Kings are in great form, Tate v Kay could be interesting. Lisch in and Moller out both excellent defensively should make little difference to kings, though Mollers length has been great in stopping players. Newley v White another good battle. I can't see Perth winning this though on paper the game should be reasonably close. Trev already complaining about kings not a good look for Perth’s morale, like they have given up already.

Sydney by 13 playing bench for half the last quarter.

Concern I have with the cats, their defence can be woeful but their 0-18 run against Cairns shows that offensively they cannot hold ground with scoring if their defence is not working.

If Perth win tonight this takes the pressure off going to Southeast Melbourne. Lose they're under a lot of pressure going there

We'll probably get creamed by sydney, but at the same time feels like one of those games where cats have this big inspiring form turn around and bounce back

I hope Sydney punish the cats for the good of the nation.

Majok starting

#sackhunt?

SBS on demand not working for me.

Just dropped out for me.. got do better.

Good game so far but the cats will be spent by half time

scratch that twitch

Cats too good even without cheating the salary cap

These refs are cooked

Kings defence has been awful, worst it's been this season.

WW looking super calm. Kings got this.

Perth don't have a budget they play for nothing, ask any Perth fan they’ll tell you.

Kings running with FIVE imports and still we are smacking them. Violet Crumbles! Love it!

Kings will be fine if they just pick up another couple of imports during the half time break.

Has there ever been a player to shoot as many free throws in the history of the NBL without actually being touched as Bryce Cotton? He is like a flailing fish.

which call do you think he wasn't fouled on in this game??

Can't correctly spell a name that has a total of 3 letters and calls someone else dumb as a post. Hmmm.

Starting Majok clearly the difference

Every time I see George post I read it in the "Of Mice and Men".. LOL. "I will name him George, and I will hug him, and pet him, and squeeze him"

If cats win this, will certainly hurt their chances of the cheating claim come finals time when they get swept.

Dwayne Russell is the biggest flog of a commentator in basketball
History. No friggen idea.

Weaver trying to work out a way to get a sixth import onto the roster. Expect him to be thrown out during the second half

Sixers will be NBL champs. We smash Perth in Perth, Sydney look like a WNBL team in Perth. Adelaide vs Perth NBL Finals. Book it

So no SBS coverage tonight it seems. 2 games MIA.

It is on SBS on Demand. I'm watching it right now. SBS through Foxtel looks like trash.

A lot of fluff calls for Perth

Sydney the better team but refs looking after Perth as usual

Perth are going to blow this. Calling it now.

These referees are calling Kings for standard box-outs.

Can't blame the refs for being down by 25

Sydney have shot more free throws and somehow it is the refs helping Perth to a 25 point lead? LMAO

So much salt from Sydney fans.
Eat shit cunters.

You're down by 20+ because you're playing like shit.

Perthworld, I guess Cairns and Adelaide have the kryptonite against the WIldcats too, right? Better hope neither make playoffs or you may be home very early.

Sydney should run with a lineup of Ware, Didi, Taylor, Lisch and Tate. All World five.

I only ever watch on SBS. Finally got it and couldn't see the first game either. Very weird. Tried the mobile too. SFA.
Unfortunatly all those salty Perth fans have been found out. I hope they all apologise here, 1 and all.
Oh what about the "Sack Trev" numpties too.

Perthsworld you say we need to host three of five.
You realise Perth won game 4 on the road last year.

Trev is still a flog. Complete flogliness still on full display despite score.

deni hines Should travel with the kings

United wont even make finals. Sydney Perth SEM Cairns

Bogut = dumbass with his unsportsmanlikes.

That unsportsmanlike on Bogut, referees clearly don't know what they're doing, they aren't up to standard or they are better on the Wildcats.

It's embarrassing watching Hunt shoot free throws he is shit.

Salty tonight Angus.
I like it.

Bad day at office for kings but could be a good think long term. Moller off the bench for boards and defence would be very handy as well.

Only thing Bogut has got right this year was his call at the airport about how Perth get the calls at home. Clear assistance on display, but not enough to justify this margin.

How the fuck is that on Tate? Wagstaff strikes again

Bet you thought Sydney would win easily you spud.

Perth still are arseholes. Bring it on.

Perth wont go anywhere. No consistency. Look at what Adelaide did to them last week

I blame Aylen

Is it school holidays in pert already, so many nutters on tonight.

Bring on Cooks

^ I like how your username is based on Bryce Cotton and his style of play

Anyone that thinks that Perth got favourable treatment tonight from the refs is an idiot.

^ They did. Anyone who cannot see that is equally an idiot.

Even as a perth fan who is happy with the win, those refs were completely incompetent tonight.

Some absolute howlers tonight that were called and not called.

Finally an honest perth fan

"USF? Really?"

I think the refs just felt sorry for us, knowing that sending spunt to the line was akin to giving Sydney a basket.

Who is the bigger Spunt?
Spunt or Majok?

Best part about being at tonight's game was i got to miss one of derwaynes game calls for the week.

Did Vague run over Trev's cat?

Getting less minutes than Britt, in a walkover.

Better stock up on the spf50, he will need it in Cairns.

Why is Kickert still in the NBL? Is there a bigger softer Phallus in the league?

Sydney were undermanned missing Cooks and Moller.
Lucas Walker looks close to retiring and Hunter looks injured.
Are Sydney working a deal to get Ingles and Baynes in.

S M A C K E D

No not at all Simmons and Lebron to replace Taylor as the third import.

Premiership isn't won in December, one year ago every one was saying Perth were gone after a few losses but we all know how that finished.

Taylor has been awful except for one game.

How was Taylor allowed to play when he was brought in to replace Lisch and Lisch was back?

He replaced Moller.

Weaver looked shell shocked in his press conference.

Weaver was terrible last night. Crazy rotations, no adjustments to that middle pick and roll Perth kept running, no fire or intensity. Let's see how they respond tomorrow.

Bogut's defence is basically 'please shoot over me' and Cotton & White offense was basically 'ok sure we will do that all night'

37% is hardly ridiculous. there are teams who average better than that for the season.

70 in one half followed by 26 in another.
The 44 point difference must be a record in itself.

The 19 point margin flattered Sydney.

Anyone know how long until Cooks makes his debut?

Cooks hasn't played yet, Mollers absence was notable, his help on D sorely missed. Hopefully him and Cook available next week.

For all those saying Sydney will rebound, I still wonder.
Of course they will, but its exposed a huge hole in their armour. It had all the halmarks of the best Gaze fades.
People rag on Gleeson and he may be the biggest tosser in the league but hes also the best coach. Weaver was out-coached, and badly.

Sydney will be fine when the athletic talent of Moller and Cook start to play.
