Sydney v Brisbane Feb 3

Turner starting to look good, or is it Brisbane's non-existent defence?

Wont last. Brisbane will still make it.

Kings made a mistake by winning here. They let Adelaide back into the top 4 - a team they struggle with.

Cadee gone.

Never doubted us for even a second. ;p

Probably the best overall game we've played this season with some great individual performances. Still pissed at Gaze's substitutions, in particular the Adnam-Randle lineup that should never be on the floor, and the fact that he just loves subbing Bowen in at the worst times and sticks with him way too long.

Another real solid Turner performance too.

As for the Bullets, Bairstow, Kendle, and Patterson the only guys who showed up tonight. Patterson tried to do it himself late but if anything he should've started about two quarters sooner. Easily Kendle's best performance since earning a full contract (not that that's saying a whole lot).

Gliddon, Cadee, Te Rangi all MIA. Don't know how much coin Brisbane threw at Gliddon and to a lesser degree Cadee, but I'd imagine there's a fair correlation between Bullets losses and those guys being invisible. Far too inconsistent.

He's loquacious but also verbose.

Haha, yes indeed I know you do, Lovey. However we Buzzas will have the final chortle

I thoroughly enjoy seeing the Buzza Train, and in particular it's sole inhabitant, burn.

You mean he’s wordy but vacuous?

Well you need to be laconic as a commentator. Laconic but also talkative. However his balance between the two is way off

“Manu Fieldel
Today

I think Matt Russell has wrongly used the word laconic his entire broadcasting career”

Russell has a laconic attitude to his job.

Buzzas will be fine

Haha, Jesus. Anyone wanna try defend that Te Rangi blocking foul that should've been called unsportsmanlike?

Bullet trains here seem to run entirely differently to their Japanese counterparts.

Randall, Lisch have all the answers heading into Q4. Hard to see Brisbane getting back into it. Taken Brisbane's time away on the 3. Rushed and no shoots well if they don't have time.

Typical Vain Mawberry:
Hodgson is fouled, kickert makes contact after the whistle, Mawberry talks to Hodgson??

Lamar Patterson?

Prefer Gibson over Cadee. Point less playing him if he is not shooting and hitting. And probably Kendall ahead of all of them. Because he is looking to create and score. Otherwise all pressure on Lamar Jackson.

Brisbane have found Sydney too good so far. Only saving grace is that Sydney can't seem to stop Brisbane either.
Got get some stops!

Does the Bullet Train not operate on Sundays or something?

*Vukona

Okay warned by May-berry. For being fouled?

Is Ray Turner the real deal?

Commentators have also made a massive deal about Bogut and other ex-NBA players playing NBL this season. Usually as in ”Bogut played against X in the NBA.” All good, but...

How many times did Bogut ever appear on an NBA court at the same time as Boone, Bairstow etc, let alone in an individual matchup?

Cadee showing his defensive quality early, if he tries really hard he may get within arms reach of Randle.

That should've been an unsportsmanlike foul by Davis on Adnam

Even the commentators are joking about Sydney’s weakness at the 4, naming the 2 players.

Hard to be optimistic as a Kings fan for this one. I'm hoping we string together two games in a round for the first time in forever, but more than likely the Bullets finally pick up a W against us and disappoint the home crowd 3 games consecutively.

Most of that KY was 'used' up by Sydney when they lost to Perth at home by 20.

Happy to have had a bet on the Bullets @2.35. Bullets by 1.

Was Liz's dunk the first at the Olympics for women?
