Wildcats get this easily. Plumlee will destroy Kickert and Hunter in the post.

Terrico playing?

Lisch back.

Can't see any results but kings loss. Perth by plenty if White plays, if not Perth by 11.

Is there an update on Whites status?

Might make Sydney feel more at home if there is a bit of purple and yellow in the crowd with people wearing kobe jerseys

Terico cleared to play at 2:35

Lisch will start tonight

Trevor just ate a burger for pre game

Kings gave up 31 in a hurry

Ware milking it and getting rewarded handsomely...

Tate is such a flog

Kings intentionally fouling the screener hard. Is it close to a usf? Doesnt look like a basketball play.

Bruce has a much higher opinion of his own abilities than he should

Bruce has a much higher opinion of his own abilities than he should

Gleeson really hates his bigs. Plumlee barely seen the court.

How ware doesn't get teched for the flop or kings get a t for having 6 on court is beyond me.

I guess it was homecooking Angus when newley made that very safe play when the game was in the balance. Pathetic, should have been tossed.

It was a bit unbecoming of newley. Tate i would have expected it

Kings will be better when all hands on deck, to get with in 10 was a good result. Get Bogut, Didi and Moller back and kings are deep. Perth are Perth but not invincible and if the semi match up is Cairns it could throw up surprise result.

#044

Not certain on starter as spent long time out, 100% on his help out though. Lisch and Moller really strengthens them defensively.

How did Taylor play for the Kings?

Perth had flown back from melbourne after playing wednesday, even down bogut and didi kings should have been fresh

I know kings went small, but Plumlee needed more minutes. Kings shat their pants driving to the basket with him out their. I reckon they only scored a handful of points from the key when he was on. He bas the mobility to get out to guys like Kickert and tate when kings go small too.

Will weaver has to be the biggest sook! Sideline is one thing but again in the press conference, illegal screens, automatically down a few calls, fta discrepancy, cited the foul, which in reality was pretty close.

"Paul Smith putting in a very strong bid for the biggest sook award, chucking another wobbly on twitter, this time because the Wildcats' indigenous basketball jersey incorporates some elements that relate to the Wildcats basketball club.

Strange man."

LMAO WTF. Just checked out his Twitter. Honestly has to be up there with the dumbest things I've seen on Twitter, and that's saying something. What an embarrassment. How is someone that stupid so wealthy and in charge of a basketball organisation.

He has no class.

Smith's tweet is not only classless but completely misinformed and disrespectful of the Indigenous artist who created the design.

Typical ignorance from Angus there.

I don't even understand his point, he's annoyed the Wildcats jersey makes references to things like the Wildcats championships, finals streak, travel, big crowds, history?

Aboriginal art is about telling stories and history through symbols. I personally really like the story behind the uniform design and its symbolism.

What an idiot.

Bogut is so selfish. He knew they were no chance of winning in perth and didn't want to be part of a thumping loss. As it turned out they got a lot closer than if bogut would have played because they didn't sook

Oh dear.

I'm a Kings fan, and I think Paul Smith is an embarrassment. Those comments were disgusting and way out of line, unbecoming of an owner, and given they were around Indigenous Round, something the league has being promoting heavily, I’m wondering what action, if any, Kestleman and Loeliger are going to take? At the very least this imbecile needs a severe reprimand.

Why was Martin allowed to sit on the bench?

Why isn't he allowed?

Because you can only have 12 players on the bench. Only people listed on the score sheet.

What was with no tech foul getting called when NZ had 6 on court?

Keeping the streak alive it seems. Home cooking.

Yeah such cheating!!

Perth fans with a dumbest takes on hoops. Beyond comical

Which comments are you referring to?

Where do we start.
Great team. Worst fan base.

So nothing specific, you just wanted to have a whinge about Perth. Feel better, snowflake?

I am 100% sure it's illegal. By all means he can sit behind the bench, not on it.

Better read the rule book man.
16 seats. are available. You work it out.

I guess neither of you cockwombles understand the rules. No point in duscussing it anymore.

One thing for certain is that Gleeson doesn't sit on the bench, he’s to busy being the fourth ref.

12 players, 16 spots. Its not that difficult to figure it out. The Head Coach (technically) is the only one allowed to stand.

The rulez.

Maybe but they don't sit on the front row. Martin had no right to be there. Plus you will find that those 21 will be on the score sheet.

"2.4.5 Team bench areas
The team bench areas shall be marked outside the playing court limited by 2 lines as
in Diagram 1.
There must be 16 seats available in each team bench area for the head coach, the
assistant coaches, the substitutes, the excluded players and the accompanying delegation members. Any other persons shall be at least 2m behind the team bench."

"the excluded players"

So, Martin then?

I think this discussion on the number of seats on the bench should be in its own thread

"12 players, 16 spots. Its not that difficult to figure it out. "

How often are all 12 players seated at the same time?

That has nothing to do with anything. Excluded players are players that have fouled out generally. Not non players.

This is a total non-issue. Who cares that Marto was sitting on the bench with the other players?

It's a rule, that's all. If you sit on the bench you have to be on the score sheet.
it's amazing that no one knows this rule. it's been around forever

Maybe we know it, but just don't care

Koberulez said there was no such rule. It must be true.
Looks like no one knows the rule. Count the front row of chairs next time. Let's hope some here can count to 16.

"Looks like no one knows the rule."

Looks like no one gives a shit.

Yeah not a lot of point in having a sensible conversation here that's for sure.

The rule has already been posted if you were paying attention. 21? Where is that written down.?

I see no problem with Dr Martin sitting on the bench either.

""2.4.5 Team bench areas
The team bench areas shall be marked outside the playing court limited by 2 lines as
in Diagram 1.
There must be 16 seats available in each team bench area for the head coach, the
assistant coaches, the substitutes, the excluded players and the accompanying delegation members. Any other persons shall be at least 2m behind the team bench."

He is not allowed to sit on the frontbench idiot. I don't give a shit where else he sits. Get it?

"Get it?"

No, because you haven't posted anything that says he can't sit there.

Who gives a rats arse where he sits.

If you saw the Perth Melbourne game Casey Prather was sitting on the bench every team has there injured players sitting on the bench

Prather is their chaplain.

No one cares

Isn't Prather the towel waver, over paid one at that.

Jees you really are dumb. Again.
"There must be 16 seats available in each team bench area for the head coach, the
assistant coaches, the substitutes, the excluded players and the accompanying delegation members. Any other persons shall be at least 2m behind the team bench."
16 seats on the bench area. IE the FRONT FFS.
Is Martin on the list? Unlikely. 12 players 5 on the court at anyone time and 1 Head coach and 3 or 4 asst coaches. Even your dumb arse should understand that. But then again. Outta here. Where is your 21 rule published? Yet to see that. Yet another figment of your imagination. It's quite surprising that you are arguing about a rule you said didn't exist. TTFN.

He's posted the rule above Bruce.

Bruce spelled "mate" wrong again

"4.2.1 Each team shall consist of:
• No more than 12 team members entitled to play, including a captain.
• A head coach.
• A maximum of 8 accompanying delegation members, including a maximum of 2
assistant coaches who may sit on the team bench. In case a team has assistant
coaches, the first assistant coach shall be entered on the scoresheet."

Vs Kobe own rulez.
4.2.1 Each team shall consist of:
• No more than 12 team members entitled to play, including a captain.
• A coach and, if a team wishes, an assistant coach.
• A maximum of 7 accompanying delegation members who may sit on the team
bench and have special responsibilities, e.g. manager, doctor, physiotherapist,
statistician, interpreter, etc.

THis must also be in conjunction with the Bench rule whay Kobe keeps ignoring.

"2.4.5 Team bench areas
The team bench areas shall be marked outside the playing court limited by 2 lines as
in Diagram 1.
There must be 16 seats available in each team bench area for the head coach, the
assistant coaches, the substitutes, the excluded players and the accompanying
delegation members. Any other persons shall be at least 2 m behind the team bench."
QED.


So different Kobe rulez it seems.

Bruce is older and wrong.

What is your issue Matt. Maybe you should post your defamatotory stuff here as you previously did and see how you last here you wanker.
I dare you, So just stfu and go back to your shithole.

Perthworld displays his cunty true colours.

Bruce is off his meds. Can't count to 21 and doesnt know the rules.

Yeah that's funny Matt. So many nicks and so much vitriol. Dragging this forum down too. You killed The Boards. Here is next it seems.

I dont know, i reckon the person incorrectly and angrily claiming Martin cant sit on the bench is doing his bit to ruin things.

Thanks again matt. Like most things to do with basketball you still know nothing. Why not just post iunder your Perfwurld nick and stop using so many other nicks as well. Sad days indeed here.
Pretty amazing that after so many years you are still a turgid bullying turd.
Go back to cracking heads as a bouncer. Suits you to a tee.

Hahahahaha this guy! Doesn't understand that the reason so many people dislike him is because he's an utter wanker. Na, it must be the same person posting with multiple nicknames. How can you be so clueless?!
