Kings v Cairns Dec 8

Newbill and Machado best 1/2 punch going around at moment.

Moller is a massive out for the kings, his speed and cover on D, length and hand in the face on shooters, rebounding and hustle are things you don’t get stats for. Anyone who don’t see that only look at offence. Since he’s been out kings D been shit resulting in two losses.

Amazing how Bruce and Moller were thought of strange selections for kings and how much the have meant to the team. Kings still got lots to offer Cook next week in should lighten the load but Gaze saying Moller Longer than expected.

LOL I'm just fine troll, Kings leave the weekend like they entered it - top of the ladder.

Suck shit AngusH

Kings really didn't play too great on either end, and Cairns shot the shit out of the 3. That was really the story of the game. Don't feel nearly as bad about that loss as I do the Wildcats game. Onto the next one, and Lisch hopefully one game closer to match fitness.

Onya, Snakes.

So this should end the polarising opinions of Moller on here.

Great win for Taipans. Take nothing away from them. They shot the ball really well. Over 50% from both field & 3 point range.

Yep Moller out is a huge loss. Coach & players should be able to make the necessary adjustments though.
Let’s see what happens next week

Great win for the Taipans

Yeh Btown you’re right. Great scoring in the last quarter by Ware but let’s call it how it is. He did zero in the other 3 quarters & that was 1 reason along with pathetic defense that cost them the game.

Perth twice, Melbourne twice, Sydney

That’s 5 huge wins, unbelievable

Cairns are for REAL!!!!

Hey George
Moller been out last two games, you can bag him but he closes down shooters.

Commentators Stop raving about Casper Ware. The guy was great in the 4th but missing the first 3 quarters.
Sadly 1 quarter does not make a good player.
Kings need to look at their defensive set up. Last 2 games has been awful. Basketball is offence & Defence

Forde learnt from Gleeson.

Homicide - Shut up

Just think if Ware did something in the first 3 quarters Kings might be up. 4th quarter heroics

Homicide is in the Heal category of rubbish commentating.

Lisch is a passenger

Send Lisch back to the practice court. Another poor shooting display early

Casper 0 points at half time. Kings defense awful again.
Coach needs to get stuck into them at half time break.

Why is Cam Oliver all of a sudden being benched lately? He started out the season looking like a possible MVP and now is getting limited minutes

Kings D gone to pieces. Did Gaze say Moller out long term?, they miss him rotating on shooters as vickerman had him doing in United premiership year. Could be very bad weekend for kings.

Anyone calling the upset yet? Cairns up 11 at quarter time

Sorry Anonymous. 1 of many. Put a name up at least. I’ll try to make it simpler for you next time. Kings by 10+.

Nope, sorry, I got almost none of that.

Jack,

Love the previews & the time you spend putting them together.
I & im sure all of us appreciate them.
Yes there’s a but or however coming...
The last paragraph.
Cairns could win but Sydney will at Home as unbeaten but the run has to broken.
“Splinters” again Jack.
My tip in that case is Sydnet to win easily on the proviso that Cairns don’t win.
Realistically who know.
Kings were awful in Perf.
They should & will bounce back & crush Cairns.
10+

Will the kings defence improve, that’s the key. After good start in Perth by Tate, Kay then battered him and he looked a bit sooky. Hopefully Cook or Moller is available and if so kings should win if not this could be close.

Efficient game vs. Sydney; average game vs. Wollongong. Breakers grab the 2 wins.

Another questionable selection by the NBL?
