SEM at kings 7.30 aedt

Should be a beauty, kings coming off a bad loss, SEM off a great win. Can coach King tame the kings, good question, I don't know, I’ll go for OT to kings. For SEM it all resolves around Hunter and Hurt not getting into foul trouble. Oliver to have a good one, he is better than Goorj thinks.

SEM in form so Sydney really need to bounce. Kuol back will help but they've still got too many stars/egos who all want/expect minutes.

Hunter will be looking to have a big game so SEM right in it.

Oliver and Bruce both starting, after essentially being thrown under the bus by their coach. Last chances before the new guy is signed?

Let the big men play disgusting foul call on Hunter got run into. Now one on Hurt, challenged, that's not a foul, even though called it. Rubbish let them play, they are big men.

King is turning into my favourite coach, the ball movement is outstanding. Foxwell is also going to up there with the best in a few seasons. The Sobey transformation is also outstanding. Free throws keeping kings in this. 30-28 to SEM. Kings certainly getting calls at present.

Goorj needs to retire. Kings have no offensive identity it's just your turn my turn. He subs for the sake of subbing trying to find something.

60-47 to SEM. Very good game even though imo refs have called some rubbish on both sides, more on SEM but still some on kings. Kings still in this do to foul calls on some SEM players, Ayre playing time with out chucking up a shot, Sobey playing as good as he's ever played, interesting second half but I’m becoming a fan of SEM for how they play.

SEM playing some great team basketball on both ends.
People seem to know their roles and have bought in.

Yeah, Sobey is playing good team basketball, but he's still annoying af with his yelling on the slightest touch just in case the refs didn’t realise.

Wish the refs would clamp down on it - it’s as bad as the head-throws.

I'll say it again: the kings resigning Adams is downright workplace malpractice

Kings might have a shot at a play-in spot. Maybe.

Or going back to iso instead of the teamwork that got them to the front. Looking at Walton in particular.

Alright got to eat my own words yet again. Adam's was huge in the 4th to get them the comeback win.

Soooooo turning off the game at 3/4 time to watch Netflix didn't seem like a great move ....

And people say wildcats commentary is biased.... Sydney with by far the best home cooking, just gifted free throws.

Say what you want about either team but from 13 down at 3QT to 9 up at FT is one of the craziest comebacks I've seen in a while

Sorry what does commentary have to do with home cooking?

Very good game, SEM did shoot themselves in the foot but kings to good down the stretch, possibly tiredness. Refs were very average from first quarter to last, called some rubbish on much soft rubbish. Hurt non existent in the last, played just under 35 minutes, I've said all along they are a tall short, certainly on the D end, not certain why Vadonavic got a bit more time, certainly when they were leading, should make finals but the 0-5 start will haunt them.
Kings massive down the stretch, Adams and Cook, Maluach on D just what they needed. The ball and refs rolled their way but they were always going to be at the pointy end. Bruce and Oliver also did well. Noi on offence. It’s taken long enough but Goorj put Leafa where he should be, on the end bench.

Rosen unbearable to listen to when the Kings have their tails up. Would've actually ejaculated at the final buzzer I’m sure of it.

Rosen's always been unbearable especially when doing Kings games. He bleeds purple & gold. Played his whole career for the Kings and towards the end despite being a benchie they made him the captain of the team.

It's one thing to be a devoted and proud club man but as he's unable to even remotely call Kings games objectively, which has always been a problem for him, the onus is on the NBL not to put him on.

Totally agree re Rosen, it was a disgrace at the end.

You guys are idiots. Rosen is no different to Lowery for Hawks, Damo for Perth and Gaze for Melbourne. As a kings supporter he has been very hard on them all year and they have one good quarter and he says how well there playing and you bag it. Pleeeeese. He did show somluch love for SEM was for 3 qts so get off your hate for the Kings.

"It's taken long enough but Goorj put Leafa where he should be, on the end bench."

Spot on. Le'afa's shocking season and Galloway's injury is exactly why Goorjian wants another piece in the backcourt. While in terms of usual team balance a frontcourt player makes sense, in terms of how Goorjian wants this team to play another quality guard is essential.

Will this line-up work in the finals without a genuine C? Not sure, but it's the style Goorj is betting the house on.

Exactly hoodie. Thought sobey and even glover to an extent were guilty of that too

That's a bad loss for the Phoenix

Yes they did let the ball stick as King said in his presser, he also mentioned that his team went from one foul in the third quarter to three in the first minutes of the last. Good point, the home cooking imo went down well for the home side. I thought King should've got Kenyon on to when Adams started his run as well, probably also Foxwell. Still a very good game, he wouldn’t cop the excuse of tiredness. The 0-5 start was always going to bite, still a chance of the six though, probably can’t win it though.
