Sadly no chance JJ..and percentage going to take huge wack too. End of day doesn't matter can't beat cats no point.

If JJ's lose this and Sixers beat Cairns, Adelaide would be just 0.5 games and percentage behind the JJ's.

Tassie will still have 4 games left and Adelaide 5 games left after today.

Agreed can't see JJs getting out of this, should never underestimate them but kings really need this. JJs got no one who’s going to stop Cooks, the guards contest should be a lot more even but just don’t see how JJs win this. Kings by 10 plus.

15 plus easily

18000 spectators in the stadium, that's nearly a sell out.

First time I've ever seen Krslovic running the fast break!

Kings up 16-15 after a scrappy first quarter

What a horrible first quarter. This is going to be a hard watch

Great call by the ref, he flopped and issued the foul as he hit the legs of the scorer. JJs be happy with the score.

Kings are a rabble, they might go on and win this but need a miracle to win this season. The talking up of Noi as sixth man is also rubbish, he struggles on D most of the time, yes he's a scorer on his good days.

Oliver been kings best, lead by four. JJs just do it by committee, Doyle scoring a few though.

JJ have no depth. Out of this game already.

Credit to Tassie, they're not letting Sydney brush them aside.

'Out of this game already'

Down a point at 3QT ;)

Down is down.

JJs brave but not winning this. A good old scap, fine by me.

Hummer been very useful for king today, his blue collar work is invaluable.

For everyone who wrote Tassie off, this one seems to be going down to the wire

Why sub Hummer out for Terangi.

Noi is such a good FT shooter, never looks like missing

11 free throws to 32, Noi had more free throws on his own than all JJs.

Called it.. JJ gone totally.

That might just be the stupidest play I've ever seen in a game of NBL. WHAT WAS HUMMER THINKING!!??

What an awful signing

Proud of the JJs

Outclassed at the end.

Interesting comments on this thread early re out of it in the first quarter.


JJs are tough - get back Deng and Magnay and sneak in to the finals watch out.

Some tough calls down the stretch ie Crawford on Noi (did not effect the play) and Doyle not getting any calls but that did not make the difference. Noi did.

Gaze is hard to listen to as a commentator.

Looking forward to the usual posters having a crack at Roth.

Personally very happy as a JJ supporter to have him as their coach.

Tough loss it was there for the winning.

Channel 10 just goes away from the game to an ad break no warning as soon as it hit 4pm. Had to flick it over to 10 Bold to see the end of the game.

Was just thinking which was dumber, Hummer or Adams backcourt violation timeout call earlier this season.
All this blue collar talk, he is just ordinary and be the 10th player on most rosters.

Agreed Phantom, unfortunately a really big miss by the JJs when they signed him

That Hummer guy is an absolute dud. Screws up badly in one posession takes his eyes off the ball and let's the inbound from JC hit him in the face and then jacks up that stupid monster 3 thinking the shot clock was expiring. Game, set and match.

I know the JJ's were hoping McVeigh was going to come back but they should've spent more of that money to do better than Sword/Hummer. I'm sure McVeigh would've understood and taken a bit of a discount on his usual pay just to see out the season.

JJs a little unlucky, just on the foul count. Hummer was very good except for one absolute brain fade. I still believe JJs will get sixth and deserve it. I'm not a fan of people or players talking themselves up, it’s to American for me, I prefer just humble players and people, but then again I’m from an older generation.

Kings a semi finalist at best not going anywhere near a title if you struggle to beat a team as undermanned as the jackjumpers

Who are you referring to talking themselves up Dunkman?

I assumed he was talking about Noi, who personally I think is a brilliant entertainer

I'm old enough to remember Kouat Noi telling us he wasn't going to be in the NBL long as he was headed to the NBA upon signing with Cairns. Five years later...

Noi's a gun have - no issues with him talking himself up.

Do have an issue with the 17 turnovers from the JJs (along with the 30 -13 foul discrepancy). Couple of the turnovers at crucial times.

Yes Noi. It's is also true that he told all and sundry that Cairns was a stop over on the way to nba.

Hummer is clearly better the sword, he’s certainly better than Terangi in today’s game. Is he a super star no. As had been said they should have gone hard on a good player when McVeigh left, Terangi was never going to be that piece.

@ Scout, I'm not certain Noi D would make Roth happy.

Yup - not a JJ type player.

Won the game for the Kings today.

I'm Roth type player fan.
