Blanchfield must be averaging 2 awful turnovers in the backcourt a game this season.

Humpries being rewarded for playing good by having Singh start ahead of him

Humphries picking up 2 fouls in 4 nanoseconds is probably why Singh started.

Someone needs to stop the s#!t dribbling out of corey's mouth.

Tyler looked really slow and out of it in that last 90sec

He definitely did, but I guess jetlag will do that to you.

What's the deal with Kendle still being here and the commentators betting on him being there for the rest of the season?
Is he a naturalised Australian?

More cheese in the commentary than in the HJs burgers.

Nobody said he was an import.

Singh has real good touch. Shame this experiment didn't begin when he was 19-20 years old.

Sydneys imports are kendle tyler and randle. Keep seeing why is kendle here?

Homocide isn't commentating but merely making statement after tryhard bold statement. Argh.

Actually Sydney's imports are Ellis, Kendle & Tyler and when Randle arrives next week Kendle will be released.

Sydneys imports are kendle tyler and randle. Keep seeing why is kendle here?You're forgetting Perry Ellis.
Kendle is still here because Randle isn't yet.

Not sure how Randle and Lisch can co-exsist but we'll see


Ball dominante SG. Randle is also ball dominante player

Homicide is a joke. Russell is a horrendous play by play caller. Heal shouldn't even be there. This is by far the worst commentary combo possible. The mute button is your friend.

Lisch will have to become a catch and shoot type player

Boone on 3 fouls. Hmicide just made an insightful comment re this

He did fine as SG alongside D Mart in Perth winning MVP. Randle isn't that bad of a hog... except in the playoffs lol.

Heal shouldn't even be there.
He is downright awful. Yet Rucker gets dumped. What a joke.

When Homicide does actually make a point rather than just a headline statement it's way better than any of Heal's.

I just assumed that because Randle is now on Sydney's books, Kendle would leave regardless of whether Randle took the court

Good point. Maybe he officially signs after this game?

Getting sick of Homicide's player rankings. Will he ever shut up about who gets the honour of being in his top 3.
His never ending statements are also enough. Its not like any of them are actually interesting. They're statements that most people would be aware of anyway. Just commentate!

Depends on wording of 3 import rule.
Injury replacement provision may indicate that the wording is about players on bench, not under contract.
Kindle may not have picked up his next gig, maybe he gets paid more for playing an extra game or week, or it just looks better for future employment checks regarding his character and attitude.

Love that bit from Heal about the team of introverts.
Randle will arguably be more important for Sydney than he ever was for Adelaide

Not sure what the 'Tommy is a good defender' myth started from. Tommy has always given 100% effort, but he is a tweener on defense and always has been - gets beat off the dribble by wings, and out-muscled by 4s.

Moller should be given a double tech for those shoes.

Blanchfield may not be a natural 4, but all that time at the 4 spot has got him has certainly got him passing the ball like one...

Kings another 4th quarter implosion. Minimal movement. Lacking awareness of where teammates will be. No rotations or help on D. Passes to where the recipient was, not is/is moving to.

I might sound like a broken record, but it's vintage Blanchfield tonight.


that play was a mirror image to Prathers highlight with damian martin last season.

Expected the Kings to go down tonight so no surprises there, but at least Tyler looked OK in short mins with no prep. Need to go 13-6 over the remaining games to probably make the playoffs which is possible although a hell of a mountain to climb all the same in this league.

So Adelaide were 3-6 after 9 games last season and went 14-5 to finish top. So Sydney can make playoffs from here. They have to play 10 of their remaining games against the current top 4 teams and 4 against Cairns (which means 2 of those will be in Cairns). Tough ask.

United really got going there in the second half
Don't write off Sydney though. With United -4 in 3rd and Adelaide, Illawarra and Cairns all 4-5 in 4th-6th, Sydney at 2-7 isn't far off the pace.

"When did Heal start caring about D?"
probably fairly soon after being served the summons.

Bro that was the funniest shit I've seen on this forum in a long time

Kings looking much better, Randle could make a huge difference. Singh looked good and is at least 2 inches taller than Humphries, Humphries don't look 7 foot to me. Blanchfield at the two was much better, Tyler will be good, don't rule Kings out just yet.

Was at the game last night.
A couple of things -
Havnt seen the replay but it looked like Homicide was chewing Heals ear off about something?
Gaze went with Singh far too long into the second half. He a couple of nice things but gave them away plus more in being murdered on the pick and roll.
The last when when he double Wesley to give Majok an easy dunk was the last straw BUT he should have been off the court by then.
The demener of Gaze V Vickerman was very apparent. Although Gaze has improved since last year, he still rides every possession far too emotionally.
Vickerman on the other hand holds his cool even when there's a bad turnover or breakdown on D.
Gaze still has to get better at that.
United won by not doing anything spectacular, more the Kings couldn't exucute down the stretch.
