Illawarra v Sydney 11Dec.
No other thread????
Predictions. Could be quadruple OT. They have a 2 and a half hour break before the 2nd game.

Kudos to the prankster who had "Hoops Capital" painted on the Kings court.

The 2 King imports are made of sugar. Better toughen up to play in this league.

Jessup throwing up elbows, and Conrad - pushing a Kings player in the chest and flopping to the ground to get a foul. IS THAT WHAT THE GREAT GOORJIAN IS TEACHING NOW !!! IF THIS IS WHAT YOU NEED TO DO FOR A WIN, THEN PAUL SMITH MAY BE RIGHT. (Initially I disagreed with Paul's comments).
Refs clearly favouring kings. Neither side look that good, defensively not impressive. Phoenix got these two measure.

They have a 2 and a half hour break before the 2nd game.Where did you learn math?
How tf are the camera angles | production on this game so bad?
We get shown a reply and it's literally of players feet. Farking hell.
Bruce second flop, no call, kings coach whining like a baby to refs getting kings back in it.
Reath is absolute gun and I don't say that often. Glover kicking Froling when on the ground. Kings run hard and fast offensively but don’t realise that defence wins games. Cooks pushing Jessup, and hands on ref. Martin still as useless as last season.

Yeah, koberulz. What I meant was... But you're right! (that hurt, lol). You can work out what I meant, can't you?

Hawks team coming together nicely. Now have a defensive wing as good as Simon who can also score and a stretch big man that have filled the glaring holes in last years solid team.
Sure Kings were down their import back court so it's hard to gauge how good they will be.
Not sure why Bruce didn't get a T for that second flop.
Cleveland looks to be a gun.
Watching Baby Homicide aka Damon Lowery on the post game show was a tough hang.

Glover piss poor. Couple of cheap ones. No class. May be Smiths love child.

The Hawks look like they still have another 3 gears. The Kings - another injury year?
Cook had very impressive stats except for the minus 14, doesn't always tell the story but not great.

I thought it was a good quality game for the most part, but the Kings running with a little bit too much inexperience with the injuries they have and it showed with the turnovers. That was really the difference, too much to overcome even with the impressive rebounding display.
Even with the mistakes, impressed by both Swani and Bayles so far, and liked the even contributions across the rotation.
Hawks on the other hand, Reath was super impressive and Cleveland took it to another level at times. They are still the side to beat this season for my money.

Also not sure why Harry is getting minutes for the Hawks. I think AJ provides more at this point.

I'd like to see the Northern Territory get a team. Sponsorship-wise might not be viable but maybe with some government funding it could happen.
Didn't think swani did much at all, also no structured offence, just run and gun. Next star maker deserves more time, Martin should come off the bench, reath pumped him. Will wait till kings imports get going but not enough D or structure there last night to beat Perth or SEM. Will make finals though, roster is long.
