Kings v Snakes Jan 11

Unlike LV, I haven't analysed the whole season schedule in detail, ...
but it always seems a little unfair when a team that has already played, then has to travel and play a 2nd game in as many days, against a fresh team.

That said, this result again shows why Cairns will embarrass a lot of teams on their way to the finals, but have a poor shot at taking out a series.
Cairns have no depth, Jawai can nolonger backup, and Kelly seems to have no choice other than to flog his starters.

Cairns still a good shot at playoffs.
Melbourne appear to be handing their spot to the highest bidder perhaps Adelaide.

Kings looked like they always had the game in hand, Casper won the guard battle. Bogut defensively is a genius, watched his game closely, just knows where to be instantly. Cairns have no bench and the last 45 seconds against kings DP and bottom bench players flattered cairns with their 8 nil run.

Turned off but in first half they said Bogut one of best passing 5s in world which I would agree with.

Love the way the commentators go on and on about us having 18 turnovers. Sure, that's way too many, but they completely fail to mention the 14 from the Kings.

Kings outplayed us. End of story.

Louzada right up there as the dumbest player in the league. Defensive breakdowns galore and no clue how to play in a structured offense.

Great game though. Cairns play so well together and these two are so well matched. Kickert winding the clock back!

We don't need a link dipshit brother.

I’ve heard it all now. Commentators saying Bogut has the best pass in the world. Wow! Who’s the female commentator?

Wow, Screen with the "you need .9 on the clock to get a shot off, has to be a dunk surely" expert commentary.

Cairns really are on a roll, but don’t have much on the bench. Can they still ride the bubble?

Still doesn't explain the drastic odds movement unless Didi is rated that highly which I doubt. He's no Moller.

Lisch not back until Feb as well I've heard - hopefully not the case. Didi back helps and hopefully moves Cooks to the bench where I think he is better suited also.

UseTaHoop, sorry, I forgot about the good old humidity

Moller is injured.
Sydney by 8.

Should be a close one. Cairns still the in-form team of the comp, but still a bit shaky in the clutch. Kings sputtering a little with the injuries and Weaver struggling to get his rotations right.

Can’t wait. Kings by 3. Bogut to shut all haters up and double, double.

Gotta mow early morning due to heat and humidity here.

Kings need a heart transplant. Stat.

Cairns for an upset while the shrinking violets crumble.
( Bogut no shrinking violet though)

Kings odds have dropped by nearly half. Moller only back in February. What is going on?

Fact: Has never coached before or been an assistant coach

Fact: Has been out of the game for over 4 years as a player

Fact: Has not coached at any level during that time

Fact: why would players want to play for a guy who has never coached

Myth: Because he was a goos player he will be a good coach

Myth: More fans will come to the game if he coaches

Myth: More sponsors will get on board if he coaches

Fact: Need to be entertaining and win more than you lose. at least get into the finals for people to consistantly involved and for sponsors to get on board

Maher has been a great player but he is nt a coach and has never coached.

If you were having a heart operation, would you want a surgeon who has had success withe operation or would you want a persona who has never performed heart surgery?

I think coaching our team is the same.

The Crows would never appoint someone who has never coached, but we are going to. Please dont!

Lets just deal in facts - not emotional choices - that is how a truly professional team should operate.
