Kings v United Dec 26

On current form they wouldn't beat anyone other than Illawarra!

I'm hoping they recapture the form of their 6 game winning streak from earlier in the season.

Might need some luck too. Like Plumlee fouling out by halftime!

That was before Plumlee Paul.

As soon as they signed Plumlee I said they were almost equal favorites with Sydney.

If United wins both games this weekend they'll be back in 4th, depending on their winning margin against Brisbane.

Although this sustained run of bad games makes me wonder what else is going on. It's looking like is not just players who are out of form. Maybe they're disgruntled about something

They'd be second favourites wouldn't they, LV? ;-)


"Money making Mitch is highly over paid, probably had another good +/- game but no help to the team"

Can you explain this one to me? The team does better with him on the court but he is no help to the team?

United is a major disappointment.

The moment they finally had a full team, it all fell to pieces.

It would've really helped their cause if SEM got Cairns too. Not to be.

I went to the game I’ve seen no stats so straight off the bat.
Bogut beat Long so easily and he’s in an A frame. Homicide got no idea on talent, he talks you up your better asking him to shut the f..k up.
I was 70m from vickerman in a noisy stadium and I could hear him yelling about United players not getting back on defence.
Barlow is a shadow of the player he was.
Goulding had a go but looks like got the shits, mainly because he just never seems to get enough ball.
Money making Mitch is highly over paid, probably had another good +/- game but no help to the team
Trimble had ago, even defensively but just isn’t that great.
Kidd again had a go, but he’s no star, works hard and is ok with the right team around him, which United haven’t got.
The rest not much to say but nbl1 is looking good for them.
United will say Ware left because Sydney paid to much money but Trimble wasn’t cheap and Long isn’t an asset. Why did they let Hooley or Moller as well is not unstandable as both were glue guys that played D.

Bogut is a giant of man, clearly playing under duress but so smart.
Kings are so deep and the championship goes through Perth, if Lisch and Moller come back in any sort of form and Casper plays like today there going to give it a shake. Tate find of the season.

Basketball is won by the team that shoots better

The logos on Vickerman’s shirt are so pathetic. Looks like some goofy social sport coach

Sucked on Ili. Deserved the air ball after his cowardly flop

Phantom foul on Barlow

So is Trimble.

Can the Unitards do the Red Army a favour?

Dec 26? Isn't that the day after Scott Ninnis' birthday? ;)

"Dec 26"

I'm glad someone spotted that!

Probably should try win this one and rest Bogut on the trip to Perth, win today and the Perth trip should be insignificant with game against Phoenix and Illawarra to follow, Sydney % should get it done.

I'd be tempted to sit Bogut for this one based on how he looked Friday. Important game for us re: keeping #1 spot, but much more important for United in the context of the season.

Fantastic write up as always. You should be put on a small fee for your great work.

Melbourne’s last stand, need the win, got the talent, can they do it or the internal rumblings getting louder re disunity. Kings need this to possibly confirm the minor premiership even if they lose to Perth next week.

Kings by 3 if Bogut plays.

Great write up as always Jack! : )

Kenny Loggins is playing in the background.

Which is kinda weird for Straya Day.

The real Danger Zone is well south of Sydney now btw. Any fair dinkum Aussie would avoid the drive from Melbourne to Sydney, but you could sip a few soy lattes waiting for your flight.

Well somebody has hit the turps early
