Matt McQuade does a good job. I like him. He is much better than that Nathan guy.

Great hustle by Majok forcing Lisch into that turnover.
Kings look pretty sloppy.

Like our even contribution so far. Imports combining for only 8 points on 3/10 shooting, Wiley really struggling. Aussie group is picking up the slack nicely. Deng looks ready to take a step this year.

I'm liking the energy De Leon is bringing to the group.

Does Froling count as a rookie? Or does his DP year at Townsville count?

Hahaha. Just as Deng Deng was heating up, Gaze subs him out for Wear.

So , we might not be as bad as most people think we are .
Hendo he played minutes while a DP so can't seem him being classified as a rookie.
I like this Illawarra side. Going to surprise I reckon.

Worrying signs for the Kings - 8 weeks together, and still looks like they are struggling on both ends, with very little scoring in the paint. Just hope Bogut is holding back for the real season. Surely, no one can beat him on a post, face up, 2 steps, hook/layup/dunk. Or is he too old and too slow? As I've said previously, playing with effectively one 1 import in Randle is not enough. Time to get 2 more legit imports that can score in the paint.

Bogut will play well for the first half of the season and burn out. Bogut cant get out to contest the opposing centers jumpsuit, whether that's by instruction to stay in the paint or him not having a quick step that's one way to pick him apart or at least get him tired contesting jumpsuits.

Bogut didn't look mentally or physically up to it today. He would always struggle against fast paced teams like Adelaide he was made to look like a stobie pole.
I said when he signed he would probably be good for say 8p and 8r a game never understood the predictions he would average 20 & 10.
Agree Zodiac . I was sad to see Bogut struggle so much today
Whats with the United uniforms? All the players have their front numbers offset from the centre to the left. Ware's is in the middle.
Consistency please Son of LK.
Bogut just said ""To give up 98 points, I know they like to push the tempo but [if] we give up that many points during the season, we will finish bottom, last."
Every chance. JVG, wrong again. Lister wrong again.
Froling is a rookie. DP years don't count towards a rookie year. Rookies are contracted players only.
I remember that Froling in his DP year played at least one regular season game away from home as Crocs had injuries, therefore in the main roster. I remember it was vs. Utd in Melbourne. Does this complicate matters?
Look at the kings stats, all bench players in the minus, not defender amongst them including Bowen the second. Wilson will get a few points on a good day but defends like my grandma.
Hopefully this season will be crap and Gaze and JVG will be moved on. I am a passionate Kings supporter and I hate this shit. It's only pre season I know but we are shit. SDL are tipped to be botton. Bogut said tonight it could be the Kings. So why is Bogut getting all the press and Drewie says nothing. Pathetic.

I've said all along that Kings will underachieve because their culture is poor and Gaze is a zero as a coach.
If the sack Gaze and replace Wear, I might take them seriously.
