Perth v Sydney Feb 10

"When everyone is talking about one player, it was easy picking Cotton as this round's Player of the Week." - Boti

Wow!

D2 it was mentioned by Rat10 (https://www.hoops.com.au/forum/44793-perth-v-sydney-feb-10/#p733563) during the game. Shocking move.

@ LB; Gaze I'm sure. It wasn't clear on the broadcast that that was what happened, so I was wondering why Randle took that shot with so much time left on the clock.

Did you seriously refer to White’s desperation heave as “folding under pressure”?

Can't see it discussed here?
What moron from Sydney made the decision to advance the ball after that last timeout in the 4th?

Made no difference in the end, but if White didn't fold under pressure, they could have snatched the game in regular time.

Unreal humour, lovebroker. Always the same stuff. Haven't worked out whether you're trying to be funny or caustic. It comes across as the latter

I was so angry after this game because I put $20k on the Kings

Gaze has done really well at deferring to Bogut this year, to be fair.

"Gaze has done very well."

At what?

I was so angry after this game because I put $20k on the Kings

Gleeson is so far on the court at times I thought he was a player, all coaches do it, and Gaze has done very well. Tall poppy syndrome in Australia is live and well.

"Why is Gaze allowed on the court to coach and why is he given a warning instead of an immediate tech like Gleeson was given?"


He's not. He may be on the court but nothing he does resembles coaching

Yes they did argue. Gaze wanted to know why Bogut subbed himself out. He certainly didn’t seem annoyed to be dragged.

I'm pretty sure Bogut subbed himself out with a minute to go.

Gleeson got a warning.

@ anon; was that the headknock on Brandt? Not sure that was a flop.

Kings have no choice but to try Newley at the 2 because Adnam-Randle just doesn't work. There are too many quality 2 guards in this league, and watching Randle or Adnam try to man up on anyone over 6'0 is painful. They both put in effort, but they just don't have the length to challenge shooters and we keep getting burnt off it.

He needs to come up with a rotation that ensures Adnam is only ever on the court with Lisch or Newley, but probably won't make any adjustments.

I wonder if AngusH found Bogut’s flop funny today too

After Lisch and Randle, Adnam is there next best guard so he has to play as Lisch and Randle can’t play forty minutes. No other guard on Sydney team up to it. Maybe Newley could play a bit two with Bowen in the three.

I’m pretty sure Bogut subbed himself out with a minute to go.

Why does adnam even get on. He'd have the worst plus minus this season out of the whole league surely

*team

I love it when cotton gets fired up he usually directs it towards the commentary tea. The lip reading was extra special today

Great game, agree with poor subs from Gaze but I don't think they lost any fans today, they will be tremendous fun to watch for the rest of the season and good luck to anyone beating them.

Kay had a quieter game so for the Wildcats to still win is great signs.

As great as this game was, I couldn't take my eyes off Homicide and Redhage doing commentary, they were visually bloody funny as Cotton was going off... can't wait to hear the banter on commentary

^^^^
English please

Yea lv 1 foul in the 4th quarter for the Kings home cooking going 5 star! Don't hear you know.

What a fantastic game and so amazing witnessing randle and cotton going at it in last quarter. Sydney just faded late possibly due to backing up after a game and travel. But impressive performance from both teams. Impossible to pick championship favourites

Wildcats were 1/19 from 3 at one point, if my memory isn't letting me down? Crazy comeback.

Those fans in Perth have been treated to so many super close games with Sydney and United this season

Those 3 have played each other really closely this season

Two things

1) I’ve just watched two best games back to back.
2) Perth very hard to beat in Perth.

Oh well, entertaining game and the Kings still seem to be trending the right direction.

Hell of a 4th/OT from Cotton too.

Gaze brings Bogut off as well. As great as Cotton has been, Gaze has just sunk the Kings tonight with his piss poor subs.

This is my house baw

Haters will say it's because Randle is injured.

But hats off to that little grasshopper from Perth

Speaking of limp... awful decision making by Kickert.

Stupid decision to have Adnam out there at all, even with Lisch off.

UTA at least the Kings have turned up both times at PA. Unlike most teams who come here with limp dicks.

Kickert had a good opportunity for another player impersonation on the Cotton foul there.

Was terrico fouled? He sure asked for it

'Ownership and even the fans don't seem to mind. Taking it willingly straight down their throats.'

Plot twist - I'm actually an ex Perth member

Tactical error by the Kings advancing the ball that could have hurt them.

If Sydney can’t win in OT, how are they supposed to tackle a 3 game semi final series?

Sheesh. Really poor by the Kings there. Should've dribbled 4 more seconds off the clock and just did the 1-5 pick that everyone was expecting.

Love these playoff previews today.

77-77 so it's OT!

Ughh White is such a chucker

You'd think only going with 2 imports you'd want both to be guns

or his three ball right about now.

Damos floater is strait fire rite now

Feels like I've never seen Martin miss a floater.

Wow seems like only Cotton gets the call when he sticks his leg out on the three. I hate that call but if you set the precedent that has to be a foul and Randle should have been shooting an extra.

Home cooking to Cotton
