Wow, Perth might win next sun?

Dont jinx it cats4life

A real pity its curtains for childress. He was fantastic for the NBL and especially for the kings

Bad news for the Kings and the League. Good news for Melbourne who's playoff chances just increased since they still play them twice.

Oh bugger...is that the same shoulder that cleaned Wagstaff up ?

cats4life, jinx it all you can

@ bol bol this year is one of the worst displays I have seen from a Perth outfit, they have the talent. Daniels is playing out of his comfort zone, Martin has scored 0 and not as close as the defender he is. Beal, quiet, needed to step up when needed, redhage gas cost us a few games.

Only bright light for me is Jervis and wagstaff and I wouldn't mind them in the starting line up. Haven't got going at all this season and I don't blame gleeson just don't understand having 4 assistant coaches and not replacing Knight make's me wonder why?

Jack, if u guy's get in I wouldn't mind, rather see a team with a chance to win the whole thing and not to make up the numbers, cats haven't shown so far any thing. A wasted season to have the chance to go back 2 back. Still, if the make the four and Knight and hire are back, I would be confidant they can beat any one.

Ouch, that's not good. Hopefully we see him here next year. Time to cash Childress in on nbl dream team by the looks of it.

cats4life i noticed you changed your handle from 'b2b' recently. Dont tell me your losing the faith in your beloved cats now?

Unfortunate, he was one of the best players in the NBL.

I suppose that if you're looking to replace an import, then there's a lot more to choose from, but with only 6 games to play, what are the chances of getting someone in time to make an impact.

Just being honest dude, I still believe that they will make the finals, I think united won't. I never give up until that buzzer sounds. To have played and the injuries so far and to think they are only 3 games behind top spot shows that if Perth played half as good as last season, they would be on top or there abouts.

Amazing no one bags Perth when they lose, but when they win, the Marvin conspiracy and this year we have no help at all at home with the ref's. We haven't played well but the refs are so anti Perth atm, u expect to get a few you're way, that's why u have HCA.

With only 6 games left it's not worth replacing him .Unlikely they would have made playoffs anyway

Realistically the Kings can't make the playoffs now so why not elevate one of the developmet players to the squad for the rest of the season?

Realistically Childress deserved to be on a better team than what the Kings have had this year.

I think they have to replace him just to keep competing, which is a must for sponsors and fans. With their best player and starting centre out and not replaced we could see a few repeats of last Sunday.

If they want to spend good money on a new import that would be good for them, otherwise they should just put Montreal into the team. Not sure how far off Montreal is from naturalising but if it wasn't far away then the investment could pay off now.

They should try snare another big name even if it is a short stint. The sydney market is important for any future tv deal so they need to keep the fickle spectators interested in the game

Bad news for Sydney but could be good for Perth who desperately need a win to stay in finals mix

Shouldnt be hard to get a good one for a couple of months.Lots of good ones around.

Hey anon, you should probably remind us some more that you don't like Perth. Not sure that your message has been coming across lately. I mean, its only been 100 or so posts in the past few days.

Good ole Uwe thinking that Anon is the same person

There hasn't been much difference in the tone or language used in a number of these anon posts in the past few days. I think its a safe bet that a great deal of them have come from the same person.

Why is it that every thread degenerates into a Wildcats bashing session these days?

It means he has less games to earn votes from coaches. As much as he would have been front-runner, I'm not sure his lead would have been so great that he'd be able to hold on to the award.

Because there fan base are arrogant and now have their backs against the wall. Don't worry they've given Adelaide fans plenty on here when we had the mighty mart Clarke leading the charge haha

You do realise they are only giving Madgen stick dude to his attitude and outstanding acting ability... Sydney is neither here nor there for Adelaide fans...

Except people are trying to discuss the scenarios and their form/injury concerns sensibly but you keep coming in with "haha cant wait til the Cats loose there so arrogant lol". You're not impressing anyone.

Is there any such rule that if u are rubbed out for a game or 2 you can't win MVP like the brownlow?

Don't believe so. Centrebet are still listing him as MVP favourite.

Melbourne have the easy run home from here so their destiny is definitely in their hands. Perth are Adelaide's best chance, especially with a game against each other coming up.

Brownlow is Best & Fairest but MVP is most valuable, with no fair play or sportsmanship criterion. So suspension shouldn't affect eligibility.

Is this a joke?
No story/report/news on either Kings' or NBL web sites?

Going up on website now, apparently

Funny in these days of technology how long it takes for these announcements to be made.

What the article didn't mention is Childress injured himself when he went to foul the Sixers player on a drive and made no attempt whatsoever for the ball but went straight for their arm. Wasn't called unsportsmanlike but I thought it was. Potential to dislocate shoulders of either player fouling like that. I never wish to see any player injured but in my opinion it was a low act and he paid the price.

NBL tweets:

Sydney Kings import forward Josh Childress will miss the remainder of the 2014/15 NBL season

Picture on NBL says it all...

Oh yes, fouling a player on his way to the basket, what a low act. You never see that happen in a game of basketball.
You're so right "Needsalife" Childress thoroughly deserves a potentially career ending injury for that.

Needsadrink, perhaps you don't need anymore to drink.
