Rosen's picking up on a lot of irony tonight...

Your captain makes 8 3s your going to be hard to beat! Great so far out 90 to 79!

100-87. Forman 26, Clarke 24, Tiggs 19, Martin 18. Young 27, Madgen 17, Garlepp 16 for Sydney.

Kings were just terrible tonight and the Hawks torched them, especially outside.

Kings had the pieces this year but Heal was unable to work out how they fit together.

You really have to ask how a guy as big as AJ can avoid the ball so effectively for an entire game. Just the one rebound from the guy many tipped as a likely MVP. A truly Ben Allen-esque performance.

Forman and Clarke a combined 15/26 from 3!

Scary thing is that both those players are such good shooters that they are more than capable of having two big shooting games in a three game semi final series and getting two wins to go through to the GF.

Seriously.

Oscar Forman.

If i could find a uterus I would have his babies, in a heartbeat.

In.
A.
Heartbeat.


I've said too much.......

Just a moderately creepy post.

King Podge...have another bourbon. I always thought he would have been more liked if it was Oscar Foreskin but that's just me

Geordie McLeod must win Coach of the Year. It is phenomenal what he has managed to construct with the league's smallest budget, following the retirement of Saville.

Rotnei Clarke and Oscar Forman were nothing short of inspirational. The Kings... Not so much, unfortunately.

The amount of open shots Wollongong got tonight was incredible. Would've been very interesting if Forman or Clarke missed just two or three of those looks.

And Tiggs made all three of his threes, so it was quite a lucky night for Wollongong in some respects. But of course, you create your own luck.

Yeah nah good one Dale......

I have a hankering for some choc honeycomb

Major Hater of the Kings offensive structure all season. Nothing inside for (lets be honest) the best big guy in the competition, and all jump shots and isolations.

Yes Anon 812, Rosen as a commentator has been as much a success as Heal's offence this season.

Disappointing really since I initially thought his enthusiasm was a pleasant change from Carfino's bored drivel but his incessant chatter and Kings cheerleading got very annoying very quickly.

Statsheet, with all those open looks, they could well have hit more too. Watching, I don't expect those two to miss any.

They broke the NBL record for threes made in a 40 minute game. Shortly after half time, I think they'd attempted 25 threes out of 44 from the field. Why not with that roster. Coenraad, Demos and Martin have been 40%+ from three in the past too.

Foreman was a monster and I loved the treatment of him by the Gong crowd. A God Monster!

Was a very entertaining game but very clear Wollongong are simply a better team than Sydney and deserve fourth spot. A nice way for it to be decided in front of the Gong crowd too, hopefully that and a final or two give a nice boost to their coffers.

Thank God the Kings are out of the running. We could only get 1 out 4 wins against them, so its a welcome result that we can't compete against them in the grand final (assuming we get there). However Wollongong must have the split over Sydney because both teams can potentially end the regular season with an equal number of wins and losses.

Good to see a crowd of 4.5k at game, as we have seen crowds under 2K there this season. Support your team hawks each week, we should be seeing these crowds every week.

If Brad Rosen does commentary on playoff games then I'm thinking about a drinking game for each time he mentions Sydney
