Time to bench Ware.

@ K4l
All season everyone saying kings got four imports. Lol.

Kings can't win with 1 import in Tate - so call it quits.

.... will weaver...…..with the stitches...… .still mending...
... 'neath a heart shaped tattoo....
..proposed marriage to casper ware, who accepted...

I reckon he'll be back, looks like he likes Australia, but this series may haunt him. No way Illawara could afford him, Adelaide could have been interesting but club going with Randle rehabbing. Don't know why they would have Randle as off court employee as reported unless he has major dirt on club which is likely. And can't see Brisbane signing him to be 3rd string behind Sobey and Cadee at the point. New Zealand maybe?
So reckon he'll be back at Sydney, still had a good year but terrible finals. Then again he could go nuts in last 2 games if it goes that way and becomes an unlikely hero, maybe league will institute a most improved or comeback player of finals series!

As a Perth fan I'm far more scared of Lisch as primary ball handler and Bogut playing as point centre with his elite passing than try and play Ware into form, sorry but it's like Weaver has forgotten how terrific the other players in his squad are!

Will Casper be back next seasons? Absolutely I think Illawarra, Adelaide or Brisbane would be hard at him. I'd like to see him play for the Hawks.

Is there any chance Ware comes back next season after this disastrous shooting? He is something like 5-47 for 3pt in the finals series again United and Wildcats. Weaver needs to bench him and make him earn his minutes.

Yes, he looked a bit stiff, while plumlee was fighting fit...

Yes Bogut looked like he needed the Zimmer frame back. Didn’t look fit at all.

Bogut definitely looked gimpy compared to games 1 and 2. He looked more like he did against United, which is how he's looked this entire season.

As I said I missed 1st half yesterday, Bogut started great in game 2 and there were a couple of flashes in 2nd half. Did Perth do anything different against him yesterday, Plumlee can't guard him off the dribble. Or was Bogut sore again?
Maybe they should run Bogut more of a point centre, plenty of dribble handoffs and if Plumlee comes too far out take him off dribble then kick to shooters (but not Ware). Would probably say he's their best passer with Lisch and imo difference in GM 2 getting them off to fast start.
Start Lisch, Louzada, Bogut, Tate and Newley. Who knows, might get Casper going against second unit.

Play didi in the two and lisch at the point when Ware sits, get Moller in at the three and let him help on defence, his speed and length is exceptional. Bruce and cook I haven’t been sold on yet, liimit there time and more of lisch, Newley, Moller, didi, keep Ware going around his thirty minutes. Bogut looked sore again yesterday but if healthy more minutes and less Kickett. All to late I’d suggest as Perth are not letting this slip again.

It's generally not the main defender on Cotton that he's scoring on, most of the time when he's shooting off the dribble it's over the defender of the screener. Cotton is not even the problem. If he scores 30, 40 etc. it's fine, you have to make sure that you don't let the other guys get going because that's when Perth is actually dangerous. Kay had a career night and it stemmed from wide open looks on the perimeter. That was the issue last night.

Ware is a good defender, and that part of his game hasn't dropped off which is nice, but I think they should look at a Lisch-Didi 1/2 lineup for game 4, if it happens.

Why isn't Louzada getting more court time, he's played better against Wildcats than Ware who has had what one good quarter all season against us.

Showing confidence in the young gun also shows NBA what he can do in big moments and he has gotten so much less opportunity since Cooks arrived and I'd see what he's made of.

Bruce has had a fantastic series and he's got to be worth more trust from coach and players.

Lisch is an all time great and it's so great to see him proving his worth once again.

While Ware hasn’t had the best year and his chest pumping does annoy me he’s not the total blame for team performance. As Gaze said Cotton is better than players in the nba. A few years of this continued performance and he’s one of the greatest.

More chance of me hitting 40 in game 4 than Ware doing it. He is in a hole.

Having marking Cotton is stupid, the coach has got be put under the microscope now, he’s been worked out .

Never stepped up in finals

just a small compilation of biased refereeing towards the lakers this season.

The most protected franchise in NBA history keeps on staying protected. This is outrageous and has to stop.
