The whole finale was a shitshow. If roles were reversed perthworld, you'd be having a fit. NBL fucked up big time.

No, as the Wildcats would not have given up being 2-1 down like the Kings did, who weaseled their way out of the series by declining all options presented to them. They gambled on it being declared void and lost. Smith thought he was smart playing the system but instead was exposed as being devious and dumb.

NBL handled it excellently given the circumstances. Well done LK.

Not all Sydney but 99.9% of Perth supporters fit the bracket of mouth breathers.

Lot of absolute mouth breathers on here that have no concept of society beyond a basketball forum

Nope. Kings were offered to play best-of-3 and declined because they didn't want an away elimination game. Offered to speed up Game 4 and said they wanted more rest.

I believe the persons to blame for NZ not making the playoffs are 1) Jordan Ngatai and 2) Dan Shamir for giving him court time at the end of that game.

A lower scoring game is worth more in terms of percentage than a higher scoring game. Breakers need to stop citing that.

If we go over the same set of facts enough times, the outcome will eventually be quite different.¹

If anyone was robbed it was the Breakers.

Game gets canned and they could have increase their %. Melbourne slides into finals like Steven Bradbury as a result.

if the Breakers got into the top 4 they could have won it just as easily as the others

I think they should have got it for being the bigger team and putting health first. They were clearly the better team throughout the season

Deserves has nothing at all to do with it. Perth were ahead in the series, therefore they got the biscuits. End of.

Not at all happy about it, but it is the right decision.

If the Kings were robbed, it was themselvesthat did the robbing by not taking up the options listed by the NBL.

The NBL offered then Games 4 and 5 in Sydney and the Wildcats even agreed.

What more concessions (reasonable ones) could the leagu e have offered Sydney?

It was a No when they bailed on the series when they were losing.

It was a No 4 days ago when the NBL made the correct decision.

It was an even bigger NO when the whole story came out out about the Kings not wanting to alter the series.

Move on with your life.

Hindsight is actually starting to show kings probably made the right decision. Could they have won it, maybe, maybe not but we will never no.

Thats my team to look out for next season, and the match up I'm looking forward to is Louisville vs Minnesota. That'd be sick!!
