Kings v Phoenix Jan 19

Sydney v Perth grand final.

Very respectful applause and lovely speech by the aboriginal elder before the game. Well done by the league and kings.

I'm happy for you George.

Winner winner chicken dinner

I got off my arse and went to the game. The first thing I noticed was how good the atmosphere and friendliness of the place, lots of families. Kings have done well there.

The match was very good and I think the kings always had it in hand, Phoenix bench is not great and while adnam was very good offensively, he lets himself down at the other end, worked hard but with a lot Phoenix guys they rely on to few defensively. I’m surprised Pineau last out the game, he move on nearly every screen, normally because he there late and still keeps moving into the defender. Other players got pinged for a lot less so he’s probably worked out how to get away with it.

Bogut is a very smart player and watching him live was worth the admission, his ability to read what was happening was fantastic. Louzada is going to be very good in the nba, has great handles in traffic and gets to the rack at will, plays very good tough D as well. Tate also showed a lot talent and his handles around the basket were great.

Finally neither Pineau or Bruce showed to me that they are as good as Magnay for the mip. Creek looks a bit injured but just kept at it, thought he shade Cook.

Good to get an easy win. Still think the Kings shoot way too many 3s and drive looking to dish rather than to finish, but with how the past 6 weeks have gone, I'll take it.

Thought there was the usual array of horrible calls tonight - I'm not sure the refs know what an illegal screen is at this point. Obvious ones go uncalled, questionable ones draw a whistle.

How did you find this game George?

Sydney should hammer SEM.

Lol. George we are just pulling your leg.

Perthworld.yes I saw them all this morning. Numerous staff have spoken to him about being more aggressive offensively. The players too

Did you have a word with Ware during the week? It could be the difference between a win or a loss.

Thanks Perthworld & Angus. I like it.
I shall refrain from negativity the best I can.
I’ll be out there today hopefully not crying in the stands
No excuses today. Injuries whatever. 1st v 8th. Let’s hope my Kings play like the 1st team & not the 8th.
Hopefully no fade out for the Kings today & Ware gets going early.
I wonder if Weaver has made any defensive adjustments? Probably not. Will the players listen to him today? Probably not.
Drive to the hoop early Kings & it could get ugly.
Let’s face it, Phoenix are pretty bad.

Could be a crappy game, both sides spent a lot time flying. Kings got any chance in staying in top spot it’s a must win game.

Kings by 8.

Sydney by 7 or more.
Can't afford to lose or George will completely lose his shit.

Anybody seen these guys play yet?They arrived in town late last week. Prossin Sports is quiet a large US agent who has brought out a team to get players exposure.Catch is the players have to pay there own way and they dont realise that nearly import spots are already filled!!!Playing SEABL and Big V teams over 10 days.
