Cats v Kings Feb 1

What even is this conversation

TTFN

"4.2.1 Each team shall consist of:
• No more than 12 team members entitled to play, including a captain.
• A head coach.
• A maximum of 8 accompanying delegation members, including a maximum of 2
assistant coaches who may sit on the team bench. In case a team has assistant
coaches, the first assistant coach shall be entered on the scoresheet."

Vs Kobe own rulez.
4.2.1 Each team shall consist of:
• No more than 12 team members entitled to play, including a captain.
• A coach and, if a team wishes, an assistant coach.
• A maximum of 7 accompanying delegation members who may sit on the team
bench and have special responsibilities, e.g. manager, doctor, physiotherapist,
statistician, interpreter, etc.

THis must also be in conjunction with the Bench rule whay Kobe keeps ignoring.

16 seats on the bench area. IE the FRONT FFS.

12 players 5 on the court at anyone time

1 Head coach

3 or 4 asst coaches.

Where is your 21 rule published? Yet to see that.

He is not allowed to sit on the frontbench idiot. I don't give a shit where else he sits. Get it?

Isn’t Prather the towel waver, over paid one at that.

Who gives a rats arse where he sits.

If you think that's the rule that says you inactive players can't sit on the bench, you're dumber than I thought.

Also I've re-read this entire conversation and no, the rule you're talking about hasn't been cited.

It's a rule, that's all. If you sit on the bench you have to be on the score sheet.
it's amazing that no one knows this rule. it's been around forever

"12 players, 16 spots. Its not that difficult to figure it out."

How often are all 12 players seated at the same time?

Maybe we know it, but just don't care

I think this discussion on the number of seats on the bench should be in its own thread

FIBA allows 12 players, two coaches, and seven others. That's 21.

Where did 16 come from?

One thing for certain is that Gleeson doesn’t sit on the bench, he’s to busy being the fourth ref.

Because you can only have 12 players on the bench. Only people listed on the score sheet.

Bogut is so selfish. He knew they were no chance of winning in perth and didn't want to be part of a thumping loss. As it turned out they got a lot closer than if bogut would have played because they didn't sook

I don't even understand his point, he's annoyed the Wildcats jersey makes references to things like the Wildcats championships, finals streak, travel, big crowds, history?

Aboriginal art is about telling stories and history through symbols. I personally really like the story behind the uniform design and its symbolism.

What an idiot.

His tweet is offensive in so many ways. Even if he thought that, he had a choice, say nothing because why undermine indigenous round in any way, or do what he did. That fact that he chose the latter reflects poorly on him and his organisation and unfortunately diminishes the great efforts of the NBL to introduce an indigenous round.

Reminds me of that saying “better to stay silent and be thought a fool rather than open your mouth and remove all doubt”

Hopefully his problem is just a few too many beverages combined with being in a bad mood after losing, because if it's anything more it's kinda sad and also kinda worrying.

What is his problem?

You can think/believe your Sydney Kings 'do' reconciliation well o r even better than others but invalidating other people's efforts at the same is just shameful.

I wish he'd watch Gleeson on the sidelines and draw inspiration from how he carries on. Sickening.

"Paul Smith putting in a very strong bid for the biggest sook award, chucking another wobbly on twitter, this time because the Wildcats' indigenous basketball jersey incorporates some elements that relate to the Wildcats basketball club.

Strange man."

LMAO WTF. Just checked out his Twitter. Honestly has to be up there with the dumbest things I've seen on Twitter, and that's saying something. What an embarrassment. How is someone that stupid so wealthy and in charge of a basketball organisation.

Strange man.

Casper Ware just flops and flails at each time he hits a screen and the refs fall for it.

It's sickening.

Joey Wright....if the off season please find someone who can draw calls like this as well.

I know kings went small, but Plumlee needed more minutes. Kings shat their pants driving to the basket with him out their. I reckon they only scored a handful of points from the key when he was on. He bas the mobility to get out to guys like Kickert and tate when kings go small too.

Best jungle atmosphere for a long time - thanks largely to Tate. Good on him.

How did Taylor play for the Kings?

Hopefully the Taipans knock them out for us in the finals.

Lisch injured again? Only played 9 mins

You're right, Newley should be suspended 3 years for that horrific foul. Lucky Cotton didn't explode into a thousand pieces.

Good game, closer than expected. Wildcats shot the lights out, etc.

Gleeson too busy refereeing, forgot to sub him in

Gleeson really hates his bigs. Plumlee barely seen the court.

Home cooking order is now in.

BS illegal screen call there

Bogut banged up. Didi with a minor niggle last game also. Mostly I think the Kings were OK conceeding this one given the ladder

Tate is such a flog

The one thing worse than Dickicide commentating one game is him being in the hub so that he can commentate two games.

Mute button again, sigh.

I’m calling this a comfortable win for Perth, dammit. Sydney struggle under this kind of pressure, and their lack of resilience is showing.

Lisch will start tonight

Terico cleared to play at 2:35

Might make Sydney feel more at home if there is a bit of purple and yellow in the crowd with people wearing kobe jerseys

***Hoops Exclusive*** Fitness test for Terrico will occur at 3pm before teams have to be declared. Wildcats are confident that Terrico will play but might come off the bench. Doctors call as to whether he plays, Gleeson to advise if we comes off the bench.

Is there an update on Whites status?

Kings lost to the Hawks a few weeks ago. It can happen. It's not likely they lose to SEM AND Illawarra though.

I also think the Brisbane-Perth game will mean a lot more to Brisbane than the 3/4 court shot chance for Perth to take #1 seed.

More than luck. Maybe tragedy of some sort, like Tate & Ware both getting injured, because I don't see how else they could possibly lose to the Hawks.

..and Perth have Brisbane and Adelaide.

So yes, it's possible, especially if Perth win tonight, but it's still going to take some luck.

I believe it's still up for grabs, however Kings have SEM and Illawarra left after tonight, so Kings would need to drop both of those, while Perth win 3 in a row including tonight, because a tie would go to Sydney right now on percentage.
