Brisbane v Sydney Nov 8

Sydney's lost one game and that was with Didi sitting the 2nd half and a fresh-off-the-plane Taylor

Newley keeps playing like that and it'll get very difficult for the rest of the league

Oh and FYI you can't stat 1 percenters, they're not a real thing.

My son was certainly excellent today, doing a lot of those made up things at crucial moments.

Has anyone noticed that when Sobey drives to the basket he screams like a little BITCH.I'm sure the refs have picked up on this as he's been doing this for a while.

"Kings will have a 6-6 record in a few weeks time"

To be fair, 7-5 still a possibility. #hottake

This blonde ref is way out of her depth.

Bonehead Hodgson strikes again. Fouls out yet again with 6 minutes left in the game. Well done lad.

Yes Rosen, Everyone is so great, we all are in love!
What a joke commentator!
I’d rather be locked in a room watching Tommy eating chocolate in the MG add, than listen to Rosen.

The Rubber Bullets - sounds legit out of the barrel, but fail to penetrate on impact.

Still a Q to go, but that was solid from Sydney, really ramped up the D.

Ben Hodgson did the same playing for Adelaide. It's on the Bullets for recruiting him.

Anon tell us more about the Kings.

Tie game, let's go Violet Crumbles!

I love all the hoops hot takes after a single half of ball.

"if they hold us...."

Weaver blames the refs for everything.

Nah, if the slide continues Will Wheaton will just intimidate everybody with another potential hulk smash to get all of the calls.

I'll hold that against you if it doesn't happen, anonymous poster.

Kevin Martin looks like he could suit up and drop 30 in this 2nd half.

"Kings are struggling now after holding an unbeaten record since Iceman lost his cool in NZ."

Can someone translate to English please?

I'm guessing Bogut is on a minutes restriction? Bullets killing us inside when he's off, and shooting the shit out of it to boot.

Kings are struggling now after holding an unbeaten record since Iceman lost his cool in NZ.

38-28. Game over.

You can leave Bogut open all night. Can’t shoot. Can’t drive to hoop. Rarely rebounds. No threat. Bullets looking good so far. Kings taking average shots at best

"let’s hope Weaver keeps his composer"

He's got Boghoven composing, so should be okay.

Do you feel the Buzz man?

Good read from The Score about Memphis' approach to game music:

Beacuse Baker isn’t responsible for playing entire songs, usually just short, instrumental intros, he has the freedom to mess around with his song choices. “It’s fun the way you can incorporate songs when you’re just using the beats,” relates Potter. “Like, you can play ‘Whoop That Trick,’ from ‘Hustle and Flow.’ We probably couldn’t play that during a timeout.” Black elaborates: “We edit a lot of the songs to be conducive with the crowd. Say if a song has a good build but it takes too long for what we need, we will edit it so that it hits right where we need it to for the games.”

Speaking of “Whoop That Trick,” which Memphis Flyer writer Chris Herrington calls “sort of a Memphis shibboleth” thanks to its connection to the Memphis-set “Hustle” and to Memphis rapper Al Kapone, it’s a priority for the entire Grizzlies music team to keep things local. The guys cite local rappers like Kapone, Three 6 Mafia, and Teflon Don as FedEx musts, as well as older stuff like legendary Stax house band Booker T. and the M.G.’s. ”If you foul out in Memphis, you won’t hear ‘Hit the Road Jack,’” testifies Baker. “Instead you get Yo Gotti’s ‘Shawty You Disqualified!’ All straight up Memphisness.”
