don’t think they can win back to back games in semi final situations.

Oh and Bowen... Christ. Consistently loses his mean in the weakside and gave up 4 open threes to Steindl and Wagstaff tonight, at least.

Turner and Deng the only Kings who showed any hustle tonight. Two terrible home performances in a row, and I'm now wondering if missing the playoffs is worth it just to say goodbye to JvG and Gaze.

*YAWN*

Ray Turner with his patented Bulldozer play= no call

Someone please shoot this game and put it out of its misery

There is still time! Ray Turner has got this!

Cats left the door open and the Kings were just like "Hell no. We're not remotely interested."

FW

No one seems to care.

Caffeinated, you will now have more energy than there is evident in the game.

That whole 3rd quarter was junk from both teams.

Perth reminding us how they gave up all those leads...

Why did we sign a third import?I’ve been saying for weeks that we shouldn’t get one.

Turner another JVG great addition, they went to Pineau ahead of him, Turner gets on a minute to go end third and no surprise turn it straight over, look at all the stats before you employ players. The sooner JVG goes the better the kings will be, spent millions over three seasons and without Bogut this season wouldn’t make finals. Bogut might be the saviour still but probably next season after a clean out.

Tempted to leave the arena at the 3rd Q break. What a depressing performance.

That has to be the 3 worst consecutive possessions!!

Is Matt Russell retarded??? "Umpire says it was your own man, well that suggests otherwise" Yeah because Bogut would go up and block his teammates dunk attempt wouldn't he you idiot.

NBL is just amateur

8 points, 9 rebounds, 7 assists for Kay so far, could snag a triple double

Kings = deflated

Stupid autocowreck.

Hinge= deflated.

Above

Almost everyone here writes “of” Perth. They’re a love ‘em or hate ‘em thing.

Your other predictions may well be proven correct.

Anyone who wrote of Perth are idiots, lol Williams. They are well coached have great assistant coaches. They get home court advantage and they will be champions.
Kay and Brandt going at Bogut was very clever, Bogut in foul trouble and kings gone.

Rocks a good beard.

He’s also doing ok without a follicular critique.

Norton was calf not Achilles is it?

Usetahoop, can you please critique Jervis’ haircut too? He needs a boost.

What a drubbing

No Bogut no kings.
